NOTE: In dual-controller configurations, firmware on the two controllers is compared each time the MSA chassis is restarted. If the versions are mismatched, the system prompts to clone the firmware on the controller with the latest version over to the controller with the earlier version firmware. The following message is displayed on the LCD panel of the controller with the earlier firmware: 07 CLONE FIRMWARE ? '' = YES Press the > button on the LCD panel to clone the firmware. During the cloning process, informational messages are displayed on the controller LCD panels. When the cloning process is complete, the just-updated controller automatically restarts. 11. After the MSA startup process is complete, access the MSA Flash Utility again, click Find Devices, and then read the display to verify that the firmware was updated. 12. Before resuming I/O access to the MSA, verify that the MSA and its storage arrays are online. 13. Repeat these steps on other MSA that need updating. Using the SCSI Command Utility (HP-UX) NOTE: The following HP-UX environments can use the SCU to update MSA firmware: • active/passive MSA1000: currently-installed firmware must be v4.38 or v4.48. • active/passive MSA1500: currently-installed firmware must be v5.10 or later. • active/active MSA1000 or MSA1500: currently-installed firmware must be v6.xx or later. If firmware other than the above listed versions is currently installed on the MSA, you cannot use the SCU to update the firmware on the MSA. You must use the MSA CLI download firmware offline command. See Using the MSA CLI (most environments). NOTE: When migrating from active/passive to active/active firmware, use the MSA CLI download firmware offline command to upgrade the firmware. See Using the MSA CLI (most environments). During the updating process, use the following table to enter information about your environment.

NOTE:
In dual-controller con
gurations,
rmware on the two controllers is compared each time
the MSA chassis is restarted. If the versions are mismatched, the system prompts to clone
the
rmware on the controller with the latest version over to the controller with the earlier
version
rmware. The following message is displayed on the LCD panel of the controller
with the earlier
rmware:
07 CLONE FIRMWARE ? ‘<‘ = NO, ‘>’ = YES
Press the
>
button on the LCD panel to clone the
rmware. During the cloning process,
informational messages are displayed on the controller LCD panels. When the cloning
process is complete, the just-updated controller automatically restarts.

and then read the display to verify that the
rmware was updated.

Using the SCSI Command Utility (HP-UX)
NOTE:
The following HP-UX environments can use the SCU to update MSA
rmware:
active/passive MSA1000: currently-installed
rmware must be v4.38 or v4.48.
active/passive MSA1500: currently-installed
rmware must be v5.10 or later.
active/active MSA1000 or MSA1500: currently-installed
rmware must be v6.xx or later.
If
rmware other than the above listed versions is currently installed on the MSA, you cannot use the SCU
to update the
rmware on the MSA. You must use the MSA CLI
download firmware offline
command. See
Using the MSA CLI (most environments)
.
NOTE:
When migrating from active/passive to active/active
rmware, use the MSA CLI
download firmware
offline
command to upgrade the
rmware. See
