DL360 G5: hpaducli: Firmware update not recognized

[Philipp Sacha]

Hi all,

i have upgraded the firmware for a smart array controller (P400i) in a DL360 G5 to the latest version (5.20).

After checking the controller with hpaducli it still complains:
"Controller firmware requires an upgrade. Please upgrade firmware using a ROM Flash Component available on hp.com".

V5.20 was the newest version that i could find at hp.com. So my questions are:

- is there a newer version available?

- how does hpaducli determine what actual firmware is available?

Regards,

Philipp

5.20 is the latest, update also the adu

Ok, first question answered, lets go to number 2. Why does hpaducli complains about a firmware upgrade even though tne newest firmware is already installed?

hi

ADU, ACU, hpaducli all of them get that information from NVRAM in the controller that ROM contains firmware level, raid LEVEL and so on

juan told you to update ADU - ACU - hpaducli since maybe the version you have is not reading NVRAM as it should

by the way is that linux?

I am running Debian etch and have installed the latest official supported hpadu version which is 7.80.
