Firmware Download Procedure - HP Surestore Disk Array 12h - And FC60 Installation Manual

Firmware Download Procedure

See the flowcharts (Figure 2 and Figure 3) to determine which download procedure to follow. Pick the
appropriate procedure.
NOTE! This procedure assumes that the Model 12 and HP SureStore E Disk Array 12H
controllers have been updated to at least HP25 and HP24 firmware revisions, respectively.
If they have not been updated to these versions of firmware, then refer to the service notes
indicated below to update the array before continuing.
A3515A-03, A3516A-03, and A3516Z-01 HP AutoRAID Disk Array for the Model 12
A3700A-01, A3700-AD-01, and A3700AZ-01 HP AutoRAID Disk Array for the HP
SureStore E Disk Array 12H
NOTE! It is required that a backup of the array be performed before downloading the
firmware.
CAUTION! Follow all the procedures exactly as described. If you fail to follow the
procedures exactly, you could lose data!
CAUTION! In upgrading to HP40 or later firmware for the purpose of using 36-Gigabyte
disk drives, it is important that the controller firmware be upgraded before adding the 36-
Gigabyte disk drives, as any data written on those disk drives using any controller
firmware previous to version HP40 will be lost!
