You need to connect a console to the VA7110 and check what state it is in. In the worst case scenario, your FW upgrade did not complete and your controller can not boot up. You would need HP to flash a new fw in it.

Thanks for your reply.
But after my 2nd time failure, I reboot the VA7110, then tried the A130 fw, but still failed, and now it works normally with version A120.
