I've tried to read just about every article on the internet about how to update the firmware on the MSA60 but I can't quite seem to get mine to work.
A quick overview is that I'm currently on firmware 1.4 for the MSA60. I read that to go past 1.5 you need newer backplanes. I assumed ours were too old so I tried to purchase newer ones. (399050-001) Went from Revision 0B to Revision 0C.
I then tried using the HP SPP update utility along with CP013530.scexe (2.28 firmware) but it didn't recognize my p800 card. I then tried the HP Smart Update Firmware DVD but it also didn't recognize the controller card. In a last ditch effort, I tried using the HP ProLiant Firmware Maintenance CD 8.00 along with firmware 2.16. This time, it actually recognized the card and said I needed to update the MSA60.
Great I thought, finally it noticed my hardware. After a few seconds, the installation failed stating that I must update to a newer set of backplanes (454574-001, different part number but still a 'backplane', confusing..) and linked me to this article (http://h20564.www2.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c01388517&lang=en-us&cc=us).
I'm very lost right now. I'm simply running a DL360 G5 with an MSA60 and a single I/O module. I'm stuck on firmware 1.4 and I just want to update so that I can utilize 2-TB SAS drives instead of the current 1-TB SAS drives.
Can anyone help me in any fashion, I'd really appreciate it.
-Thanks
