P420i firmware 8.0: could not be authenticated as a genuine HP drive!

P420i firmware 8.0: could not be authenticated as a genuine HP drive!

Goodmorning,

We just upgraded all our DL380p Gen8 (Smart Array P420i) with the latest SPP. (10-2016)
The P420i now has firmware version 8.0, and the disks (HP EG0600FBDSR) have firmware HPD6.

Now, all the LEDs on the disk are off, and the SSA reports this error on all disks:
Not Authenticated: This drive could not be authenticated as a genuine HP drive. The Smart Array controller will not control the LEDs to this drive.

How can we fix this?

You could check if the backplane SAS expander firmware is up to date:

You should see this from ILO - storage page.


Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

No, there is no SAS Expander Card in our version of the DL380 Gen8. When I manually try to install the latest firmware for the SAS Expander, I get: The software will not be installed on this system because the required hardware is not present in the system or the software/firmware doesn't apply to this system.

just to check.

gen8 has the expander on the backplane, no card, by the way.

Hope this helps!

The SAS Expander is only used in server models with 25 SFF Slots, right?

We don't have this type of backplane either. Anyways - updating offline with the newest SPP should also update the expander firmware.

Make sure you have HP trays and not some ebay china knockoffs

Seriously, are we the only company in the world with these problems?

We have almost 30 disks without LED indication at the moment.

Hello,

 

We have same problem. But half are authenticated, and half not, on the the SAS expander.

All drives are same.


We upgraded a ML310 too, and now the drives are see as not authenticated.

 

I think having a bug inside this new firmware.

 

I go try to roll back to 7.02(B).

 

We got same problem after upgrading us controller's with firmware 8.0
