ML370 and SmartArray 641 firmware update problem

Juancho — Tue, 31 Jan 2006 09:29:02 GMT

I updated ML370 and SmartArray 641 firmwares, but now, while initializating SmartArray on start-up, a warning message is shown suggesting to update the firmware to minimum version HPB5.

The smartarray firmware I installed is "Online ROM Flash Component for Windows - Smart Array 641/642 - version 2.58 A (7 Oct 05)"

Any ideas?

What i think to be specific.

Error is refering to HDD firmware.

So, Upgrade the firmware of HDd that will do.

Warning message talks about SCSI drives firmware update and not about SmartArray firmware. Very often after SmartArray firmware update you will see message with suggestions for SCSI drives firmware update.
See KOV answer about how to update SCSI drives firmware.
