HPE Drive Firmware Flashing

[Daveraver]

Hi All,

I am trying to flash an HPE Enterprise Drive ST0000NM0033 from SN03 to SN06, any advice would be much appreciated as I have been pulling my hair out with this.

I cannot get any of the flash programs to work and need help please, i can get the drive to ID on both Seatools and also on HPE SSA Offline software.

regards Dave

That drive model number does not look correct to me -- I would have expected the numbers following the "ST" (that represent the drive's capacity) to be something other than all zeroes, ie: ST1000NM0033, ST2000NM0033, ST4000NM0033, etc.

Also, what kind of system/controller are you using to update the firmware?

Hello

Please let us know this drive install in which HPE product.

Because I did not find drive “ST0000NM0033” product information.

What type of server or storage system is the drive currently installed in? From what I can tell, the ST1000NM0033 with non-"HPxx" firmware is an MSA drive. What is the spares part number listed on the drive?

Hello,

Hi There,

I have been using various servers to try and get this firmware flashed and still cannot get my head around something that should be simple.

Atm i have DL580 G5 and using an extension cable from Sas to Sata. I have also tried running it in my cabinet which is running a ML370 G5 and using the supplied Fibre Hot Plug Adaptor and still no joy.

If I can find a procedure to allow me to do this I can follow that and that woudl help a lot

Best regards david

Hello,

I would suggest, you have to log a proper case with HPE, and share the appropriate logs for further analysis.
