About Firmware Files
The following information should be used when downloading firmware files.
■ Firmware files for the HP StorageWorks Virtual Array products are
available at the following locations on the HP Support web:
http://www.hp.com/support/va7100
http://www.hp.com/support/va7400
■ When downloading firmware files, it is recommended that they be put in
the following folders:
...\sanmgr\commandview\client\fwdownload for arrays
...\sanmgr\commandview\client\sbin for JBOD.
This is the default location. If the files are placed in another location, the path
must be specified.
■ There are two types of firmware files, raw (.LOD) and wrapped (.FRM).
Wrapped files contain header information that allow the download utilities
to verify that the firmware file matches the hardware component. Use only
wrapped files when downloading firmware.
