RX2620 U320 SCSI firmware upgrade problem
Trying to upgrade the firmware on Ultra320 SCSI Controller from version 1.03.35.65 to 1.03.35.69, using the EFI pscsi command produces "Skipping Controller seq:00 Bus:20 Dev:01 since a flash part is not present".
I need to do this upgrade in order to upgrade to HP-UX v3.

Re: RX2620 U320 SCSI firmware upgrade problem
if hp-ux is currently installed, use "mputil":
http://www.docs.hp.com/en/J6373-90023/ch04s05.html
If there is no OS, use the
HP IPF Offline Diagnostics and Utilities CD
from http://software.hp.com

The firmware applies to HP A7173A
and the HP AB290A U320 SCSI controllers.
See the readme file too.
Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Re: RX2620 U320 SCSI firmware upgrade problem
Looking at the mputil output, EFI Driver Version 1.04.02.00 is currently installed on the HBA and VPD data is not on the card (I think VPD should be on the card). I do suspect that pscsi can't identify the card as there is no VPD on the card or a problem with pscsi version you are using.
I would suggest to download the latest EFI driver 1.05.02.00 and SCSI firmware 1.03.35.69 from this link http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=331470&prodTypeId=329290&prodSeriesId=331468&swLang=13&taskId=135&swEnvOID=54
in a common directory and use the latest pscsi version 1.02.03.00 ( This is available with EFI driver download )to install the firmware.
As mentioned in the pscsi.txt file, the recommended way of firmware upgrade is using offline CDROM procedure. Remember EFI driver upgrade can only be done offline.

http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=IPF0706
or this
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=15351&prodSeriesId=447331&prodNameId=441910&swEnvOID=1060&swLang=13&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=is-38986-7
The SmartSetup CD contains a offline firmware update manager too.
Hope this helps!

Re: RX2620 U320 SCSI firmware upgrade problem
IPF0706 CD and the offline upgrade method does not work. In short, online or offline, I don't get a line that I can select and say "upgrade"...
"mptutil /dev/mpt2" produces the following..
---- FIRMWARE INFORMATION ----------------------------------------------------
SCSI Firmware Version : 1.03.35.65 IO
SCSI Firmware Version (Hex) : 1.03.23.41 IO
SCSI Firmware Size : 39968
EFI Driver Version : 1.04.02.00
---- V P D I N F O R M A T I O N -------------------------------------------
No VPD data on card.
This may be a sill question but: Can this controller be embedded on the main board and "not upgradeable" ?
Thanks..

It looks like, since there is a no flash component on embedded scsi controller, it's firmware can't be upgraded using mputil or pscsi.
Now coming back to using msv2v3check utility, it would intersting to put this case to HP Support and see what they say. I would think if the server is at latest firmware level, you can still able to install HP-UX 11.31
