Would have been useful to know which firmware you're trying to install. 

Anyway, if you look in the revision history for HPDB firmware you'll see that you need an HP Smart Array controller to do the online upgrade.

 

You could try to put the linux supplemental update on the SPP and boot your machine on it. I don't know if that will work on a non-HP machine though it could be worth a try.
