CAUTION: When upgrading the 1210m controller firmware, HP recommends that you
perform the upgrade in the following order:
1. Upgrade the 1210m controller firmware on node 1.
2. Upgrade the 1210m controller firmware on node 2.
3. Power cycle node 1 and wait for it to come online.
4. Power cycle node 2.
Otherwise, the firmware may synchronize with the controller running the previous version of
code.
If, after upgrading the firmware on the controllers, the messaging system does not see any
storage or the controllers do not start, see “Resolving errors after the HP 1210m controller
upgrade” (page 66).
NOTE: Each firmware upgrade takes a few minutes to complete. If you are upgrading
multiple components, such as hard drives, the upgrade takes more time.
7. Reboot the server blade from the Start menu, if needed.
A message appears on the Firmware tab to alert you if a reboot is required after each
component firmware upgrade (Figure 52 (page 66)). After the upgrade completes, the Firmware
Status changes from “Firmware updates recommended” to “A reboot is required.”
NOTE: If a reboot is not required after the component firmware upgrade completes, a green
checkmark displays next to the component name.
