Prerequisites

MSA1510i ﬁrmware 2.0 requires the following components on the server:

•Windows: Microsoft iSCSI Initiator 2.06+, MPIO software, and Microsoft Device SpeciﬁcModule

(DSM)

IMPORTANT:

Before installing and using 2.0 active/active ﬁrmware, any previous version of the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator

and MPIO software and HP DSM must be uninstalled from the server. While this can be done manually,

HP recommends using the MSA1510i Support CD version 2.0 to manage this process. An ISO image of

theCDisavailableontheMSA1510iSupportpage:http://www.hp.com/support.

•VMware: VMware initiator that is native with 3.0.x

Important notes and service considerations

To install the ﬁrmware, use the procedures and instructions provided in these instructions and on the

MSA1510i Support CD, version 2.0. An ISO image of the CD is available on the MSA1510i support

page: http://www.hp.com/support.

Please note the following:

•MSA1510i ﬁrmware 2.0 is backward compatible with all previous ﬁrmware versions.

•MSA1510i ﬁrmware version 2.00 requires that the MPIO Device SpeciﬁcModule(DSM)suppliedby

HP for all previous releases be un-installed on every Windows Server connecting to the MSA1510i.

Version 2.0 ﬁrmware uses the generic Microsoft-supplied DSM during the installation of the Windows

iSCSI Initiator 2.06+. Failure to do this results in conﬂicting ownership of Storage and loss of

connectivity to LUNs during path loss.

•Before installing new ﬁrmware, save existing conﬁguration records and stop all I/O.

•Prior to updating ﬁrmware on the MSA1510i or MSA20, ensure that all controller shelves, storage

enclosures, switches, and other devices in the SAN are powered up and functioning correctly.

•Updating the MSA1510i or MSA20 requires the controller batteries to be fully charged. This only

concerns controllers that have been sitting on the shelf for an extended period of days and put

into a system where it needs to be updated. In such case, leave the system powered on for a few

hours before trying a ﬁrmware update.

•If currently-installed ﬁrmware is version 1.30 or earlier, use Internet Explorer 6.0 to do the update.

IE7.0 is not supported for use with ﬁrmware versions 1.30 or earlier.

•After installing 2.0 ﬁrmware, in dual-controller conﬁgurations, you must conﬁgure a management

port on the second controller.

•After installing 2.0 ﬁrmware, in dual-controller conﬁgurations, the system assigns LUN ownership off

all LUNs to one of the two controllers. Over time, the system implicitly manages the optimal paths of

the LUNs to the controllers, reassigning LUN ownership as needed. For more information, see the

MSA1510i installation and user guide or the MSA1510i iSCSI concepts and deployment guide.

•After updating MSA20 ﬁrmware, the controller shelf and ALL MSA20 and MSA30 attached storage

enclosures must be power-cycled.

Installation instructions

If your MSA1510i setup includes one or more attached MSA20 storage enclosures, you must update

the ﬁrmware on all MSA20s before updating the MSA1510i. Use the following instructions to update

MSA20 ﬁrmware:

1. Extract the MSA20 ﬁrmware image ﬁle to a system folder. (The MSA20 ﬁrmware ﬁlename will be in

a format similar to MSA20_v208_b7A31.bin.)

2. Update the ﬁrmware using the HP Storage Management Utility (SMU):

a. Point your browser to and open the SMU.

b. Select the Conﬁgure tab.

c. Select Controller (Active) > Flash Firmware.

d. Click Browse, navigate to the location of the previously downloaded MSA20 ﬁrmware image

ﬁle, and then select OK.

Progress is indicated in the browser with "Flashing Firmware ........"

e. Wait for the following popup message The operation completed successfully.

The Storage system must be reset for the changes to take place." to

display in the browser and for 313 FIRMWARE FLASH DONE ON BOX <n> to display on

the MSA1510i LCD panel.

NOTE:

If one or more MSA20 units are connected to the MSA1510i, each one is sequentially

updated during this process.

3. Manually power cycle all attached MSA20s and wait for them to complete their startup processes.

4. In the SMU, select Storage System > Reset System to restart the MSA1510i.

To update MSA1510i ﬁrmware, do the following:

1. In dual controller MSA1510i conﬁgurations, log off all of the redundant paths to the standby

controller prior to beginning a ﬁrmware update.

IMPORTANT:

The update will NOT succeed if redundant paths are detected by the MPIO/DSM and may

requiremultiplerebootstorecoverbacktotheoriginalﬁrmware version. There could also

be potential loss of connection of the Internet Explorer to the management port if there are

redundant paths during the ﬂash update cycle.

2. Extract the MSA1510i ﬁrmware image ﬁle to a system folder. (The MSA1510i ﬁrmware ﬁlename will

be in a format similar to V200B803_2008–0429.bin.)

3. Update the ﬁrmware using the HP Storage Management Utility (SMU) :

a. Point your browser to and open the SMU.

b. SelecttheConﬁgure tab.

c. Select Controller (Active) > Flash Firmware.

d. Click Browse, navigate to the location of the previously downloaded MSA1510i ﬁrmware image

ﬁle, and then select OK.

Progress is indicated in the browser with "Flashing Firmware ........"

e. Wait for the following popup message The operation completed successfully.

The Storage system must be reset for the changes to take place." to

display in the browser and for 313 FIRMWARE FLASH DONE ON BOX <n> to display on

the MSA1510i LCD panel.

4. In the SMU, select Storage System > Reset System to restart the MSA1510i.

IMPORTANT:

In dual controller conﬁgurations, the second controller MUST be updated to the same

image to complete the update cycle. When the system is restarted, the new ﬁrmware will

automatically be cloned from the just-updated controller over to the other controller. For

more information, see the "Redundant-controller ﬁrmware cloning" instructions in the

StorageWorks 1510i Modular Smart Array maintenance and service guide

Determining installed version

To determine the ﬁrmware installed on an MSA1510i controller, do one of the following:

•On the MSA controller LCD panel, press the ^ v keys to scroll through the messages until the ARRAY

CONTROLLER FIRMWARE VER <version> message is displayed.

•In the MSA-CLI, use the SHOW VERSION command.

•In the Storage Management Utility (SMU) , select View MSA1510i Controller.
