Firmware update for Autoarray 12h
We inserted 3 36Gb SCSI hard disk in this AutoArray, and when we want to asignate as a new LUN, it only recognises us 47Gb (instead of 72GB of assigned space).
Autoarray's firmware version is HP54, but I think it "sees" the 3 hard disks as 24Gb.
I read a document saying that firmware version should be at least HP54 to recognize correctly that kind of disks.
I tried to upgrade firmware version to last HP62, and downloaded file "ard_hp62-hp27.lif" (http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?locale=es_ES〈=English+%28US%29&pnameOID=19162&prodSeriesId=33733&prodTypeId=12169&basePartNum=co435&locBasepartNum=co435en&os=HP-UX+10.x&tech=Firmware)
I booted from the Support Plus cd, and using ARDIAG (off line diagnostic, EDO) tried to upload the firmware, but it ask me for a password (??).
How can I get a password to upload the .lif firmware file?
Is there any other way?
Thank you very much!

You don't need to use ardiag; instead use the download command. Man download for details. This is actually a very easy procedure but make sure that you read the release note. Note that PHCO_22100 is also required.

Re: Firmware update for Autoarray 12h
I look at the control panel and see the serial number, and then run:
"
download -C Model_12H_hp62.fw 0000000E0519
Copyright (C) 1995, 1997 Hewlett-Packard Company
Shutting Down. Shutting Down.. Shutting Down... Shutting Down.... (lots of them)
Too many attempts at changing the controller state.
Sending the controller a restart signal then aborting this program.
Initializing
Ready
AutoRAID firmware download program ending.
"
And it continues with firmware version HP54...
I also tried "download -Model_12H_hp62.fw /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0", and it says the same.
Any suggestion?
Many thanks.

Re: Firmware update for Autoarray 12h
It seems that the Autoarrays saves some of this capacity to increase redundancy and improve performance...
If we would disable ActivSpare I think we would get 72Gb available, but we would let it as it by now... some capacity sacrificed to improve performance and security :)
Thank you very much for your time and support!!
