Problem updating HBA firmware

[MIchael O'Connor_5]

Hi all,
I'm trying to upgrade the HBA firmware on a number of servers with the following command....

./hbacmd download 10:00:00:00:c9:99:73:e6 /tmp/lpe1150_wf282a4.all

I've tried it on several machines and get the same error. I tried downloading the package again incase it was corrupted, but the same thing happens.

ERROR: <194>: Incompatible Image

Has anyone seen this before or know a way around it? I'm well and truly stumped.

thanks.

Shalom,

On the looks of it, it would appear you have downloaded the wrong software. I'd check the basic process that led you here.

It would however be helpful to know what Linux distro is being used, the HBA and server type, and details such as that. This information might enable people on the forum to check your work.

Most likely the firmware file downloaded is not for the type of hardware(HBA) you have. What is the model/vendor of the HBA you are using?

[John Guster]

maybe try lunch GUI to upgrade the firmware by execute /usr/sbin/hbanyware/ocmanager after downloaded the correct fimware file.

Some more info I installed the fibrechannel enablement kit, and then installed the drivers from the link below, I think this could be the root of my problems.

I was being a massive numpty and trying to install the incorrect hp-lpfc driver.

This one worked in the end.
