Firmware for Smart Array P400
Hi Guys,
Need your expert advice on this. We have an RX3600 running HPUX v11.31. 8xSAS disks are connected to a Smart Array P400 controller whose current firmware is v2.08.
On the HP support site, I found that there is an new firmware version which is 4.12. But reading through the README doc, it doesn't say that it supports HPUX v11.31. Taking a step back, firmware version 2.08 also does not say it supports 11.31 - but is currently installed and working.
Question is, can I go ahead and use this firmware to upgrade our current version?
Thanks!

Re: Firmware for Smart Array P400
If you look in the rx3600 quickspecks,
http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12595_div/12595_div.HTML
it is clearly stated that the P400 is one of the HP-UX supported options.
I am guessing the HP-UX is not mentioned under the P400 literature because the P400 is a PCIe card and PCIe was not available on the UNIX servers until the rx hardware started havind the dual bus backplane option.

Re: Firmware for Smart Array P400
