Installation instructions Included in this section: Installation notes and best practices (page 4) Installation instructions for server-connect environments (page 5) Installation instructions for controller enclosure connect environments (page 6) Installation notes and best practices When planning a firmware update, schedule an appropriate time to perform the update. Firmware updates must be performed during a system maintenance window, with all I/O to the system halted. Before installing new firmware, review system requirements, enhancements list, fixes list, and other information in the firmware release notes, device QuickSpecs, and updated user documentation. Before installing new firmware, ensure that the system is stable and is not being reconfigured or changed in any way. If changes are in progress, monitor them and wait until they are completed before proceeding with the upgrade. Before installing new firmware, HP recommends creating a full backup of all data stored on the enclosure. After the installation process, verify system status in the software tools and confirm that the new firmware version is displayed as running on the enclosure. 4 Enhancements and fixes

Installation instructions for server-connect environments The following methods can be used to install new firmware in server-connect environments, such as when the D2600 or D2700 disk enclosure is connected to a Smart Array controller installed in the server: Installing firmware using Smart Components in Windows environments (page 5) Installing firmware using Smart Components in Linux environments (page 5) Special installation procedures for single-domain environments (page 5) Installing firmware using Smart Components in Windows environments Firmware is embedded in the downloaded file, which is a self-extracting, executable module. Execution procedures differ by operating system. IMPORTANT: Firmware updates must be performed during a system maintenance window; halt all I/O to the system. NOTE: In dual-domain configurations, both I/O modules of the target disk enclosure and any cascaded disk enclosures are automatically updated during the firmware installation process. This is a self-extracting executable module. Execute this module from the command line console or the Windows graphical user interface. 1. Save the downloaded file in a temporary directory. 2. From the temporary directory, invoke the Smart Component in the command line console or double-click the CPxxxxxx.exe file. (CPxxxxxx.exe represents the downloaded file.) 3. Follow the on-screen instructions. Installing firmware using Smart Components in Linux environments This is a self-extracting executable module. This module operates only from the Linux command line. IMPORTANT: Firmware updates must be performed during a system maintenance window; halt all I/O to the system. NOTE: In dual-domain configurations, both I/O modules of the target disk enclosure and any cascaded disk enclosures are automatically updated during the firmware installation process. 1.

Special installation procedures for single-domain environments In a single domain configuration, I/O module A (top module) is connected to a host and I/O module B (bottom module) is unused. Even though the bottom I/O module is unused, both modules must have the same firmware version installed. Do the following to make sure that both I/O modules are updated: Installation instructions 5

1. Flash I/O module A of the first and all cascaded disk enclosures using the firmware upgrade executable. NOTE: When disk enclosures are cascaded, I/O module A of one enclosure is connected to I/O module A of the subsequent enclosure. During a firmware update, I/O module A in the cascaded disk enclosures is automatically updated. 2. After I/O module A is flashed successfully in the disk enclosures, shut down and turn off the server. 3. Remove A/C power to the first and all cascaded disk enclosures. 4. Label all cables connected to I/O module A of the first and all cascaded disk enclosures and then disconnect all cables from the I/O modules. 5. Swap the positions of the I/O modules in the enclosure. 6. Reconnect the cables to the top I/O module (it used to be the bottom I/O module) in the enclosure, using the labels to ensure that all cabling is connected properly, in the same configuration as before. 7. Turn on the storage enclosures and wait for the storage enclosures to complete their startup routines. 8. Turn on the server. 9. After the server startup procedure is complete, flash the top I/O module (the new I/O module A) of the first and all cascaded disk enclosures using the firmware upgrade executable. 10. After the I/O module is flashed successfully in the disk enclosures, power cycle the server to resume normal operation. Installation instructions for controller enclosure connect environments The following methods can be used to install new firmware in controller enclosure-connect environments, such as when the D2700 disk enclosure is connected to a controller enclosure, which in turn is connected to a server or network: Installing firmware using Smart Components in Windows environments (page 6) Installing firmware using Smart Components in Linux environments (page 7) Installing firmware using the Storage Management Utility (SMU) (page 7) Installing firmware using FTP (page 8) Installing firmware using Smart Components in Windows environments This is a self-extracting executable module.
