Need help updating firmware

When my HP DL360 G4 boots it displays a message telling me to update the firmware for the Smart Array 6i.  It shows v. 2.84 currently and displays model number BD0366459B

 

I have Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard Installed.

 

Can someone please describe precisely how to upgrade this firmware.  I tried the firmware maintenance CD+USB utility, but it does not seem to have worked.

 

Thank you for your time.

Re: Need help updating firmware

According to the web page this is already the latest, you maybe can check for disk firmware:

Hope this helps!

Awesome, so I did do it right!  I guess the message during the boot process just never goes away?

DISK (!!!) firmware!

Get the firmware and add it to your USB stick - then boot again from the USB key drive to update:

version B016D for
BD0186459A
BD018745A3
BD0366459B
BD036745A4
BD0726459C





Hope this helps!

Re: Need help updating firmware

Sorry man, I guess I did not realize that the individual drives HAD upgradeable firmware.  It still did not work though. :( The report included "WriteBuffer failed with return code 1035"

Re: Need help updating firmware

Can anyone tell me what this error means?  I can only find a couple of mentions of it in these forums and none of the cases had any resolution.  Is this drive doomed?
