The firmware of Smart Array E200 controller can downloaded from the following link:

 

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?prodNameId=3182559&lang=en&cc=us&taskId=135&prodTypeId=329290&prodSeriesId=1157688

 

Choose the operating system and in the resultant window, click hyperlink Firmware - Storage Controller to obtain it.

Hello Tomas,

 

You may download the latest firmware for HP Smart Array E200 form below link.

 

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=uk&prodTypeId=329290&prodSeriesId=1157688&prodNameId=3182559&swEnvOID=1005&swLang=8&taskId=135&swItem=MTX-04d35990774a4aa99e986c3080&mode=3

 

However, E200 controller will support only greater than 2TB in a single logical drive.

 

Given the increasing need for high performance and rapid capacity expansion, the Smart arrayE200 offers:

 

Up to 6TB of total storage with 6 x 1TB SATA MDL hard drives (3.5")

Up to 2.4TB of total storage with 8 x 300GB SFF SAS hard drives

 

NOTE: Support for greater than 2TB in a single logical drive.

 

Follow the below link to refer the quick specs of E200 controller for same information.

http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12460_na/12460_na.pdf

 

Hence you will need to configure the drives in single logical drive as per the drive model.

I hope the info will help you.

 

Regards,

 

Renji V

Well "HP_Service_Pack_for_Proliant_2013.02.0-0_725490-001_spp_2013.02.0-SPP2013020.2013_0204.107" contains 1.86 (B) version of firmware. You can view it in contents.html file on SPP dvd.

And the latest version of firmware is 1.86 (C) as shown here. You can download a new version here.

Try to update to 1.86 (C).

okRe: HP DL180 G5 + E200 firmware upgrade

ok I proceed, but in the installation istruction:

 

To use HP Smart Update Manager from the HP Service Pack for ProLiant :

  • Place the desired firmware to be updated in the directory, \SPP20xxxxx\hp\swpackages
  • Locate Start.html which is found in the root of the ISO
  • Open the html file in a supported browser
  • Follow the instructions on the screen

 

I have to create the usb bootable and copy the firmware inside?

I've reviewed the spp contents.html file one more time and found out - it contains two versions of firmware for E200 ( 1.86 (B) for linux and 1.86 (C) for windows ). Please can you tell wich of them is currently shown on your controller?

 

P.S. You can create bootable USB with a help of HP USB Key utility.

Just download it, run and point to USB drive and SPP iso.
