Installing firmware using FTP
1. Obtain the firmware package and save it to a temporary directory. Firmware for all HP products
is available from the HP Business Support Center website at
downloads.
2. If using a Smart Component, extract the contents of the Smart Component using one of the following
methods:
In Windows—Click Extract on the first screen of the Smart Component.
In Linux—Enter a command using the following syntax:
./CPxxxxxx.scexe --unpack=<folder name>
where
./CPxxxxxx.scexe
<folder name>
3. Locate the firmware file in the downloaded/extracted folder. The firmware file name is in the
following format: SxxxByy.bin
4. Do one of the following:
To update all modules, proceed to step 5.
To update specific modules, determine the address of each module to update: In the CLI,
display the addresses by entering the show enclosures command. The needed data is
displayed in the columns labeled EMP A CH:ID Rev and EMP B CH:ID Rev.
5. Using the SMU, prepare to use FTP:
a. Determine the network-port IP addresses of the system controllers.
b. Verify that the system FTP service is enabled.
c. Verify that the user you will log in as has permission to use the FTP interface and has manage
access rights.
6. In single-domain environments, stop I/O to vdisks in the enclosure before starting the firmware
update.
7. Open a command prompt (Windows) or a terminal window (UNIX), and navigate to the directory
containing the firmware file to load.
a. Enter a command using the following syntax:
ftp <controller-network-address>. (For example: ftp 10.1.0.9)
b. Log in as an FTP user (user = ftp, password = !ftp).
c. Enter a command using the following syntax:
where
<firmware-file> represents the binary firmware filename
<channel-ID>:<EMP-number> represents the I/O module address
8. Wait for the installation to complete. During installation, each updated module automatically
restarts.
9. If needed, repeat these steps to load the firmware on additional modules.
10. Quit the FTP session.
