Updating Firmware Using The Storeonce Cli - HP StoreOnce 4700 Service And Maintenance Manual

The Status field will show which components are being updated and which updates have been
completed
In some cases, when the firmware update has been loaded, you will need to perform a reboot to
complete the firmware update. If a reboot is required, a pop-up message will appear on your GUI
screen after loading is completed. The message will also advise what type of reboot is required.
If a software reboot is needed, you will see a message asking if you want to reboot your system now
or later. If you click Yes, your system will be rebooted.
A power cycle, or cold reboot, requires that the system must be shut down for at least 60 seconds
before powering on using the Power-On buttons on the appliance.

Updating firmware using the StoreOnce CLI

Procedure
1. To show the status of firmware, run the StoreOnce CLI command:
# hardware show firmware <node|storage|all>
2. To see if any firmware needs upgrading, check the Action column.
IMPORTANT: Do not shut down or reboot your system or any system component until the final
step. Special instructions may apply.
3. Use the hardware update firmware command, as required. For example, there may be instances
where replacement hardware may need a firmware downgrade to bring it in line with the supported
firmware version of the installed StoreOnce software on the system being maintained. (Use the force
parameter in the command to enable this action.)
The command syntax is:
hardware update firmware <node|storage|all>
The command will be applied across all server components or across all storage components. The
all parameter updates all firmware components across all components.
There may be instances where replacement hardware may need a firmware downgrade to bring it in
line with the supported firmware version of the installed StoreOnce software on the system being
maintained. Use the force parameter in the command to enable this, but be aware that the update
will take longer to complete.
4. In some cases, when the firmware update has been loaded, you will need to perform a reboot to
complete the firmware update. If a reboot is required, a pop-up message will appear on your GUI
screen after loading is completed. The message will also advise what type of reboot is required.
a. Reboot the system using the StoreOnce CLI command:
system reboot
b. Power down the nodes using the StoreOnce CLI command:
system shutdown
After the system has completely shutdown, wait at least 60 seconds before powering on using the
Power-On buttons on the appliance.
