HP Scalable File Share G3 MSA2000fc How To

2 Controlling the PFU feature on CE
PFU is an enclosure-level setting applicable to both controllers in the CE. The PFU feature is enabled
by default for MSA2000 G1 and MSA2000 G2 product families. If you enable PFU on MSA2212fc
and MSA2312fc dual-controller systems, then the system also updates the partner controller when
firmware is updated on one controller.
Enable or disable PFU for both controllers by logging in to either of the controllers.
IMPORTANT:
In some instances, the PFU feature does not produce the intended results during firmware upgrade,
leading to issues such as management controller hang and upgrade process hang. HP recommends
disabling the PFU feature on the MSAs attached to HP SFS setup.
NOTE: When a failed controller is replaced with a new controller and booted, the PFU is read
from the active partner controller or the CE.
