Updating Expansion-Module Firmware - HP P2000 Reference Manual

Firmware update typically takes 10 minutes for a controller having current CPLD firmware, or 20
minutes for a controller having downlevel CPLD firmware. If the controller enclosure has attached drive
enclosures, allow additional time for each expansion module's enclosure management processor (EMP)
to be updated. This typically takes 2.5 minutes for each EMP in a P2000 drive enclosure or 3 minutes
for each EMP in an MSA2000 drive enclosure. EMPs in D2700 or MSA70 drive enclosures must be
updated separately.
When firmware update on the local controller is complete, users are automatically signed out and the
Management Controller will restart. Until the restart is complete, the SMU Sign In page will say that the
system is currently unavailable. When this message is cleared, you may sign in.
If PFU is enabled, allow 10–20 minutes for the partner controller to be updated.
6. Clear your web browser's cache, then sign in to SMU. If PFU is running on the controller you sign in to,
a dialog box shows PFU progress and prevents you from performing other tasks until PFU is complete.
NOTE:
and the health reason indicates that the firmware version is incorrect, verify that you specified the
correct firmware file and repeat the update. If the problem persists, contact technical support.

Updating expansion-module firmware

A drive enclosure can contain one or two expansion modules. Each expansion module contains an
enclosure management processor (EMP). All modules of the same model should run the same firmware
version.
You can update the firmware in each expansion module 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.
To update expansion-module firmware
1. Obtain the appropriate firmware file and download it to your computer or network.
2. If the storage system has a single controller or includes any MSA70 drive enclosures, stop I/O to vdisks
before starting the firmware update.
3. In the Configuration View panel, right-click the system and select Tools > Update Firmware. The table
titled Current Versions of All Expansion Modules (EMPs) shows the currently installed versions.
4. Select the expansion modules to update.
5. Click Browse and select the firmware file to install.
6. Click Install Expansion-Module Firmware File. Messages show firmware-update progress.
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.
It typically takes 4.5 minutes to update each EMP in a D2700 drive enclosure, 9 minutes to update
each EMP in an MSA70 drive enclosure, 2.5 minutes to update each EMP in a P2000 drive enclosure,
or 3 minutes to update each EMP in an MSA2000 drive enclosure. Wait for a message that the code
load has completed.
7. If you updated firmware in an MSA70 drive enclosure, power cycle that enclosure to complete the
update process.
8. Verify that each updated expansion module has the correct firmware version.

After firmware update has completed on both controllers, if the system health is Degraded
Do not perform a power cycle or controller restart during the firmware update. If the
