https://community.hpe.com/t5/xp-storage/microcode-update-failed-on-xp512/m-p/3013367#M807 We have a XP512 running microcode 01.17.78. <BR />We started with the microcode upgrade. During microcode update get a message that the firmware level was incompatible. <BR /><BR />There is a firmware mismatch on CHA-1P and CHA-2V. These boards (2GB fibre channel)are on<BR /> revision level 01.50.00 instead of 01.17.78.<BR /> <BR />Thuesday 24/6: HP Started first with a dummy replacement from CHA-1P after contact with XP-TAC. But the Board blocked complete instead of flashing the right microcode. Tried dummy replace again, but same result.<BR />Contacted TAC and the solution is to replace it with a new board.<BR />Microcode flash is going ok, level 01.17.78 is now on CHA-1P.<BR /><BR />Wednesday 25/6: HP Started with the dummy replacement from CHA-2V. This also failed. So replaced it with the the new board, but instead of flashing the microcode it blocked again.<BR /><BR />HP Ordered a new PCB and replaced CHA-2V again with this board, but still the same.<BR /><BR />Has anyone a idee of whats going on here.<BR />HP is still pin-pointing the problem but they can't solve it...<BR /><BR />Rene Wed, 02 Jul 2003 11:34:54 GMT Rene Sesink 2003-07-02T11:34:54Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/xp-storage/microcode-update-failed-on-xp512/m-p/3013367#M807 We have a XP512 running microcode 01.17.78. <BR />We started with the microcode upgrade.

Microcode upgrade is usually from low to higher version.<BR /><BR />2. Before upgrading Microcode, you must check the Microcode version on XP512 in both Flash and Local Memory. Also, check the mode (161 ON/OFF) of XP512.<BR /><BR />3. How did the 2G boards were added to XP512? Who did the installation? The post installation tasks include the check of Microcode!!!<BR /><BR />4. I suggest that you UNINSTALL 2G board, check the XP512 status and then install the latest Microcode. After doing the above, then INSTALL the 2G board.<BR /><BR />5. You can also try MP Install for installing MICROCODE for a particular processor(s).<BR /><BR />6. If all failes, please take a dump and send it to support centre.<BR /><BR />Please check and review the above steps with support personal before implementing.<BR /> Mon, 07 Jul 2003 01:24:34 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/xp-storage/microcode-update-failed-on-xp512/m-p/3013368#M808 Antoni Jude 2003-07-07T01:24:34Z
