ssd firmware does not update

joseph pareti — Wed, 29 Apr 2015 13:52:22 GMT

We’re currently testing SSD 2.5” disks from HP. Both are 1.6TB, one is SAS, one is SATA
Products:
762263-B21 and 757339-B21

firmware was downloaded from http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=7597616&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4168

however it fails to upgrade, any idea?

Update not attempted. All selected devices are either up-to-date or have newer versions installed.

But when I check one of the SAS drives I see:

So, this did not upgrade the HPD0 firmware.

Online firmware flashing of drives attached to an HP Smart Array controller running in Zero Memory (ZM) mode or an HP ProLiant host bus adapter (HBA) is NOT supported

do you have cache installed ?

can you try offline update (via SPP 04.2015) ?

It would appear the model number of your drive doesn't match one of the models this firmware update supports
