Adding The Disk To A Disk Group; Handling Fiber Optic Cables; Disk Drive Status Indicators - HP StorageWorks 6100 - Enterprise Virtual Array User Manual

NOTE:
When downloading the firmware, make sure you use the disk model number to locate the
correct firmware file. If you have difficulty locating the correct firmware, contact your
HP-authorized service representative for assistance. If you are running XCS 6.000, verify that
leveling is not in progress before upgrading the disk drive firmware. In HP Command View
EVA, go to the General tab of the Disk Group Properties window and verify that the Leveling
field displays Inactive. If it displays Active, wait for leveling to complete before performing the
upgrade. This does not apply if you are running XCS 6.100 or later.
