download firmware
Description Updates firmware on the MSA1510i controller or MSA1510i other
components, or, updates firmware on the hard drive storage enclosures
attached to the rear of the MSA1510i.
IMPORTANT:
Before using this method to update the firmware, make note of the
following:
• The custom CLI cable, shipped with the MSA, must be available to
establish the serial connection to the MSA. This command is not
available through SSH or Telnet.
• The host computer must support the 1k Xmodem (Ymodem) protocol.
• Although not used during the update, HP-UX environments must have
an MSA fiber link to a switch.
• Because this updating method uses a serial connection to the MSA,
it is substantially slower than other updating methods. The preferred
method of updating MSA1510i firmware is with the SMU. See the HP
Storage Management Utility user guide for more information.
Syntax
download firmware <mode>
Operands <mode >, where mode equals one of the following:
offline—uploads an MSA firmware file, used to update the MSA1510i
controller, fan modules, or Environmental Monitoring Unit. Supported for
use in single and dual controller configurations, this option requires a
manual power-cycle of the MSA upon completion of the update.
online—uploads an MSA1510i controller firmware file, to update
MSA1510i controller firmware only. Supported for use in dual-controller
configurations only, this option automatically power-cycles the MSA upon
completion of the update.
xml —uploads an inventory xml file, such as when updating
firmware on SCSI hard drives in attached SCSI storage enclosures.
Supported for use in single and dual controller configurations, this
option requires a manual power-cycle of the MSA upon completion of
the update.
d—uses the inventory xml file to downgrade the component.
f—uses the inventory xml file to update the component, such as when
updating xxx.
sc—uses a smart component to update a system component. Supported
for use in single and dual controller configurations, this option requires a
manual power-cycle of the MSA upon completion of the update.
