How to upgrade array controller firmware DL360 G6

[RWilson]

Hello,
I wonder if someone can advise how I upgrade the P400i array controller firmware from 2.50 to 2.74 on a G6?
The snag is the server has no o/s on it so I need to do this from the cd of via a usb key?

I am unclear if this is possible or how you do it without a o/s on the server.

Thank in advance
Richard

Download the HP firmware maintenace cdrom.
I't bootable and can upgrade all firmwares in your server.

Thanks Wobb,
I'd down loaded this CD recently but been disapointed to see it was out of date despite being the latest one at the time(version 8.60).
I hadn't noticed that a new one had come out on 22nd Jan.
I'll download that and it will make my Monday much easier - thanks!

Just out of interest is there a way to upgrade the firmware without an O/S on the server if this new CD wasn't availible?

Thanks Again!!!
Richard

You can probably convert the cdrom into a bootable USB. You could try unetbootin, but I believe HP has also some tools/procedures to do this.
