Re: MSA Best Practices: Upgrading Controller Firmware
Want help to upgrade the firmware on your HPE MSA Storage? To improve your MSA availability, learn about the best practice for updating MSA Controller Firmware. I have included a video module detailing the MSA controller firmware best practice.
I am happy to announce the first part of the MSA Best Practices video trilogy. Part #1 is on the subject of MSA Controller Firmware updates.
In HPE MSA Storage there are three main firmware components that can be customer self-upgraded: controller firmware, expansion I/O module firmware and drive firmware. Part #1 covers the MSA best practice for updating controller firmware. The part #1 video explains:
- How to determine if your MSA needs a controller firmware update
- Where to obtain the latest MSA controller firmware
- The recommended steps to flash your MSA controller
As a simple best practice, it is recommended to use either the Linux or Windows Smart Component to perform the controller firmware upgrade. In a dual controller configuration, this update can be performed while the MSA is online.
Remember to maximize your MSA availability it is important to keep the controller firmware up-to-date. So without further ado, let's take a look at the video:
Stay tuned for Part #2 when we will cover MSA Expansion I/O Module firmware updates. In the meantime please visit www.hpe.com/storage/MSAFirmware for the latest MSA firmware.
