Example command and response CLI> set prompt MSA-1 MSA-1> Updating MSA firmware Periodically, HP releases updated versions of MSA controller firmware. Updates may include: additional features and functions, performance enhancements, and fixes to known issues. In addition to MSA1000 and MSA1500 components, this command can also be used to update components on attached MSA20 storage enclosures. NOTE: Because this updating method uses an out-of-band serial connection to the MSA, it is substantially slower than in-band Fibre Channel updating methods. If possible, HP recommends using the Fibre-Channel updating method for your operating system.

The firmware update may not work properly if the front-left controller is active during the update, especially if the update is performed via serial cable. • Existing firmware on MSA1000 controllers must be v4.32 or higher. • Existing firmware on MSA1500 controllers must be v4.94 or higher. • Host computer must support the 1k Xmodem (Ymodem) protocol. • Because firmware updates require a restart of the MSA and its attached storage enclosures, perform MSA controller firmware updates only during a scheduled maintenance window.
