Updating the enclosure firmware

NOTE: The following is a generic procedure to update firmware from the UEFI shell. HP recommends that you follow the procedures supplied with the update package to install the firmware update.

Use saupdate from the UEFI Shell to update the firmware image on the enclosure.

To update the enclosure firmware with saupdate, follow these steps:

1.Prepare to run saupdate from the Offline Diagnostics CD or the UEFI partition:

•To run saupdate from the Offline Diagnostic CD:

a.Download the firmware and copy it to the UEFI partition.

b.Place the Offline Diagnostic CD containing saupdate.efi in the CD drive before booting the system.

c.Boot the system to the UEFI Shell prompt.

d.Locate the cdrom entry in the list of mapped devices, and change to the device by entering its associated fs number (for example, fs0) under UEFI Shell prompt.

e.If the UEFI utility and firmware image files are not located in the root directory, move to the directory where these files are located, for example:

fs0:\> cd \EFI\HP\TOOLS\IO_CARDS\SmartArray

•To run saupdate from the UEFI partition:

a.Download the Smart Array UEFI update utility saupdate.efi and copy it to the UEFI partition.

b.Download the firmware and copy it to the UEFI partition.

c.Boot the system to the UEFI Shell and change directories to the UEFI partition.

IMPORTANT: The firmware image file and saupdate.efi must be located in the same directory. If they are not, copy them to the UEFI partition and run the saupdate from there.

2.Use saupdate UPDATE to update the firmware on the controller:

•To update a single enclosure, use this command:

saupdate UPDATE <seg:bus:dev:func:encl_index> <firmware_file>

For example, to update the enclosure at segment 1, bus E4, device 0, function 0, index

0 with the firmware file T-262.fuf:

fs1:\> saupdate update 1:E4:0:0:0 T-262.fuf
