Installing firmware using Smart Components—Linux environments
1. Obtain the firmware package and save it to a temporary directory. Firmware for all HP products
is available from the HP Business Support Center website at http://www.hp.com/support/
downloads.
2. In single-domain environments, stop all I/O to vdisks in the enclosure before starting the firmware
update.
3. Open a Linux command console.
4. From the directory containing the downloaded file, enable execute access to this model by entering:
chmod +x CPxxxxxx.scexe
where CPxxxxxx.scexe represents the downloaded Smart Component filename.
5. Execute the Smart Component by entering a command similar to the following:
./CPxxxxxx.scexe -e --target <ip_address> --user <manage_username>
--passwd <manage_password>
NOTE:
• Use the -e or -f option when flashing a device, even if it is up to date.
• Use the -g option when downgrading.
• Use the -h option to see online help for the command.
• If the user name or password contains an exclamation mark (!), enclose the string in single
quotes or enter a backslash (\) before the exclamation point. For example, '!manage' or
\!manage.
6. Follow the onscreen instructions. When prompted for logon information, enter credentials for an
account with management access rights.
7. Wait for the installation to complete. During installation, each updated module automatically
restarts. Upon completion, a confirmation message is displayed.
