Updating the Controller Firmware
To load the latest version of the firmware for the MSA1000 Controller, go to the
HP website at
http://www.hp.com.
From the HP StorageWorks MSA1000 page,
select the Software, Firmware & Drivers option.
Note: All supported operating systems obtain MSA1000 Controller firmware upgrades
from the HP website.
Installation instructions are available on the website.
You can use several methods to find out the version of the controller firmware you
are currently running:
■ In the CLI, use the SHOW VERSION command.
■ On the MSA1000 Controller LCD panel, use the arrow keys to scroll
backwards through the messages.
Each time the MSA1000 storage system is restarted, the first message that is
displayed includes the firmware version.
■ In the ACU, highlight the controller and view the details.
