Help with Smart Array P410 specs and update?

[mgstauff]

Hi,

I've got a Proliant Dl160 G6 with a Smart Array P410 controller.

I'm wondering, and haven't found clear information online:

1) How do I find the current firmware version of this controller, and how do I update it if needed?

I see these options:

http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdHome/?sp4ts.oid=4017895&spf_p.tpst=swdMain&spf_p.prp_swdMain=wsrp-navigationalState%3DswEnvOID%253D4103%257CswLang%253D%257Caction%253DlistDriver&javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken#Firmware - Storage Controller

But am not sure if the only one that applies to me is the 5.14 1/16/2012 update.

2) What's the max capacity of the controller per drive? From an older spec sheet it looks like 3TB, but I'm hoping with new firware or otherwise I could use 4TB drives. 

Below is output from 'lspci -vvv' regarding the controller. Thanks for any help!

Sorry, it's CentOS 6.4

hpacucli-8.70-8.0.noarch.rpm

quickest way to see what the current firmware version is on the P410, cat /proc/scsi/scsi

You can also look in dmesg and see the firmware level and driver version when hpsa loads

Thanks, am just able to get back to this issue.

I've installed hpacucli and got the installed firmware version:

   Firmware Version: 3.66

Can't figure out if this is the latest firmware or not. This link,near bottom, shows the current Firmware for Storage Controller as 3.30.  I see 3.66 from hpacucli (and 'cat /proc/scsi/scsi'), so I must be looking in the wrong spot. Any thoughts?

I've installed the current 3.4.4-125  drivers from here:
