6 Shared Storage Software Setup

NOTE
In "Update the Firmware" and "Launch HP NetRAID Express" you are required to take
action during bootup. Review these procedures before restarting the system so that you
are prepared to take the necessary actions.

Update the Firmware

Perform one of the two following procedures based on the NetRAID version you are using for shared
storage.
Update the Firmware for NetRAID (D4943A) or NetRAID-1 (D4992A)
1. Restart System A and during bootup (after initialization and channel scanning) check that the displayed
HP NetRAID firmware version for all installed NetRAID adapters is:
HP NetRAID Adapter
If correct, go to "Configure Your Systems NetRAID Adapters" below. If not, go to the next step.
2. Shut down the system and boot to DOS.
3. Insert the utility floppy disk labeled NR Cluster Firmware and Driver in the system's floppy drive and
log on to the A drive.
4. At the A: prompt, run the firmware update program mflash.exe by typing: a:\mflash [Return].
The mflash utility begins updating the firmware and provides feedback in the form of animated bars that
assess the utility's progress.
5. Be sure to update the firmware for all NetRAID adapters. When complete, click Yes and reboot the
system when prompted.
Update the Firmware for NetRAID-3Si (D5955A)
1. Restart system A and during bootup (after initialization and channel scanning) check that the displayed
HP NetRAID-3Si BIOS and firmware versions for all installed NetRAID-3Si adapters is shown on the
boot banner as:
BIOS VER B.01.10
Firmware Ver W.01.20
If correct, go to "Configure Your Systems NetRAID Adapters" below. If not, go to the next step.
2. Insert the NetRAID-3Si Cluster Firmware and Driver floppy disk you created earlier and reboot the
system.
3. The system will boot to DOS and run the HP NetRAID firmware flash utility. Follow the instructions to
update the firmware on all NetRAID-3Si adapters. When complete, cycle power on the system to
reboot.
