Firmware update for HPE MSA 2060 iSCSI controllers

[Vladimir90]

Good afternoon!
We have HP MSA 2060 iSCSI.
1. The sequence of application of the MSA 2060 firmware. Do I update immediately to the latest version or do I do it in stages, rolling out the firmware in a certain sequence?
2. Can I update alternately, first one controller, then the second? Will performance and fault tolerance be maintained at the same time? Or do you need to allocate an hour of time by stopping work with the device for maintenance and updating the firmware of both heads of the device during this hour?
3. Do I need to update the firmware from the web interface or through the update utility?
4. Do I/O operations need to be stopped when updating, or can I update while the storage is running?
5. Do I need to update the firmware on the disks or does it not affect the performance of the storage with the new firmware?

Hi

you can update from  the update utility or web interface it is 

the same. make sure controllers are PFU enabled.

download latest firmware from https://h41111.www4.hpe.com/storage/msafirmware.html 

you can update to latest version.

for controllers IO is not interrupted ( one controler at a time is updated) for disks HPE recommends to do off-line

but you can do that after controller update.

Regards

Give a KUO if this helps
