Module Installation Requirements
To ensure that the HBAs can negotiate I/O paths with the
MSA500 G2 controllers, always install the most recent
firmware for the 4-Port Shared Storage Module, the controller,
and the HBAs:
•
For HBA firmware upgrade procedures, refer to the
controller documentation that ships with the hardware.
•
For controller and Shared Storage Module firmware
upgrade procedures, refer to the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/support/proliantstorage).
Installing the 4-Port Shared
Storage Module
CAUTION: In systems that use external data
storage, be sure that the server is the first unit to be
powered down and the last to be powered back up. Taking
this precaution ensures that the system does not
erroneously mark the drives as failed when the server is
powered up.
IMPORTANT: The upgrade for the StorageWorks MSA30
is only available for systems running HP-UX or Linux IA-64
operating systems. For more information, refer to the HP
StorageWorks Modular Smart Array 30 Multi Initiator
Upgrade for HP-UX or Linux IA-64 Systems Installation
Guide.
1. Power down the storage system.
2. Disconnect the SCSI cabling connected to the 2-Port
Shared Storage Module.
