Updating expansion module firmware A drive enclosure can contain one or two expansion modules. Each expansion module contains an enclosure management processor (EMP). All modules of the same model should run the same firmware version. You can update the firmware in each expansion module by loading a firmware file obtained from the HP web download site, http://www.hp.com/go/p2000. To install an HP ROM Flash Component or firmware Smart Component, follow the instructions on the HP web site; otherwise, to install a firmware binary file, follow the steps below. You can specify to update all expansion modules or only specific expansion modules. If you specify to update all expansion modules and the system contains more than one type of enclosure, the update will be attempted on all enclosures in the system. The update will only succeed for enclosures whose type matches the file, and will fail for enclosures of other types. To update expansion module firmware 1. Obtain the appropriate firmware file and download it to your computer or network. 2. If you want to update all expansion modules, continue with the next step; otherwise, in SMU, determine the address of each expansion module to update: a. In the Configuration View panel, select a drive enclosure. b. In the enclosure properties table, note each EMP's bus ID and target ID values. For example, 0 and 63, and 1 and 63. Bus 0 is the bus that is native to a given controller, while bus 1 is an alternate path through the partner controller. It is recommended to perform update tasks consistently through one controller to avoid confusion. 3. In SMU, prepare to use FTP: a. Determine the network-port IP addresses of the system's controllers. b. Verify that the system's FTP service is enabled. c. Verify that the user you will log in as has permission to use the FTP interface. 4. If the system has a single controller, stop I/O to vdisks before starting the firmware update. 5. Open a Command Prompt (Windows) or a terminal window (UNIX) and navigate to the directory containing the firmware file to load. 6. Enter: ftp controller-network-address For example: ftp 10.1.0.9 7. Log in as an FTP user. 8. Either: • To update all expansion modules, enter: put firmware-file encl • To update specific expansion modules, enter: put firmware-file encl:EMP-bus-ID:EMP-target-ID For example: put S100P01.bin encl:1:63 It typically takes 2.5 minutes to update an EMP in each D2000 drive enclosure, 6.5 minutes to update an EMP in each MSA70 drive enclosure, or 1.5 minutes to load an EMP in each MSA2000 drive enclosure. Wait for progress messages to specify that the update has completed. CAUTION: Do not perform a power cycle or controller restart during the firmware update. If the update is interrupted or there is a power failure, the module might become inoperative. If this occurs, contact technical support. The module might need to be returned to the factory for reprogramming. HP StorageWorks 2000 G2 Modular Smart Array Reference Guide 129

Updating expansion module firmware
A drive enclosure can contain one or two expansion modules. Each expansion module contains an
enclosure management processor (EMP). All modules of the same model should run the same firmware
version.
You can update the firmware in each expansion module by loading a firmware file obtained from the HP
web download site,
p2000
. To install an HP ROM Flash Component or firmware
Smart Component, follow the instructions on the HP web site; otherwise, to install a firmware binary file,
follow the steps below.
You can specify to update all expansion modules or only specific expansion modules. If you specify to
update all expansion modules and the system contains more than one type of enclosure, the update will be
attempted on all enclosures in the system. The update will only succeed for enclosures whose type matches
the file, and will fail for enclosures of other types.
To update expansion module firmware
1.
Obtain the appropriate firmware file and download it to your computer or network.
2.
If you want to update all expansion modules, continue with the next step; otherwise, in SMU, determine
the address of each expansion module to update:
a.
In the Configuration View panel, select a drive enclosure.
b.
In the enclosure properties table, note each EMP’s bus ID and target ID values. For example, 0 and
63, and 1 and 63. Bus 0 is the bus that is native to a given controller, while bus 1 is an alternate
path through the partner controller. It is recommended to perform update tasks consistently through
one controller to avoid confusion.
3.
In SMU, prepare to use FTP:
a.
Determine the network-port IP addresses of the system’s controllers.
b.
Verify that the system’s FTP service is enabled.
c.
Verify that the user you will log in as has permission to use the FTP interface.
4.
If the system has a single controller, stop I/O to vdisks before starting the firmware update.
5.
Open a Command Prompt (Windows) or a terminal window (UNIX) and navigate to the directory
containing the firmware file to load.
6.
Enter:
ftp
controller-network-address
For example:
ftp 10.1.0.9
7.
Log in as an FTP user.
8.
Either:
•
To update all expansion modules, enter:
put
firmware-file
encl
•
To update specific expansion modules, enter:
put
firmware-file
encl:
EMP-bus-ID
:
EMP-target-ID
For example:
put S100P01.bin encl:1:63
It typically takes 2.5 minutes to update an EMP in each D2000 drive enclosure, 6.5 minutes to update
an EMP in each MSA70 drive enclosure, or 1.5 minutes to load an EMP in each MSA2000 drive
enclosure. Wait for progress messages to specify that the update has completed.
CAUTION:
Do not perform a power cycle or controller restart during the firmware update. If the
update is interrupted or there is a power failure, the module might become inoperative. If this
occurs, contact technical support. The module might need to be returned to the factory for
reprogramming.
