Upgrading BIOS or hardware firmware components
Do not upgrade BIOS or hardware firmware components individually using downloads from the HPE Support
website because currently supported firmware component updates are already embedded within the
StoreOnce software. Always use the StoreOnce CLI or the StoreOnce GUI to implement BIOS and hardware
firmware component checks and updates.
Updating firmware using the StoreOnce GUI
Procedure
1. Select Firmware to view the firmware versions for hardware components, and to update firmware versions
if required.
The Firmware window appears with the following tabs:
•
Server: Contains firmware details for all server components.
•
Storage: Contains firmware details for all storage components.
2. To perform a check on the currently installed firmware versions for all components, click Scan.
This action will populate the firmware tabs and may take several minutes to run.
NOTE:
If a firmware update is already in progress, the scan will fail.
After running a Scan, the Recommended Action field in the component list is updated to show whether
individual components require an upgrade or a downgrade. Components requiring an upgrade are
automatically selected. Components requiring a downgrade are not automatically selected. A downgrade
takes longer to complete and is optional for some components, such as hard drives. It may be carried out
separately, if required, after the upgrade has completed.
NOTE:
When the firmware updates are initiated, the backup devices will be taken offline. Before performing
this step, check that there are no outstanding backup jobs pending.
IMPORTANT:
Do not shutdown or reboot your system or any system component until the final step. Special
instructions may apply.
3. Click Update Selected or Update All. (Update All will attempt to update all components that are in the
state where there is an update recommended; it will not try to update components that do not need an
update.)
The Status field will show which components are being updated and which updates have been completed
In some cases, when the firmware update has been loaded, you will need to perform a reboot to complete
the firmware update. If a reboot is required, a pop-up message will appear on your GUI screen after
loading is completed. The message will also advise what type of reboot is required.
If a software reboot is needed, you will see a message asking if you want to reboot your system now or
later. If you click Yes, your system will be rebooted.
A power cycle, or cold reboot, requires that the system must be shut down for at least 60 seconds before
powering on using the Power-On buttons on the appliance.
