Re: How to update firmware on HDD in MSA1000
The SAN-port does not go active during the firmware update process, and it seems like the disks are not updated either.
maybe this instruction does not apply to SAN-attached MSA1000?

SolutionI've used 7.40 and heard 7.20 firmware maintenance cd works as well.
pointer to 7.40 firmware maintenance
http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/storage/us/download/24819.html
Find out what types of disks you have and download the cpxxxxxx.scexe and save as target onto a floppy
Boot firmware maintenance cd
Goto to supplements and load disk fw from floppy
Go back to main screen and rescan you should see the disks. Upgrade the disks, after upgrade power down/up the msa
Always have a full backup before upgrading fw.

Re: How to update firmware on HDD in MSA1000
have you done this update yourself?
Did you retain your HDD data and RAID-info operative after upgrade of HDD?

Re: How to update firmware on HDD in MSA1000
If I boot the firmware update CD the firmware update manager sees the two local SCSI drives but it refuses to see any of the drives on the MSA1000.
I have verified that the firmware update CD contains updated firmware for several of the drives in the MSA1000.
The MSA1000 is running V7.00 firmware, it has two controllers running active/active. I tried disabling one of the controllers to see if that helped - but it didn't
Any advice on what I could try next?

"Don't use 7.50 fw cd, it doesn't reconize some HBA's.
I've used 7.40 and heard 7.20 firmware maintenance cd works as well.
"
I have used 7.20 and 7.40 to work around this problem.

Re: How to update firmware on HDD in MSA1000
There is a new Smart Start CD comming out 7.80 in the next week or two that should have most if not all HBA drivers loaded.
What kind of HBA do you have?

Re: How to update firmware on HDD in MSA1000
Yes, I tried the suggestions from Ray B, but it didn't help. I have verified that the FW update utility has updated firmware for the disks in the MSA1000 but it appears the firmware update utility can't see the MSA1000
The host adapter is a QLogic QLA2340 - it's listed as one of the supported ones for doing disk firmware updates on MSA1000
7.60 was the only version of the CD I could find for download, I'll watch for the 7.80 version in the next few weeks and see if it's any better.
Thanks to all for your suggestions.
