Hp 6g BL Sas switch can't see MDS600

[drolfe]

HI,

On the 3 gig sas swtiches the "upgrade storage enclosure firmware" is only visable under the maintain tab (when selecting the sas switch) if all your blade servers are powered off. You also need to be on the active or non-redundant switch for it to be displayed.

Since this was something that confused the hell out of HP customers they changed the 6 gig switches to always show the option but have is greyed out if all the requirments weren't met, like power down the blades etc..

Regards, Daniel

HI All,

After the new modules were added to the SSA70 it's now looks to be working as per the attached images.

This was my testing my my 3g sas switch.

I'll post another update on how things are now going on the 6g sas switches.

Regards, Daniel

Mines looking the same, upgraded the firmware without issue once i got the blades turned off... the only issue i have left is that I can see the  SATA drive sizes via my p700m Controller, but not SAS drive sizes, just shows a size of 0. They are in different shelves...

 Update. No luck on the SAS drives, and i put in a 4tb hitachi in the same shelf, but it only shows up as a 2199gb drive...

I also have a D2700 hooked up and it doesnt see any of those drives...

Tomas,

Have you upgrade the p700m firmware to the latest ?
