Smart Array 431 Controller - Firmware Update
I've searched the HP site for a bootable disk that will upgrade my controller to the latest firmware, but all I can find is an oddly named file which apparently you use in conjunction with the SmartStart CD to upgrade the firmware.
The current firmware level of the card is 1.02, Hardware Revision A. The latest appears to be 1.24.
I am trying to expand/migrate an array (as mentioned in a previous posting) but the Compaq ACU tells me I cannot perform the operation as the firmware needs to be updated.
I've downloaded the oddly named file, placed it on a floppy disk and tried using the ROMPAQ utility on my SmartStart 5.5 CD, but it says it cannot find and files on the disk.
Can anyone help?

Re: Smart Array 431 Controller - Firmware Update
I had a look on the SmartStart 5.5 CD, and found something in the DiskBuilder section, I was able to create a set of disks for upgrading Compaq Array controllers, which successfully updated my firmware from 1.02 to 1.22.. not the latest version but it seems to have 'unlocked' the expand array option in the Compaq ACU that was unavailable at the previous firmware level.

Re: Smart Array 431 Controller - Firmware Update
Problem is, the ML370 I am working on is an old one, when I tried to boot from the CD it stated it was not compatible and that I should use SmartStart 5.5

This kit contains a FW maintenance CD that you can use on any server. It will also work with the .scexe file located at the following:
