F/W update failure on AutoRAID

[Richard Munn]

I have tried to update the firmware in an AutoRAID model 12 from HP25 to HP27 but it fails as follows:

So you've found HP27 firmware... great!
Please check which IPR you have installed (swlist -l product), and please instead of using array's serial number try raw (rdsk) device file of primary controller (displayed in arraydsp -a)

You can try using DFDUTIL_VHP62-HP27.LIF
This for offline upgrade Autoraid FW.
