A small number of early-shipped Surestore Director FC-64 units may receive one
of the following messages when they upgrade to firmware 05.02.00-13:
This occurs only in certain units with CTP cards. Units with CTP2 cards do not
have this issue.
If you get one of these messages during the upgrade, the firmware upgrade failed,
but the unit continues working with the existing firmware without an interruption
in service. The upgrade process checks for sufficient memory before activating the
new firmware image. The firmware upgrade does not complete without sufficient
memory. Please contact HP Customer Support if you receive this message.
Upgrading firmware on a director from 04.xx.xx to 05.xx.xx
An issue has been identified in release 04.xx.xx if the contents of the nonvolatile
storage (NVRAM) on the active CTP become corrupted. Once the configuration
has been loaded, this corruption is not detected until an IPL/IML, power cycle, or
firmware code load. If the NVRAM in the active CTP has corrupted contents, the
firmware load can cause the configuration to reset to factory defaults, which could
cause a system outage. By using the following procedure to upgrade firmware,
configuration can be preserved and a system outage can be avoided. This issue
was corrected with firmware 05.02.00-13 and later.
Note:
05.xx.xx or later.
To safely upgrade firmware on a director, perform the following:
1. Upgrade HAFM software on the HAFM server/appliance to 07.01.00
