Follow the procedures in this section to verify and update the firmware in an external enclosure.

Verifying the Enclosure Firmware

Use saupdate from the EFI Shell to verify the firmware image on the enclosure.

To verify the enclosure firmware with saupdate, follow these steps:

  1. Prepare to run saupdate from the Offline Diagnostics CD or the EFI partition:

    • To run saupdate from the Offline Diagnostic CD:

      1. Place the Offline Diagnostic CD containing saupdate.efi in the CD drive before booting the system.

      2. Boot the system to the EFI Shell prompt.

      3. Locate the cdrom entry in the list of mapped devices, and change to the device by entering its associated fs number (for example, fs0) under EFI Shell prompt.

      4. If the EFI utility is not located in the root directory, move to the directory where the file is located, for example:

        fs0:\> cd \EFI\HP\TOOLS\IO_CARDS\SmartArray

    • To run saupdate from the EFI partition:

      1. Download the SA EFI update utility saupdate.efi and copy it to the EFI partition.

      2. Boot the system to the EFI Shell and change directories to the EFI partition.

      3. If the EFI utility is not located in the root directory, move to the directory where the file is located, for example:

        fs0:\> cd \EFI\HP\TOOLS\IO_CARDS\SmartArray

    • Use saupdate LIST to display all detected Smart Array controllers along with the active firmware versions. For example:

    fs0:\EFI\TOOLS> saupdate list

    In this example, the system contains one MSA70 enclosure at segment 0, bus 8, device 0, function 0, index 2; enclosure firmware 2.04 is installed.

Downloading the Enclosure Firmware

To locate and download firmware for HP StorageWorks enclosures, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the HP Software & Driver Downloads website, at:

    http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support.html?pageDisplay=drivers

  2. Search for the name of your enclosure; for example, “MSA60” or “MSA70”.

  3. In the search results, click Cross operating system (BIOS, Firmware, Diagnostics, etc.).

  4. Click Download to download the firmware package.

Updating the Enclosure Firmware

NOTE: The following is a generic procedure to update firmware from the EFI shell. HP recommends that you follow the procedures supplied with the update package to install the firmware update.

Use saupdate from the EFI Shell to update the firmware image on the enclosure.

To update the enclosure firmware with saupdate, follow these steps:

  1. Prepare to run saupdate from the Offline Diagnostics CD or the EFI partition:

    • To run saupdate from the Offline Diagnostic CD:

      1. Download the firmware and copy it to the EFI partition.

      2. Place the Offline Diagnostic CD containing saupdate.efi in the CD drive before booting the system.

      3. Boot the system to the EFI Shell prompt.

      4. Locate the cdrom entry in the list of mapped devices, and change to the device by entering its associated fs number (for example, fs0) under EFI Shell prompt.

      5. If the EFI utility and firmware image files are not located in the root directory, move to the directory where these files are located, for example:

        fs0:\> cd \EFI\HP\TOOLS\IO_CARDS\SmartArray

    • To run saupdate from the EFI partition:

      1. Download the Smart Array EFI update utility saupdate.efi and copy it to the EFI partition.

      2. Download the firmware and copy it to the EFI partition.

      3. Boot the system to the EFI Shell and change directories to the EFI partition.

    IMPORTANT: The firmware image file and saupdate.efi must be located in the same directory. If they are not, copy them to the EFI partition and run the saupdate from there.

  2. Use saupdate UPDATE to update the firmware on the controller:

    • To update a single enclosure, use this command:

      saupdate UPDATE <seg:bus:dev:func:encl_index> <firmware_file>

      For example, to update the enclosure at segment 0, bus 8, device 0, function 0, index 2 with the firmware file VWG2_206.S3:

      fs0:\EFI\TOOLS> saupdate UPDATE 0:8:0:0:2 VWG2_206.S3

 Updating Enclosure in Seg: 0, Bus: 8, Dev: 0, Func: 0, Index: 2 


      Sending Image Chunk No: 117 of 117

     Activating firmware now, this may take several minutes.

     Retrieving firmware version, this may take several minutes.

Current Enclosure Firmware version is 2.06

    • To update all attached enclosures, use this command:

      saupdate UPDATE <seg:bus:dev:func> all_encl <firmware_file>

Verifying the Firmware Update

  1. After updating the firmware, cycle the power on the system and on any external JBODS connected to the system.

  2. Use saupdate LIST to confirm that the correct firmware version is installed. See “Verifying the Controller Firmware”.

    For example:

    fs0:\EFI\TOOLS> saupdate list
