Follow the procedures in this section to check and update the firmware in an external enclosure. Verifying the Enclosure Firmware | |
Use saupdate from the EFI Shell to update the firmware image on the controller. Follow one of these two procedures to run saupdate: If you are using saupdate from the Offline Diagnostic CD:
Place the Offline Diagnostic CD containing saupdate.efi in the CD drive before booting the system. Boot the system to the EFI Shell prompt. Locate the cdrom entry in the list of mapped devices, and change to the device by typing its associated fs number (for example, fs0) under EFI Shell prompt. If the EFI utility is not located in the root directory, move to the directory in which the file is located, for example: fs0:\>cd \EFI\HP\TOOLS\IO_CARDS\SmartArray
If you are not using the Offline Diagnostic CD:
Download the SA EFI update utility saupdate.efi and copy it to the EFI partition. Boot the system to the EFI Shell and change directories to the EFI partition. If the EFI utility is not located in the root directory, move to the directory in which the file is located, for example: fs0:\>cd \EFI\HP\TOOLS\IO_CARDS\SmartArray
Run saupdate.efi using the using the fs0:\> saupdate.efi command. 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 Firmware Update, If Needed | |
To locate and download firmware for HP StorageWorks enclosures, follow these steps: Go to the HP Software & Driver Downloads website, at: http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support.html?pageDisplay=drivers Search for the name of your enclosure; for example, “MSA60” or “MSA70”. In the search results, click Cross operating system (BIOS, Firmware, Diagnostics, etc.). Click the Download button to download the firmware package.
Updating the Enclosure Firmware | |
| | | |  | NOTE: This section provides 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 HP Smart Array controller. Follow one of these two procedures to run saupdate: If you are using saupdate from the Offline Diagnostic CD:
Download the firmware and copy it to the EFI partition. Place the Offline Diagnostic CD containing saupdate.efi in the CD drive before booting the system. Boot the system to the EFI Shell prompt. Locate the cdrom entry in the list of mapped devices, and change to the device by typing its associated fs number (for example, fs0) under EFI Shell prompt. If the EFI utility and firmware image files are not located in the root directory, move to the directory in which these files are located, for example: fs0:\>cd \EFI\HP\TOOLS\IO_CARDS\SmartArray
| | | |  | IMPORTANT: Both saupdate.efi and the firmware image file must be located in the same directory. If they are not, copy them both to the EFI partition. Run the saupdate.efi using the fs0:\> saupdate command. | | | | |
If you are not using the Offline Diagnostic CD:
Download the SA EFI update utility saupdate.efi and copy it to the EFI partition. Download the firmware and copy it to the EFI partition. Boot the system to the EFI Shell and change directories to the EFI partition.
When you are ready, 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> To update all attached enclosures, use this command: saupdate UPDATE <seg:bus:dev:func> all_encl <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
