A problem about upgrade firmware of MSA1500 !!

[fuqiang]

I was used serial port to upgrading the firmware of MSA1500,from 4.82 to 4.98.

When I use "download firmware offline" command ,CLI report as follow,"Serial (Xmodel) upgrade is not supported , HP internal used only",and I returned to CLI.

You can't use the serial port to flash the MSA1500 controllers.

Hi!

You must use any host with FC HBA to upgrade MSA1500. Use online (executable file) http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&swItem=co-22825-9 or offline (bootable cd-rom) http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&swItem=co-29405-4

The MSA1500 controller is same as the MSA1000, why can I not use serial port?

[Jefferson Humber]

You can't use the serial port on the MSA1000 to flash either.

The serial port simply provides access to the CLI for setup/monitoring of the controller.

I had upgraded the firmware of MSA1000 through the serial port(Xmodel) successfully.

Updating firmware on the MSA1x00 through the CLI is not supported.

if you want to update the firmware you need to use the flash util that can be downloaded from hp.com


Kind regards

ä» å¼º,
would you tell me how to upgrade the firmware on MSA1000 via serial port? which command, since i cannot find the "download"
command. thanks!

You can flash the MSA controller via the cli.

There are minimum MSA fw revs that allow FW flash via the cli,
MSA1500, 4.94
MSA1000, 4.38, I'm not sure if 4.32 allowed it.

I had used cli to upgrade MSA1000 firmware from 4.23 to 4.38 , The upgrade command is "download firmware offline"
