chrbb Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Has anyone done a Smart Array firmware update on a ML350 proliant server? Did it go alright?
john Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 I did a complete set of firmware updates from a HP Download, you burnt the ISO to CD and it did the works, motherboard, BIOS, RAID Card, Hard Drive Firmwares etc etc it took about 40 minutes to do as it did everything you could imagine! Server seemed fine after it, no better no worse, the reason for doing you may ask is wanted to see if it worked as it should and B was due for a re-format and setup so give it the best start in life
chrbb Posted November 9, 2007 Author Posted November 9, 2007 I've had problems with a drive being advised as 'removed from slot' and then minutes later rebuilding, sent a log to HP who advise the smart array firmware needs updating. Always a bit iffy about doing things to the server it's the only one we've got!
john Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 I think you will be fine, make sure thats all your doing and no-one who may pull the plug from the mains etc and you should be fine.
SYNACK Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 I have updated the firmware on at least 10 hp smart array controllers via the online windows softpaq updates and have not yet had a problem with any.
