Using the MSA CLI (most environments) This out-of-band MSA-based updating method is supported for use in most environments, with a few limitations. NOTE: This method can be used to update the MSA20 firmware. Follow the procedure below to first load the MSA20 firmware, and then load the MSA controller firmware. IMPORTANT: Before using this method to update the firmware, make note of the following: • For active/passive MSA1000, existing firmware on the controller must be v4.32 or later. • For active/passive MSA1500, existing firmware on the controller must be v4.94 or later. • For active/active MSA, all versions (v6.xx or later) support the use of this command. • The custom CLI cable, shipped with the MSA, must be available to establish the serial connection to the MSA. • The host computer must support the 1k Xmodem (Ymodem) protocol. • HP-UX environments must have an MSA fiber link to a switch. • OpenVMS environments have not tested this updating method. Use the MSA_UTIL. For instructions, see Using the MSA_Util (OpenVMS) • Tru64 UNIX environments cannot use this updating method. Use the SCSI CAM Utility (SCU). For instructions, see Using the SCSI CAM Utility (Tru64 UNIX). NOTE: Because this updating method uses a serial connection to the MSA, it is substantially slower than all other updating methods. If possible, HP recommends using the fibre-channel updating method for your operating system. NOTE: For information about accessing and using the CLI, see the HP StorageWorks 1000/1500 Modular Smart Array Command Line Interface User Guide, available on the MSA1000 and MSA1500 websites. 1.

Using the MSA CLI (most environments)
This out-of-band MSA-based updating method is supported for use in most environments, with a few
limitations.
NOTE:
This method can be used to update the MSA20
fi
rmware. Follow the procedure below to
fi
rst load the MSA20
fi
rmware, and then load the MSA controller
fi
rmware.
IMPORTANT:
Before using this method to update the
fi
rmware, make note of the following:
•
For active/passive MSA1000, existing
fi
rmware on the controller must be v4.32 or later.
•
For active/passive MSA1500, existing
fi
rmware on the controller must be v4.94 or later.
•
For active/active MSA, all versions (v6.xx or later) support the use of this command.
•
The custom CLI cable, shipped with the MSA, must be available to establish the serial connection to
the MSA.
•
The host computer must support the 1k Xmodem (Ymodem) protocol.
•
HP-UX environments must have an MSA
fi
ber link to a switch.
•
OpenVMS environments have not tested this updating method. Use the MSA_UTIL. For instructions,
see
Using the MSA_Util (OpenVMS)
•
Tru64 UNIX environments cannot use this updating method. Use the SCSI CAM Utility (SCU). For
instructions, see
Using the SCSI CAM Utility (Tru64 UNIX)
.
NOTE:
Because this updating method uses a serial connection to the MSA, it is substantially slower than all
other updating methods. If possible, HP recommends using the
fi
bre-channel updating method for
your operating system.
NOTE:
For information about accessing and using the CLI, see the
HP StorageWorks 1000/1500 Modular Smart
Array Command Line Interface User Guide
, available on the MSA1000 and MSA1500 websites.

2.
Establish a serial connection to the CLI:
NOTE:
Examples in this section use the HyperTerminal emulator program.
a.
