8.3.1 Software Installation
Please see section 9.0 Software Installation in this document. Section 9.0
provides the specific procedures needed to install your HSOF V3.7 Software.
The information in this section can be used in conjunction with the information

“Installing and Upgrading “, pages 3-3 through 3-21.
8.3.2 HSUTIL Procedure
Please insert the following procedure in the HSZ40 Array Controller HSOF
V3.1 Service Manual, Chapter 3 “Installing and Upgrading “, page 3-36 after
the section “Considerations for Installing New device Firmware”.
Use the below procedure to upgrade firmware with HSUTIL.
1.
Connect a local terminal to the controller that accesses the device you
want to upgrade.
2. Configure a single-disk unit.
NOTE
In the steps that follow, you will copy the firmware image to
this unit, then use HSUTIL to distribute it to the devices you
are upgrading. This unit must be a newly initialized disk with
no label or file structure to ensure that the firmware image
resides in contiguous blocks starting from LBN 0 or another
known LBN. Additionally, write-back caching must be disabled
(see HSZ40 Array Controller HSOF Version 3.1 CLI Reference
Manual). See the HSZ40 Array Controller HSOF Version 3.1
Configuration Manual for instructions on configuring a single-
disk unit.
See the Firmware Release Notes for details and exceptions to
the code load process.
3. Copy the firmware image to the single-disk unit that you configured in
Step 2. The firmware image must begin at a known LBN (usually 0) and
must be contiguous. See the documentation that accompanied your host’s
operating system for instructions on copying firmware images to a disk
drive.
