Prerequisites
MSA1510i firmware 2.0 requires the following components on the server:
•Windows: Microsoft iSCSI Initiator 2.06+, MPIO software, and Microsoft Device SpecificModule
(DSM)
IMPORTANT:
Before installing and using 2.0 active/active firmware, any previous version of the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator
and MPIO software and HP DSM must be uninstalled from the server. While this can be done manually,
HP recommends using the MSA1510i Support CD version 2.0 to manage this process. An ISO image of

•VMware: VMware initiator that is native with 3.0.x

Important notes and service considerations
To install the firmware, use the procedures and instructions provided in these instructions and on the
MSA1510i Support CD, version 2.0. An ISO image of the CD is available on the MSA1510i support
page: http://www.hp.com/support.
Please note the following:
•MSA1510i firmware 2.0 is backward compatible with all previous firmware versions.
•MSA1510i firmware version 2.00 requires that the MPIO Device SpecificModule(DSM)suppliedby
HP for all previous releases be un-installed on every Windows Server connecting to the MSA1510i.
Version 2.0 firmware uses the generic Microsoft-supplied DSM during the installation of the Windows
iSCSI Initiator 2.06+. Failure to do this results in conflicting ownership of Storage and loss of
connectivity to LUNs during path loss.
•Before installing new firmware, save existing configuration records and stop all I/O.
•Prior to updating firmware on the MSA1510i or MSA20, ensure that all controller shelves, storage
enclosures, switches, and other devices in the SAN are powered up and functioning correctly.
•Updating the MSA1510i or MSA20 requires the controller batteries to be fully charged. This only
concerns controllers that have been sitting on the shelf for an extended period of days and put
into a system where it needs to be updated. In such case, leave the system powered on for a few
hours before trying a firmware update.
•If currently-installed firmware is version 1.30 or earlier, use Internet Explorer 6.0 to do the update.
IE7.0 is not supported for use with firmware versions 1.30 or earlier.
•After installing 2.0 firmware, in dual-controller configurations, you must configure a management
port on the second controller.
•After installing 2.0 firmware, in dual-controller configurations, the system assigns LUN ownership off
all LUNs to one of the two controllers. Over time, the system implicitly manages the optimal paths of
the LUNs to the controllers, reassigning LUN ownership as needed. For more information, see the
MSA1510i installation and user guide or the MSA1510i iSCSI concepts and deployment guide.
•After updating MSA20 firmware, the controller shelf and ALL MSA20 and MSA30 attached storage
enclosures must be power-cycled.
Installation instructions
If your MSA1510i setup includes one or more attached MSA20 storage enclosures, you must update
the firmware on all MSA20s before updating the MSA1510i. Use the following instructions to update
MSA20 firmware:
1. Extract the MSA20 firmware image file to a system folder. (The MSA20 firmware filename will be in
a format similar to MSA20_v208_b7A31.bin.)

2. Update the firmware using the HP Storage Management Utility (SMU):
a. Point your browser to and open the SMU.
b. Select the Configure tab.
c. Select Controller (Active) > Flash Firmware.
d. Click Browse, navigate to the location of the previously downloaded MSA20 firmware image
file, and then select OK.
Progress is indicated in the browser with "Flashing Firmware ........"
e. Wait for the following popup message The operation completed successfully.
The Storage system must be reset for the changes to take place." to
display in the browser and for 313 FIRMWARE FLASH DONE ON BOX <n> to display on
the MSA1510i LCD panel.
NOTE:
If one or more MSA20 units are connected to the MSA1510i, each one is sequentially
updated during this process.
3. Manually power cycle all attached MSA20s and wait for them to complete their startup processes.
4. In the SMU, select Storage System > Reset System to restart the MSA1510i.
To update MSA1510i firmware, do the following:
1. In dual controller MSA1510i configurations, log off all of the redundant paths to the standby
controller prior to beginning a firmware update.
IMPORTANT:
The update will NOT succeed if redundant paths are detected by the MPIO/DSM and may
requiremultiplerebootstorecoverbacktotheoriginalfirmware version. There could also
be potential loss of connection of the Internet Explorer to the management port if there are
redundant paths during the flash update cycle.
2. Extract the MSA1510i firmware image file to a system folder. (The MSA1510i firmware filename will
be in a format similar to V200B803_2008–0429.bin.)
3. Update the firmware using the HP Storage Management Utility (SMU) :
a. Point your browser to and open the SMU.
b. SelecttheConfigure tab.
c. Select Controller (Active) > Flash Firmware.
d. Click Browse, navigate to the location of the previously downloaded MSA1510i firmware image
file, and then select OK.
Progress is indicated in the browser with "Flashing Firmware ........"
e. Wait for the following popup message The operation completed successfully.
The Storage system must be reset for the changes to take place." to
display in the browser and for 313 FIRMWARE FLASH DONE ON BOX <n> to display on
the MSA1510i LCD panel.

4. In the SMU, select Storage System > Reset System to restart the MSA1510i.
IMPORTANT:
In dual controller configurations, the second controller MUST be updated to the same
image to complete the update cycle. When the system is restarted, the new firmware will
automatically be cloned from the just-updated controller over to the other controller. For
more information, see the "Redundant-controller firmware cloning" instructions in the
HP
StorageWorks 1510i Modular Smart Array maintenance and service guide
.
Determining installed version
To determine the firmware installed on an MSA1510i controller, do one of the following:
•On the MSA controller LCD panel, press the ^ v keys to scroll through the messages until the ARRAY
CONTROLLER FIRMWARE VER <version> message is displayed.
•In the MSA-CLI, use the SHOW VERSION command.
•In the Storage Management Utility (SMU) , select View MSA1510i Controller.
