Disk firmware upgarde failure

AYMA — Wed, 15 Jun 2005 02:45:05 GMT

Hello,
I need to upgrade from HP03 to HP05 firmware of not used ST318406LC disks in a DS2100 :
:/var/tmp) diskinfo -v /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0
SCSI describe of /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0:
vendor: HP 18.2G
product id: ST318406LC
type: direct access
size: 17783240 Kbytes
bytes per sector: 512
rev level: HP03
blocks per disk: 35566480
ISO version: 0
ECMA version: 0
ANSI version: 2
removable media: no
response format: 2

The station is an B2600 in HP-UX 11.11. I use STM in 43.25 version.
I have downloaded the PF_D36ESHP05.frm from the itrc.hp.com site and I have put the
PF_D36ESHP05.frm file in /var/tmp directory. The checksum is good :

:/var/tmp) cksum PF_D36ESHP05.frm
4051632651 3349504 PF_D36ESHP05.frm

When I try to upgrade the firmware, STM has this problem :
====================
Current Firmware revision: HP03
Firmware update instructions:
1. Select the file containing the device firmware.
2. Start the firmware update.
Firmware update file information:

Firmware File Selected: /var/tmp/PF_D36ESHP05.frm
Firmware Revision: <----- PROBLEM
Firmware Size: 3348416
Selecting the firmware update file was SUCCESSFUL.

and after :
Firmware Update Tool for device SCSI Disk on path 10/1/2/0.0.0.

The firmware file /var/tmp/PF_D36ESHP05.frm is corrupt and cannot be used to update the device.
Obtain an uncorrupted version of the file and try the update operation again.

I not understand because the cksum is good.
I have tried with the latest STM version and the problem occurs again.
Any ideas ?

Thinks for your help
Best regards

Where you obtained the HP05 disk firmware ?

The error clearly indicates the Firmware corruption . Try to obtain the good one .

FTP the file in BIN mode not in ASCII mode for FTP method.

Seems to be correct methods which you are following for the disk firmware upgradation .

Best of luck

Thanks for your response
But it's not a BIN or ASCII mode or FTP/HTTP donwload (I have tried all solutions). If there is a download corruption, the cksum of the PF_D36ESHP05.frm will not be good. But the cksum is the same like in documentation....

Hi"
Were you able to upgrade the firmware? I've experienced the same "corrupt file" but the checksum is OK to...
