storage systems only)

Module Installation Requirements

To ensure that the HBAs can negotiate I/O paths with the

MSA500 G2 controllers, always install the most recent

firmware for the 4-Port Shared Storage Module, the controller,

and the HBAs:

For HBA firmware upgrade procedures, refer to the

controller documentation that ships with the hardware.

For controller and Shared Storage Module firmware

upgrade procedures, refer to the HP website

(http://www.hp.com/support/proliantstorage).

Installing the 4-Port Shared

Storage Module

CAUTION: In systems that use external data

storage, be sure that the server is the first unit to be

powered down and the last to be powered back up. Taking

this precaution ensures that the system does not

erroneously mark the drives as failed when the server is

powered up.
