Updating Disk Firmware - HP P2000 G3 Reference Manual

8. Either:
• To update all expansion modules, enter:
put firmware-file encl
• To update specific expansion modules, enter:
put firmware-file encl:EMP-bus-ID:EMP-target-ID
For example:
put S100P01.bin encl:1:63
It typically takes 2.5 minutes to update an EMP in each D2700 drive enclosure, 6.5 minutes to update
an EMP in each MSA70 drive enclosure, 2.5 minutes to update an EMP in each P2000 drive enclosure,
or 1.5 minutes to update an EMP in each MSA2000 drive enclosure. Wait for progress messages to
specify that the update has completed.
CAUTION:
update is interrupted or there is a power failure, the module might become inoperative. If this
occurs, contact technical support. The module might need to be returned to the factory for
reprogramming.
NOTE:
second time. If it fails again, contact technical support.
9. If you are updating specific expansion modules, repeat
that needs to be updated.
10. If you updated firmware in an HP MSA70 drive enclosure, power cycle that enclosure to complete the
update process.
1 1. Quit the FTP session.
12. In SMU, verify that the proper firmware version appears for each updated expansion module.

Updating disk firmware

You can update disk firmware by loading a firmware file obtained from the HP web download site,
http://www.hp.com/go/p2000. To install an HP ROM Flash Component or firmware Smart Component,
follow the instructions on the HP web site; otherwise, to install a firmware binary file, follow the steps
below.
A dual-ported disk can be updated from either controller. A single-ported disk that is in a vdisk or is a
dedicated spare for a vdisk must be updated from the controller that owns the vdisk. Attempting to update
a single-ported disk from the non-owning controller will not cause any change to the disk.
Disks in single-ported MSA70 drive enclosures must be updated from the controller to which the MSA70 is
connected.
NOTE: Disks of the same model in the storage system must have the same firmware revision.
You can specify to update all disks or only specific disks. If you specify to update all disks and the system
contains more than one type of disk, the update will be attempted on all disks in the system The update will
only succeed for disks whose type matches the file, and will fail for disks of other types.
To prepare for update
1. Obtain the appropriate firmware file and download it to your computer or network.
2. Check the disk manufacturer's documentation to determine whether disks must be power cycled after
firmware update.
