HP Proliant DL380 G5 update firmware for component: dg072abab3

[cdtaylor3]

Hi,

Wondering if anyone can help.  I have said server and recently we inserted a new hard-drive: DG072ABAB3 HP 72GB 2.5".

At the POST screen there is a message requesting that we upgrade the firmware for this component.  We are running VMWare ESXi 5.0 and ideally we need to do this offline.   I have had a look in the HP support sites, but seem to just get a series of circular links/expired links or only online updates - which are not possibly via Esx host (correct me if I am wrong).

I'd really appreciate it if someone could please outline the correct procedure that I need to follow?  

Cheers,

Chris.

hi,

You can use the SPP to perform the offline update.

Download the Firmware below, mount the iso through ilo (or burn it)  boot from it, it should have a manual or auto process and you're done. If you're using esxi I would suggest you use the HP tunned image.

Thank you very much both for answering!  I'll give it a go either today or tomorrow and let you know how I get on.
