ProLiant DL320e Gen8 v2 > B120i RAM Firmware Downgrade
Hi everybody,
This is my first step in the forum so please be sympathic with me if I miss something.
So here is my big deal :
I've collected a few of olds ProLiant DL320e Gen8 v2 which are running fine, but a couple of them drives me insane with the B120i Smart Array Controller. They are not able to check the state of non-genuine HP hard drive. First, I get a warning message in POST, then I can see the system critical led turn in orange (in the front of the server) and once into HP SSA, I get the red banned sign on each hard drive.
When running a ADU Report to compare with functionnal DL320e's, I found differents B120i RAM Firmware versions. All of them working up to 4.10 are okay, and those which run beyond 4.50 doesn't work properly.
Here is my question : How can I downgrade B120i RAM Firmware up to v4.10, in order to make them working fine ?
Thanks a lot !
Niko.

Hi PikS78
You can make downgrade the firmware version, of smart array B120, by Service Pack for Proliant.
But you need of the firmware file.
In Site - https://www.hpe.com/global/swpublishing/MTX-8ce1db713ea84123a731f02ef2#tab-history
I can't found this firmware version.

Re: ProLiant DL320e Gen8 v2 > B120i RAM Firmware Downgrade
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunatly, those olds DL320e are no longer linked to any warranty or suppport. I can't unlock the hyperlink to acceed previous SPPs :/
Do you know if there any other way to find --at least-- the B120i firmware, without SPP huge package, and no more warranty conditions from HP ?
Helpers welcome, thanks a lot !

Re: ProLiant DL320e Gen8 v2 > B120i RAM Firmware Downgrade
There is no "standalone" firmware for this controller.
A part is delivered with the BIOS, the pther part comes from the driver.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.
