Disk Firmware Update L1000

[Mynor Aguilar]

I'm trying to perform a firmware update to all disks on a HP 9000 L1000 server, it has Hp-ux 11.11. I heard something about a tape to create the update but i'm trying to find a easier way to do it since i dont an available tape unit.

I think HP engineers may have CDs which can be used for some firmware update operations, but I'm not sure about disk firmware updates.

Nevertheless, those CDs are available for HP engineers only.

If you don't have a tape drive available and the server has a support contract, contacting HP might be the best way to solve this problem.

post an output of # ioscan -fnCdisk

You can find the diskfirmware updates on.

This is the complete output for the ioscan command and also a diskinfo of every disk (see attachment).
I've tried to find some kind of firmware update for these kind of disks but I haven't found anything on ITRC.
thanks for all your help
