When changing the external-view volume of a replication set, do so from the destination system first, then perform the change on the source system. MSA70 disk enclosures are supported for use with P2000 G3 arrays running TS230 or later firmware, but must have firmware 2.28 installed. For more information on MSA70 firmware compatibility with different P2000 G3 array firmware versions, see the QuickSpecs for the MSA70 or P2000 G3, or see the HP 60/70 Modular Smart Array Enclosure Firmware 2.28 Release... -

Updating array controller firmware may result in new event messages that are not described in earlier versions of documentation. For comprehensive event message documentation, see the most current version of the HP P2000 G3 MSA System Event Descriptions Reference Guide. The Smart Component update process logs messages to \CPQSYSTEM\Log\cpqsetup.log on the system drive in Windows and /var/cpq/Component.log in Linux. - Page 9 Installing firmware using Smart Components — Windows environments This is a self-extracting executable module. You can execute this module from the Windows graphical user interface (GUI) or the command line console (CLI). GUI option Place the downloaded firmware package in a temporary directory. Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the directory containing the download.
- Page 10 Installing firmware using Smart Components — Linux environments Place the downloaded firmware package in a temporary directory. Open a Linux command console. From the directory containing the downloaded file, enable execute access to this model by entering chmod +x CPxxxxxx.scexe, where CPxxxxxx.scexe represents the downloaded file. Execute the Smart Component by entering a command similar to the following: ./CPxxxxxx.scexe --target <ip_address>...

Page 11: Installation Troubleshooting
Installation troubleshooting If you experience issues during the installation process, do the following: When viewing system version information in the SMU System Overview panel, if an hour has elapsed and the components do not show that they were updated to the new firmware version, refresh the web browser. -
Page 12: Known Issues And Workarounds
Known issues and workarounds Issue: When installing a firmware update using the Smart Component, the installation routine may incorrectly report that the upgrade was unsuccessful. Workaround: If the Smart Component installation routine states that a firmware load was unsuccessful, verify which version of firmware is installed using an array management utility, such as the SMU or CLI. - Page 13 Issue: In the Command Line Interface, the array will incorrectly accept a DNS name for the address for the SMNP, SMTP, and NTP servers. The array does not use DNS, and will not be able to connect to the server correctly. Workaround: Instead of network names, enter the IP addresses for the servers.
- Page 14 Verify that the SFP+, Copper Cable, or Direct Attach Cable is a supported component. For support information, see the P2000 G3 QuickSpecs on the P2000 G3 product page: http://www.hp.com/go/p2000. If the components are indeed listed as supported models, remove and reinsert the SFP+, Copper Cable, or Direct Attach cable.
- Page 15 Workaround: Install a device driver for the mini-USB CLI port. This driver is packaged as a Smart Component and is available for download on the P2000 G3 support page. Issue: When using SMI-S, only partial support is provided for iSCSI Target Ports Subprofile.
- Page 16 Issue: A P2000 G3 iSCSI MSA System LUN which has been newly added to a Citrix XenServer 5.6 pool may not return to an active Storage Repository (SR) state following removal or replacement of an array controller.
