Hi,

After burn the CD then how to upgrade SAS firmware to version 1.23.42.00. with the cd.
Can u pls let me know the steps for that?
I will try those also.
I have already raised one hardware ticket for the same as i thought for hardware issue.

Load CD, boot the server to EFI Shell, you will see the fs0: prompt, and issue the command

cd \efi\hp\tools\io_cards\sas

If you can't change to this directory, change to different device by issuing the command

fs1:

If you can't find directory again, change to the next device.

After successfully changing directory, issue the command

sasflash -listall

and send me the output.

Hi,

I have downloaded the daigonistic tool as suggested by u from the site.Its name as IPF1012.Its in rar format.
Can u pls tell me the full steps for firmware upgradation like after sasflash -listall , what next command i need to fire.

Actually server is at different location and its far away from here. So its not possible to go there again & again.Thats why i am asking you complete steps and there is no internet connection as the server is in Data center.
Appreciating your reply.

In rar format?

Normally it is always a zipped ISO file.


Burn it to a CD or copy it to a USB thumb drive or use vMedia with the ISO, boot from this media and follow the steps written in the README.


Should be in

\EFI\HP\TOOLS\IO_CARDS\SmartArray

[shikhar_1]

Yes it is in WinRAR archive (.iso) format. I am writing it in a CD and will boot the server with this cd. Pls let me know the commands for the same.

Hi,

I have prepared the iso image cd for that.

Now i will boot with that cd and then efi shell then take to this directory
->EFI\HP\TOOLS\IO_CARDS\SmartArray
or EFI\HP\TOOLS\IO_CARDS\SAS

After that do we need to fire below command for sas upgradion:
saupdate.efi

Appreciaitng your response..

[Zygmunt Krawczyk]

I'm not sure which controller you have.
At the beginnig of the thread you wrote, that you have AD248A#130 (P400), and later you wrote, that you have AD248A#106 (internal RAID).

[shikhar_1]

Its having AD248A#130 (P400) for my rx2660 server.
pls tell for that

[Zygmunt Krawczyk]

After booting the server to the EFI shell, and changing directory to
\efi\hp\tools\io_cards\smartarray
do the following

Get the controller details using
saupdate list

If the firmware version is lower than 7.22, update the firmware using
saupdate update INC722.PAK

Restart the system using
reset

[shikhar_1]

How do i get this info that is in the command?

INC722.PAK
Do i get this info by this command "saupdate list"?
