Reboot Requirement:
Reboot may be required after installation for updates to take effect and hardware stability to be maintained.


Installation:
To update firmware from Windows operating system on target server:

  • Place the Smart Component in a temporary directory.
  • Double-click on the Smart Component.
  • Follow the directions given by the Smart Component.
  • Reboot your system if you would like the update to take effect immediately.
To use HP Smart Update Manager from the HP Service Pack for ProLiant :
  • Place the desired firmware to be updated in the directory, \SPP20xxxxx\hp\swpackages
  • Locate Start.html which is found in the root of the ISO
  • Open the html file in a supported browser
  • Follow the instructions on the screen

Upgrade Requirement:
Critical - HPE requires users update to this version immediately.

  • Online firmware flashing of drives attached to an HP Smart Array controller running in Zero Memory (ZM) mode or an HP ProLiant host bus adapter (HBA) is NOT supported. Only offline firmware flashing of drives is supported for these configurations.
  • Online drive firmware update available for Smart Array Controllers configured in systems running supported Linux, Microsoft Windows, and VMware environments. All other OSes would require an offline update using the SPP and HP SUM.
  • Customers who already installed firmware version HPD8 do not need to update to HPD8 (B).

Enhancements/New Features for HPD8 (B): 
  • Updated the flash engine to standardize logging across all SAS drive components.
  • Enhanced logging capability to improve the details provided in the component log file.

Problem Fixed:

  • After long term use of the HDD, a rare condition might occur following a power cycle where the drive heads may land on areas of the disk containing data, which could potentially cause data loss or mechanical damage. Firmware version HPD8 prevents this condition from occurring.
  • This firmware prevents a rare condition that may occur during a WRITE SAME command sequence that may result in incorrect data being written to the hard drive. The WRITE SAME command may be used during RAID ARRAY parity initialization.

Known Issues:
     None

  • Customers who already installed firmware version HPD9 do not need to update to HPD9 (B).

Problems Fixed:

  • HPD9 firmware prevents a condition in which data fails to be committed to disk after the host issues a hard reset in a lab stress test environment with write cache enabled.

Problems Fixed for HPD9 (B):

  • Component would fail to install drive firmware for drives present in a system configured with two or more external drive enclosures attached to an HP Host Bus Adapter H22x. The following message would be reported in the component log file - “Device appears more than once in tree”. The drive firmware installation failure was not observed in configurations having only one external drive enclosure attached to an HP Host Bus Adapter H22x.
  • Component would cause an exception error when deployed on a computer with a fully qualified domain name greater than 40 characters in length.
