Updating Firmware

CAUTION This Embedded NetRAID update only updates the firmware on the CPU baseboard. When you reboot the NOS after this update, you will get an error message caused by conflicts between the NetRAID information stored elsewhere in the system and the new information saved in the CPU baseboard firmware. Use the HP NetRAID Express Tools utility to reconfigure your system, based on the configuration details you documented before starting the upgrade.

10.Enter the Setup utility by pressing F2 at the screen prompt. Run "Clear Config" to clear the SCSI Controller, Embedded RAID, and system configuration.

NOTE

If you do not push F2 quickly enough, you may be immediately

 

routed to the HP NetRAID Express Tools utility to remedy the

 

problem noted in the above CAUTION. Perform the Embedded

 

RAID reconfiguration, then proceed to the Setup

 

reconfiguration.

 

 

11.Reconfigure Embedded RAID and Setup according to the configuration you saved earlier. You should not need to reinitialize the hard disks.

12.Reboot the system and:

A.Reconfigure Integrated Remote Assistant

B.Clear the System Event Log

Update the Operating System

NOTE

If you are upgrading from a single-processor to multi-processor

 

machine, you may have to reinstall the operating system. Please

 

consult with your operating system vendor.

 

 

WARNING Navigator will prompt the user, "Would you like to use HP’s automated mode of NOS Installation?" The default is "Yes." If you choose "Yes," whatever was on the C: drive will be lost.
