Downloading Firmware - HP Surestore Disk Array 12h - And FC60 System Administrator Manual

Downloading Firmware

The download command copies new firmware code to the controller(s) or individual disk mechanisms in
the disk array. Firmware also can be copied from a primary array controller to a secondary controller.
The ARMServer and arraymond processes continue to run while the download is in progress. However,
these processes may not be able to access the array during the download because the download operation
shuts down the disk array. This may cause warning messages such as the following to be displayed:
access error:
file name> at <machine name>
These warning messages can be ignored.
CAUTION! The firmware code is copied from the primary controller to the secondary
controller, so before performing this task make sure the controller that has the desirable
code is designated the primary controller. See
instructions on changing the state of the controller.
