UPDATING THE CONTROLLER FIRMWARE Use saupdate from the UEFI Shell to update the firmware image on the controller: To update the controller firmware with saupdate, follow these steps: 1. Prepare to run saupdate from the Offline Diagnostics CD or the UEFI partition: o To run saupdate from the Offline Diagnostic CD: a. Download the firmware and copy it to the UEFI partition. b. Place the Offline Diagnostic CD containing saupdate.efi in the CD drive before booting the system. c. Boot the system to the UEFI Shell prompt. d. Locate the cdrom entry in the list of mapped devices, and change to the device by entering its associated fs number (for example, fs0) under UEFI Shell prompt. e. If the UEFI utility and firmware image files are not located in the root directory, move to the directory where these files are located, for example: fs0:\> cd \EFI\HP\TOOLS\IO_CARDS\SmartArray o To run saupdate from the UEFI partition: a. Download the Smart Array UEFI update utility saupdate.efi and copy it to the UEFI partition. b. Download the firmware and copy it to the UEFI partition. c. Boot the system to the UEFI Shell and change directories to the UEFI partition. [Important] Important: The firmware image file and saupdate.efi must be located in the same directory. If they are not, copy them to the UEFI partition and run saupdate from there. 2. Use saupdate UPDATE to update the firmware on the controller. To update a single controller, the syntax of the saupdate UPDATE command is as follows: saupdate UPDATE For example, to update the controller at segment 1, bus E4, device 0, function 0 from the example output above: fs0:\> saupdate UPDATE 1:E4:0:0 sandman642b0.bin To update all controllers of the same model in the server, the syntax of the saupdate UPDATE command is as follows: saupdate UPDATE . For example, to update all Smart Array P411 controllers in the system: fs1:\> saupdate update P411 sandman642b0.bin ******************************************************************************** Smart Array Offline Firmware Update Utility Version 2.11.08.00 (C) Copyright 2009 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. ******************************************************************************** Updating controller in Seg: 1, Bus: 71, Dev: 0, Func: 0 Current firmware version 5.16 Build 0 Percentage completed: 100% Activating firmware now, this may take several minutes.

The syntax of the saupdate UPDATE command is as follows: saupdate UPDATE all . VERIFYING THE FIRMWARE UPDATE To verify that the firmware update was successful, follow these steps: 1. After updating the firmware, cycle the power on the system and on any external JBODS connected to the system. 2. Use saupdate list to confirm that the correct firmware version is installed. For example: fs0:\EFI\TOOLS> saupdate list ******************************************************************************** Smart Array Offline Firmware Update Utility Version 2.11.08.00 (C) Copyright 2009 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. ******************************************************************************** Seg Bus Dev Func Description Version Build 1 71 0 0 HP Smart Array P411 6.42 0 1 E4 0 0 HP Smart Array P411 6.42 0
