| |
| Install this Firmware update ONLY on models listed below. |
| DO NOT attempt to install this Firmware update on L3000 or any |
| other system model as this will render that system inoperable. |
| |
| This patch is a Firmware update for the following systems ONLY: |
| HP9000 Model L1000A & L2000A |
| HP9000 Model L1000B & L2000B |
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This patch is a Firmware update for the HP9000 Model L1000 & L2000
systems.
The following features, fixes and enhancements appear in
server firmware revision 41.39:
- Earlier versions of PDC prevented online diagnostics
for reading PIM data. PDC revision 41.39 corrects this
problem.
- previous versions of PDC were unable to dump using the XL2 2Gb Fibre
Channel HBA on all platforms, unable to dump to disks on Point to
Point Fabric with McData switches and unable to boot/dump with Brocade
3800 2GB Switches with A6795A cards installed. PDC revision 41.39 fixes
these issues.
- Added support for PCI-PCI Bridge boot/swap/dump.
- Added support for Ultra 160 SCSI boot/swap/dump.
- Added FRU location to FRU id values.
- HPMC chassis codes reported an incorrect PDC base
address. When the chassis code is sent for HPMC MONARCH
SELECTED it will now report the full 64-bit address.
- Changed IODC to allow DDS4 tape drives to operate in LVD
mode on the A5149A SCSI Card.
- Improved single memory error handling.
PF_CRHW4138:
Upon releasing the L1000 and L2000 revision B models, the factory rolled
from shipping server firmware revision 40.26 to 40.48 on 12/15/00.
Systems that shipped with 40.48 are identified by serial numbers
xxx4050xxx and later.
The following features, fixes and enhancements appear in server firmware
revision 41.38:
- 1GB DIMMs have been produced with 2 different refresh rates, both types
are usable in L-Class and N-Class servers however, the newer DIMMs
that have a faster refresh rate could not be used in the same DIMM pair
as the older DIMMs. PDC 41.38 allows the DIMMs to mixed in the same
DIMM pair.
- Added support for 2GB FC boot.
- Enabled slot 3 for internal RAID.
- Added support for internal RAID.
- Added support for PCI-PCI Bridge boot.
- Added support for Ultra 160 SCSI boot.
- Added 'SCROLL' command to BCH Service Menu.
- Added FRU location to FRU id values.
- An issue has been identified with the OLAR functionality on L-Class
servers running HPUX 11.11 PDC revision 41.38 corrects the issue.
PF_CRHW4048:
The following features, fixes and enhancements appear in server firmware
revision 40.48:
1. Provide support for L1000 and L2000 revision B models(L1000B & L2000B)
2. Provide OLA/R support
3. PDC did not report overtemperature warning to HP-UX
4. GSP 'ps' command shows 1220W for power supply
5. Graphics board shows up as 'unknown' in PDC "in io" command
6. PDC 'in io' identifies RAID card inappropriately
7. PDC revision now appears in HPMC tombstones
8. Hitting 'break' key on ASCII terminal while at PDC causes IODC error
9. PDC 'ser pn' only displays first 5 digits of current product number value
10. Increase the list of FRU_ID values recognized by PDC
11. PDC call PDC_PAT_COMPLET subfun 6 (get cabinet info) fails repeatedly
with -3
12. PDC must not be case sensative to FRU_ID values.
Detailed Explanation:
1. Self explanatory
2. L1000 and L2000 revision A models require PDC 40.48 and HP-UX 11i to
enable the high availability OLA/R feature. OLA/R stands for OnLine
Addition Removal and Replacement of PCI cards.
3. Partial implementation of this fix appeared in PDC 40.14. When an overtemp
shutdown occurred, PDC notified HP-UX so it could perform an orderly
shutdown. However, an overtemp chassis log was not created. With PDC
40.48, a chassis log is created.
4. GSP 'ps' command reported the 930W L-Class power supplies as "1220W". Fix
is to report L-Class power supplies as "Type 0".
5. A6150-60001 L-Class 2-D Graphics board reported as 'unknown' in PDC "in
io" command. Fix is to report as TBD.
6. Several PCI cards were not listed int the PCI current lookup table and
appeared as unknown when using the BCH command in io. Added new PCI cards
to the lookup table.
7. The firmware revision did not appear in tombstone printouts, added PDC
rev in the tombstone output.
8. At PDC main menu, pressing the Break key on the web console or power
cycling the console caused an unrecoverable IODC error. The PDC error
handling routines were changed to properly handle these occurances.
9. When the BCH command ser pn was executed only the first 5 characters of
the product were displayed. Changed the ser pn command to display 6
characters.
10. PDC 40.19 did not recognise FRU ID's of newer revisions of replacement
parts. PDC 40.48 now correctly identifies all of the newer revisions of
replacement parts.
11. The PDC subroutine PDC_PAT_COMPLET subfun 6 did not poll the power monitor
or other PDH hardware properly this caused EMS to report errors. PDC
40.48 firmware correctly poll all PDH hardware so EMS will report correct
status.
12. When installing new system boards with a5191-67001 in the PART NUMBER
field of the FRU_ID the model string changes from 9000/800/Lx00-44 to
9000/800/Lx00-36. Changed PDC 40.48 to be insensitive to the case of
PART NUMBER entries.
PF_CRHW4026:
The following issue has been addressed and corrected with server firmware
40.26:
1. Server firmware revision 40.19 only recognizes A5191-60001 as a valid part
number entry within FRU_ID of the system board. Any other value causes the
following symptoms common to 360MHz and 440MHz CPUS:
- Each CPU reports a 17D0 system alert during selftest.
17D0 indicates an "INVALID_SYS_BOARD_PART_NUM".
- The following server firmware warning is generated:
WARNING: Invalid processor clock chip setting.
The following symptoms are unique to servers with 440MHz CPUs installed:
- Server firmware identifies 440MHz CPUs as 360MHz CPUs.
- The server model string will change from 9000/800/Lx000-44 to
9000/800/Lx000-36 (where x = 1 or 2).
NOTE: The server hardware is actually running 440MHz.
- The HP-UX clock gains approximately 15 minutes/hour.
2. An HPMC may occur as a result of performing a TOC (Transfer Of Control).
PF_CRHW4019:
The factory rolled from shipping server firmware revision 39.46 to 40.14 on
4/5/00. Server firmware revision 40.14 was not released as a firmware patch.
That effort was underway when a shutdown problem was discovered. Systems that
shipped with 40.14 are identified by serial numbers xxx4014xxx through
xxx4018xxx.
The factory rolled from shipping server firmware revision 40.14 to 40.19 on
5/8/00. Systems that shipped with 40.19 are identified by serial numbers
xxx4019xxx and later.
The following features, fixes and enhancements appear in server firmware
revision 40.14:
1. Increase maximum memory size for L1000 from 4GB to 8GB
2. Support 1GB DIMM (A6115A - 2GB memory module)
3. Server firmware did not report overtemperature warning to HP-UX
4. Server firmware recognizes only the abbreviated version of some commands
5. New chassis code for invalid system board FRU_ID part number
6. Hardware paths for devices below a PCI-to-PCI bridge are displayed
incorrectly
7. "Firmware Version" displays single digit week (i.e. 40.6 rather than 40.06)
8. Server firmware does not display help text for some commands
9. Change alert level for fatal (fails selftest/prevents boot) DIMM loading
alert from 8 to 15
10. Change alert level for deconfigured CPUs from 6 to 2 & change problem
detail from 3 to 8 (for Instant Capacity On Demand)
11. New version of PCI bus adapter is fully supported.
12. The firmware Low Priority Machine Check (LPMC) handler has been modified to
properly manage a LPMC as to not cause an HPMC in systems running with
multiple processors.
The following issue has been addressed and corrected with server firmware 40.19:
1. Systems with server firmware revision 40.14 may experience a system panic or
system hang in response to the HP-UX command "shutdown -h" .
PF_CRHW3946:
Firmware revision 39.46 adds the following:
Features/Enhancements
1) Provides support for L1000 servers
2) Server firmware command "in pr" now displays model string
Fixes
1) Memory Page Deallocation Table (PDT) can be incorrectly reported as full
2) Console can be changed to invalid path without recovery possible
3) Server firmware command "in all" from does not include "in cr" data
4) Fatal loading order of memory DIMMs causes HPMC during selftest
5) HPMC upon boot from A5506A or A5150A following server firmware "search"
6) PDC_SYSTEM_INFO stack overflow may cause HPMC
7) Changing processor model or speed may not update model string
Explanation of Features/Enhancements
1) HP 9000 L1000 servers were released 10/99. These servers were released
with server firmware revision 39.46.
2) Beginning with revision 39.46, the server firmware command "in pr" now
displays the model string (IE: 9000/800/L2000-36) in addition to
processor related information.
Explanation of Fixes
1) In some cases, a faulty CPU may also generate a server firmware WARNING
that the Page Deallocation Table (PDT) is full. However, typing the
'in me' command shows the PDT is not full. Server firmware revision 39.46
solves this problem.
2) The console can be redirected via the server firmware 'path' to a non-
existent device path. Upon the next system reset, it will not be possible
to interact with the server firmware main menu. Server firmware revision
39.46 solves this by verifying the value entered for the console is a
valid device path.
3) The server firmware command 'in all' (information all) did not include
the data returned by the server firmware command 'in cr' (information
chip revisions). 'in all' now includes 'in cr' data.
4) If memory DIMM's are installed in such a manner as to prevent selftest
from completing, (IE: no memory installed in slots 0 a/b) an HPMC occurs.
Server firmware revision 39.46 issues a system alert informing the user
of the problem and an HPMC does not occur.
5) If the server firmware "search" command is performed on either the A5506A
4 Port 100 Base TX or the A5150A Dual Port Ultra 2 SCSI adapter and boot
from these devices is attempted, an HPMC will occur. Currently, boot is
not supported from PCI cards that have a 'pci to pci' bridge. As of
12/99, the A5506A and A5150A are the only PCI cards with a 'pci to pci'
bridge supported on L-Class. The fix is for "search" to not recognize
these cards.
Boot from the A5506A and A5150A is not supported at this time.
6) In some cases, running High Availability Observatory software can cause
the server firmware module PDC_SYSTEM_INFO to overflow its 8K stack
space, resulting in an HPMC. The fix prevents PDC_SYSTEM_INFO from
overflowing its stack space.
7) For servers with server firmware revision 39.40, it is possible for the
processor speed field of the model string to be incorrect. For L2000
servers with server firmware revision 39.40, model strings can be
displayed two ways;
1) by connecting to the Guardian Service processor (GSP) via LAN and
2) in response to the HP-UX model command.
GSP Example:
Service Processor login:
Service Processor password:
Hewlett-Packard Guardian Service Processor
9000/800/L2000-36 Server Name: fesrhapgsp
^^
Processor Speed Field may be incorrect
36 for 360MHz, 44 for 440MHz CPU's
HP-UX Example:
#model
9000/800/L2000-36

Processor Speed Field may be incorrect
36 for 360MHz, 44 for 440MHz CPU's

Title: HP 9000 Model N4000 Firmware revision 41.46
Patch Name: PF_CPIW4146
Patch Description: HP 9000 Model N4000 Firmware revision 41.46
---------------------------------------------------------------------
| ----------------- |
| | C A U T I O N | |
| ----------------- |
| |
| Install this Firmware update ONLY on models listed below. |
| DO NOT attempt to install this Firmware update on L3000 or any |
| other system model as this will render that system inoperable. |
| |
| This patch is a Firmware update for the following systems ONLY: |
| HP9000 Model N4000 |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This patch is a Firmware update for the HP9000 Model N4000
systems.
The following features, fixes and enhancements appear in server firmware
revision 41.46:
- 1GB DIMMs have been produced with 2 different refresh rates, both
types are usable in L-Class and N-Class servers however, the newer
DIMMs that have a faster refresh rate could not be used in the same DIMM
pair as the older DIMMs. Older PDC revisions also required DIMMs with
different refresh rates to be distributed in the system like DIMMs of
different sizes. PDC 41.46 allows the DIMMs to mixed in the same DIMM
pair and removes distribution restrictions.
- Added support for 2GB FC boot.
- Added support for PCI-PCI Bridge boot.
- Added support for Ultra 160 SCSI boot.
- Added 'SCROLL' command to BCH Service Menu.
- Added FRU location to FRU id values.
- When a PCI I/O card is added or replaced Online, the PCI slot is
left in a state from which is not designed to handle some types of
errors. This may result in potential data integrity issues. These
OLAR operations should not be performed on these systems until the PDC
of the system is upgraded to revision 41.36.
- Earlier versions of PDC prevented online diagnostics for reading PIM
data. PDC revision 41.46 corrects this problem.
- Added 'SN' command to BCH Information menu. This command displays the
serial number stored in stable storage.
- HPMC chassis codes reported an incorrect PDC base address. When the
chassis code is sent for HPMC MONARCH SELECTED it will now report the
full 64 bit address.
- Changed IODC to allow DDS4 tape drives to operate in LVD mode on A5149A
SCSI Card.
- Previous revisions of PDC prevented MPE systems from properly handling
a Transfer Of Control (TOC) when LDEV1 was not on an internal disk. PDC
revision 41.46 properly handles TOC's on an MPE system.
- The PCI reset time did not meet the minimum required by the PCI
specifications, it has been changed to meet the specification.
- Earlier versions of PDC prevented online diagnostics for reading PIM
data. PDC revision 41.46 corrects this problem.
PF_CPRW4136:
The following features, fixes and enhancements appear in server firmware
revision 41.36:
1. Added 'sn' command to BCH Information menu. This command displays the
serial number stored in stable storage.
2. Added 'scroll' command to BCH Service menu. This command allows the
display to scroll when using BCH utilities.
3. Enabled use of PA8700 revision 2.3 CPU's.
4. Previous revisions of PDC prevented MPE systems from properly handling
a Transfer Of Control (TOC) when LDEV1 was not on an internal disk. PDC
revision 41.36 properly handles TOC's on an MPE system.
5. HPMC chassis codes reported an incorrect PDC base address. When the
chassis code is sent for HPMC MONARCH SELECTED it will now report the
full 64 bit address.
6. The PDC revision number was displayed incorrectly, it has been changed
to display correctly.
7. The PCI reset time did not meet the minimum required by the PCI
specifications, it has been changed to meet the specification.
8. Changed IODC to allow DDS4 tape drives to operate in LVD mode on A5149A
SCSI Card.
9. When a PCI I/O card is added or replaced Online, the PCI slot is left
in a state from which is not designed to handle some types of errors.
This may result in potential data integrity issues. These OLAR operations
should not be performed on these systems until the PDC of the system is
upgraded to revision 41.36.
PF_CPRW4102:
The following features, fixes and enhancements appear in server firmware
revision 41.02:
1. Provide support Revision 3.1 processors
2. Provide OLA/R support
3. Provide support for new compiler toolsets
4. Serial Number command added to BCH information menu
5. Display CPU speed with BCH command "in pr"
6. Added MPE support
7. Corrected error in LMPC handler
8. Added support for RAID IODC
9. BCH command "CO DE" does not correctly default the model string
Detailed Explanation:
1. Self explanatory
2. N4000 servers require PDC 40.49 and HP-UX 11i to enable the
high availability OLA/R feature. OLA/R stands for OnLine Addition Removal
and Replacement of PCI cards. PDC revision 40.49 is not available for
field installation only PDC revision 41.02 is available.
3. Older revisions of firmware did not support new compiler toolsets. Added
support for new toolsets.
4. Previous revisions of PDC did not allow Field Engineer to view the serial
number. Added the BCH command "in sn" to allow Field Engineers to view the
system serial number.
5. Older revisions of firmaware did not check the speed of the processor and
defaulted to high speed, this caused intermittant system errors. A line
was added to the BCH "in pr" command to display the speed of the processor
and add a warning message for slow speed processors.
6. Older revisions of firmware did not support MPE. PDC revision 41.02 is
required to support MPE.
7. Under certain error conditions LPMC's caused HPMC's to be generated. PDC
revision 41.02 was changed to properly handle the error conditions.
8. Self explanatory.
9. After changing the switches on the system board to 440Mhz from 550Mhz, the
BCH command "CO DE" does not change the model string to 9000/800/N4000-44.
PF_CPRW4025:
New Server Firmware (Rev. 213/ 40.25) is needed to address issues regarding:
1. The speed detection section of PDC did not detect a 360/440 MHz
processor when installed into a 550 MHz system. This enabled the
chance of installing a slow speed processor in a high-speed system.
PDC now detects this condition, issues a warning message and
prevents HP-UX from booting.
2. PDC now supports boot via the A5158A (PCI 2x Fiber Channel) family
of I/O cards.
PF_CPRW3946:
New Server Firmware (Rev. 204/ 39.46) is needed to address issues
regarding:
- PDC_SYSTEM_INFO is overflowing its stack space, may cause HPMC.
- Register gr2 is incorrect on CPUs 3-7 during LPMC.
- "Ser scsi" commands do not accept paths with PCI to PCI bridges.
PF_CPRW3941:
Firmware revision 39.41 adds the following features and enhancements:
- Provides enhancements needed for future hardware.
- Improved soft reset routine.
- Enforces CPU loading order 1,3,5,7,0,2,4,6
- Ensures all CPUs are in the same cache configuration
- Limits boot from tape retries to 10
- Fix firmware shutdown process to prevent HPMC on shutdown
- Preserves SCSI info after a firmware update (from 39.25 only)
- Ensures system has reached a quiescent state prior to starting
firmware HPMC handler to enable proper reporting of the cause of
the failure
- Fixed warning bits not being cleared on reset
- All single bit errors are now resolved to the specific DIMM
- Check for invalid console path to prevent user from selecting the
GSP internal path

Patch Name: PF_CCAW4146
Patch Description: HP 9000 Model L3000 Firmware revision 41.46
---------------------------------------------------------------------
| ----------------- |
| | C A U T I O N | |
| ----------------- |
| |
| Install this Firmware update ONLY on models listed below. |
| DO NOT attempt to install this Firmware update on N4000 or any |
| other system model as this will render that system inoperable. |
| |
| This patch is a Firmware update for the following systems ONLY: |
| HP9000 Model L3000 |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This patch is a Firmware update for the HP9000 Model L3000
systems.
The following features, fixes and enhancements appear in server firmware
revision 41.46:
- 1GB DIMMs have been produced with 2 different refresh rates, both
types are usable in L-Class and N-Class servers however, the newer
DIMMs that have a faster refresh rate could not be used in the same DIMM
pair as the older DIMMs. Older PDC revisions also required DIMMs with
different refresh rates to be distributed in the system like DIMMs of
different sizes. PDC 41.46 allows the DIMMs to mixed in the same DIMM
pair and removes distribution restrictions.
- Added support for 2GB FC boot.
- Added support for PCI-PCI Bridge boot.
- Added support for Ultra 160 SCSI boot.
- Added 'SCROLL' command to BCH Service Menu.
- Added FRU location to FRU id values.
- When a PCI I/O card is added or replaced Online, the PCI slot is
left in a state from which is not designed to handle some types of
errors. This may result in potential data integrity issues. These
OLAR operations should not be performed on these systems until the PDC
of the system is upgraded to revision 41.36.
- Earlier versions of PDC prevented online diagnostics for reading PIM
data. PDC revision 41.46 corrects this problem.
- Added 'SN' command to BCH Information menu. This command displays the
serial number stored in stable storage.
- HPMC chassis codes reported an incorrect PDC base address. When the
chassis code is sent for HPMC MONARCH SELECTED it will now report the
full 64 bit address.
- Changed IODC to allow DDS4 tape drives to operate in LVD mode on A5149A
SCSI Card.
- Previous revisions of PDC prevented MPE systems from properly handling
a Transfer Of Control (TOC) when LDEV1 was not on an internal disk. PDC
revision 41.46 properly handles TOC's on an MPE system.
- The PCI reset time did not meet the minimum required by the PCI
specifications, it has been changed to meet the specification.
- Earlier versions of PDC prevented online diagnostics for reading PIM
data. PDC revision 41.46 corrects this problem.
PF_CMAW4136:
The following features, fixes and enhancements appear in server firmware
revision 41.36:
1. Added 'sn' command to BCH Information menu. This command displays the
serial number stored in stable storage.
2. Added 'scroll' command to BCH Service menu. This command allows the
display to scroll when using BCH utilities.
3. Enabled use of PA8700 revision 2.3 CPU's.
4. Previous revisions of PDC prevented MPE systems from properly handling
a Transfer Of Control (TOC) when LDEV1 was not on an internal disk. PDC
revision 41.36 properly handles TOC's on an MPE system.
5. HPMC chassis codes reported an incorrect PDC base address. When the
chassis code is sent for HPMC MONARCH SELECTED it will now report the
full 64 bit address.
6. The PDC revision number was displayed incorrectly, it has been changed
to display correctly.
7. The PCI reset time did not meet the minimum required by the PCI
specifications, it has been changed to meet the specification.
8. Changed IODC to allow DDS4 tape drives to operate in LVD mode on A5149A
SCSI Card.
9. When a PCI I/O card is added or replaced Online, the PCI slot is left
in a state from which is not designed to handle some types of errors.
This may result in potential data integrity issues. These OLAR operations
should not be performed on these systems until the PDC of the system is
upgraded to revision 41.36.

HP SureStore Virtual Array Firmware Upgrade Procedure (HP13)
*******************************************************************************
PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY Go to the following website for
the most current Firmware/Software installation information and product
updates:
www.hp.com/support/cvsdm
Click on "update software & drivers"
*******************************************************************************
Product Announcement (VA7100 and/or VA7400):
On August 7, 2001 HP released HP11 firmware. HP11 has the full AutoRAID
with RAID 5DP features for both the VA7100 and was the first firmware
for the VA7400. All new VA7100 & VA7400 arrays shipping from that date
have HP11 controller firmware installed. VA7100 products shipped prior
should have either HP02 or HP11 firmware. On September 20, 2001 HP
released HP13 for both the VA7100 and VA7400. HP13 firmware has many
features that improve reliability.
*******************************************************************************
CAUTION: The following table shows when upgrading to HP13 is ON LINE or
OFF LINE
From Firmware Revision:
HP01/HP02 to HP13
OFF-LINE----CE Required
From Firmware Revision:
HP11 to HP13
ON-LINE----Customer Installable, CE Recommended
NOTE: OFF LINE means that the array must be able to shutdown before the
firmware download may be performed.
*******************************************************************************
HP SureStore Virtual Array (VA7100 and/or VA7400) Firmware (HP13) Upgrade
Action:
*******************************************************************************
CAUTION: The first item that must occur before continuing is a full
backup of all data on the array. Verify that this has occurred
before proceeding.
*******************************************************************************
Upgrading the Command View Software (revision 1.02):
Before the new Firmware can be installed a new version of Command View
sdm 1.02 must be installed on the system. The new version of Command
View sdm and installation instructions can be found on the "Command View
sdm update CD" or can be downloaded from the web at the following
location:
http://www.hp.com/support/cvsdm
Click on "update software & drivers"
Please download and install the version of Command View sdm that is
appropriate for your operating system. Follow all of the documentation
provided with the download to ensure that the install is performed
correctly.
*******************************************************************************
CAUTION: You must completely uninstall command view 1.xx software
before installing command view 1.02.
*******************************************************************************
Upgrading to HP13 using Command View sdm follow this procedure (non-boot
devices only):
Copy the downloaded firmware file to:
/opt/sanmgr/commandview/client/fwdownload on a Unix system
c:\sanmgr\commandview\client\fwdownload on a Windows system
If you are downloading OFF LINE then, Unmount all LUNs and file systems
and deactivate all volume groups that are on the array. If you are
downloading ON LINE then, pick a time when the array is not busy. It is
recommended that on line downloading should occur during a time when
minimum I/O is being performed.
HP SureStore Virtual Array Firmware (HP13) Upgrade:
1. The Point-to-Point topology is not supported on HP13 or greater
versions of firmware. If you have Point-to-Point selected and perform
the upgrade the array will fail and not be recoverable without
WTEC/Division assistance. Check the Topology setting with the "armdsp
-s " command. If it is in Point to Point change the settings by running
two commands:
"armmgr -y private -c 1 "
"armmgr -y private -c 2 "
Do this even if there is only one controller installed.
2. Issue the download command:
If downloading OFF LINE use:
on Unix:
armdownload -C -O /opt/sanmgr/commandview/client/fwdownload/DV74HP13.frm
on Windows:
armdownload -C -O c:\sanmgr\commandview\client\fwdownload\DV74HP13.frm
*******************************************************************************
NOTE: The array should restart itself at the end of the download. Once
the array becomes ready you may restart all volume groups and file
systems. Following is an example output of the armdownload command.
*******************************************************************************
If downloading ON LINE use:
on Unix:
armdownload -C /opt/sanmgr/commandview/client/fwdownload/DV74HP13.frm
on Windows:
armdownload -C c:\sanmgr\commandview\client\fwdownload\DV74HP13.frm
EXAMPLE of an OFF LINE download command
# armdownload -C -O /opt/sanmgr/commandview/client/fwdownload/DV74HP13.frm \
test_array
*The name "test_array" is the in the command statement. It defines the
array to perform the command. For more information see the syntax of
the download command.

#
Upgrading to HP13 using ODE and VADIAG follow this procedure (HPUX boot
devices):
It is recommended that you call for a disk specialist to install HP13
using ODE and VADIAG.
Upgrading to HP13 on a Windows NT or W2K boot device:
The FW update requires the Virtual Array be taken offline in order to
perform the upgrade. As such, NT4 & Win2K hosts booting from the
Virtual Array will not be able to perform the FW update. Use a second
Windows host. Install CVSDM onto a second management station, then
connect the array to that host, and perform the FW upgrade from this
host.
Turning AutoRAID ON when upgrading from HP01 or HP02:
Now that you have upgraded the firmware you may also want to turn
AutoRAID on. To change the RAID level of the array you must use the
armmgr command.
To turn AutoRAID on:
Armmgr -C HPAutoRAID {array serial number}
To turn RAID 1+0 on:
Armmgr -C RAID1+0 {array serial number}
*******************************************************************************
CAUTION: It may require a complete back up of the data followed by a
format of the array followed by a complete restore of the data and LUN
configuration of the data to turn on RAID 1+0 from a AutoRAID mode.

Product Announcement (VA7100 and/or VA7400):
On August 7, 2001 HP released HP11 firmware. HP11 has the full AutoRAID
with RAID 5DP features for both the VA7100 and was the first firmware
for the VA7400. All new VA7100 & VA7400 arrays shipping from that date
have HP11 controller firmware installed. VA7100 products shipped prior
should have either HP02 or HP11 firmware. On September 20, 2001 HP
released HP13 for both the VA7100 and VA7400. HP13 firmware has many
features that improve reliability.
*******************************************************************************
CAUTION: The following table shows when upgrading to HP13 is ON LINE or
OFF LINE
From Firmware Revision:
HP01/HP02 to HP13
OFF-LINE----CE Required
From Firmware Revision:
HP11 to HP13
ON-LINE----Customer Installable, CE Recommended
NOTE: OFF LINE means that the array must be able to shutdown before the
firmware download may be performed.

HP SureStore Virtual Array (VA7100 and/or VA7400) Firmware (HP13) Upgrade
Action:
*******************************************************************************
CAUTION: The first item that must occur before continuing is a full
backup of all data on the array. Verify that this has occurred
before proceeding.
*******************************************************************************
Upgrading the Command View Software (revision 1.02):
Before the new Firmware can be installed a new version of Command View
sdm 1.02 must be installed on the system. The new version of Command
View sdm and installation instructions can be found on the "Command View
sdm update CD" or can be downloaded from the web at the following
location:
http://www.hp.com/support/cvsdm
Click on "update software & drivers"
Please download and install the version of Command View sdm that is
appropriate for your operating system. Follow all of the documentation
provided with the download to ensure that the install is performed
correctly.
*******************************************************************************
CAUTION: You must completely uninstall command view 1.xx software
before installing command view 1.02.
*******************************************************************************
Upgrading to HP13 using Command View sdm follow this procedure (non-boot
devices only):
Copy the downloaded firmware file to:
/opt/sanmgr/commandview/client/fwdownload on a Unix system
c:\sanmgr\commandview\client\fwdownload on a Windows system
If you are downloading OFF LINE then, Unmount all LUNs and file systems
and deactivate all volume groups that are on the array. If you are
downloading ON LINE then, pick a time when the array is not busy. It is
recommended that on line downloading should occur during a time when
minimum I/O is being performed.
HP SureStore Virtual Array Firmware (HP13) Upgrade:
1. The Point-to-Point topology is not supported on HP13 or greater
versions of firmware. If you have Point-to-Point selected and perform
the upgrade the array will fail and not be recoverable without
WTEC/Division assistance. Check the Topology setting with the "armdsp
-s " command. If it is in Point to Point change the settings by running
two commands:
"armmgr -y private -c 1 "
"armmgr -y private -c 2 "
Do this even if there is only one controller installed.
2. Issue the download command:
If downloading OFF LINE use:
on Unix:
armdownload -C -O /opt/sanmgr/commandview/client/fwdownload/DV71HP13.frm
on Windows:
armdownload -C -O c:\sanmgr\commandview\client\fwdownload\DV71HP13.frm
*******************************************************************************
NOTE: The array should restart itself at the end of the download. Once
the array becomes ready you may restart all volume groups and file
systems. Following is an example output of the armdownload command.
*******************************************************************************
If downloading ON LINE use:
on Unix:
armdownload -C /opt/sanmgr/commandview/client/fwdownload/DV71HP13.frm
on Windows:
armdownload -C c:\sanmgr\commandview\client\fwdownload\DV71HP13.frm
EXAMPLE of an OFF LINE download command
# armdownload -C -O /opt/sanmgr/commandview/client/fwdownload/DV71HP13.frm \
test_array
*The name "test_array" is the in the command statement. It defines the
array to perform the command. For more information see the syntax of
the download command.

#
Upgrading to HP13 using ODE and VADIAG follow this procedure (HPUX boot
devices):
It is recommended that you call for a disk specialist to install HP13
using ODE and VADIAG.
Upgrading to HP13 on a Windows NT or W2K boot device:
The FW update requires the Virtual Array be taken offline in order to
perform the upgrade. As such, NT4 & Win2K hosts booting from the
Virtual Array will not be able to perform the FW update. Use a second
Windows host. Install CVSDM onto a second management station, then
connect the array to that host, and perform the FW upgrade from this
host.
Turning AutoRAID ON when upgrading from HP01 or HP02:
Now that you have upgraded the firmware you may also want to turn
AutoRAID on. To change the RAID level of the array you must use the
armmgr command.
To turn AutoRAID on:
Armmgr -C HPAutoRAID {array serial number}
To turn RAID 1+0 on:
Armmgr -C RAID1+0 {array serial number}
*******************************************************************************
CAUTION: It may require a complete back up of the data followed by a
format of the array followed by a complete restore of the data and LUN
configuration of the data to turn on RAID 1+0 from a AutoRAID mode.
