By downloading, you agree to the terms and conditions of the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Software License Agreement. Note: Some software requires a valid warranty, current Hewlett Packard Enterprise support contract, or a license fee.
This package contains the firmware upgrade for HP P2000 G3 MSA storage arrays which includes array controller firmware and approved companion versions of drive enclosure firmware. When installing array controller firmware, the process will also update firmware on attached drive enclosures. This firmware can be installed from any computer running a supported Windows operating system with an Ethernet connection to the HP P2000 G3 MSA Storage Array. IMPORTANT: Beginning with TS230, firmware for all HP P2000 G3 MSA System controllers was merged into a common firmware stream, used on all protocols of P2000 G3 MSA controllers.
The following enhancement is added in the TS250P002 firmware release:
Storage Management Utility (SMU) localization in Simplified Chinese, Chinese Traditional, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Korean, Spanish, and Japanese.
The following features were added or enhanced in the TS250R021 firmware release:
Added the ability to change the link speed (100Mbps, 10Mbps) and duplex (half, full) mode of the controller management port.
After a reconstruction completes, an event is now logged that includes the number of unrecoverable errors, if any.
When event 173 'An error was reported by a disk' is reported due to a vdisk being dequarantined, the message now includes the state of the vdisk and indicates whether the dequarantine was automatic or was requested manually.
In the CLI, the trust command now indicates disks that are out-of-sync, the age of the disk to indicate how far out of sync it is, and disks that were used for reconstruction but where reconstruction did not complete. The user is given the choice to include the out-of-sync or partially reconstructed disks, to exclude them, or to abort. If no out-of-sync or partially reconstructed disks are present, the command continues without a prompt.
The Clear Disk Metadata function of the SMU now prompts to confirm the operation, allowing the user a chance to reconsider the possibly destructive results of the operation.
Included instructions for obtaining historical performance data in the FTP prompt.
Fibre Channel soft loop IDs are now retained during controller failover and failback.
Please refer to the Release Notes for more details.
When attempting to install or update a supported system with Online ROM Flash Component for Windows - HP P2000 G3 MSA Arrays version TS250P002, the system needs to be updated with Online ROM Flash Component for Windows - HP P2000 G3 MSA Arrays version TS251P006-02, if any of the following errors occur:
'This program has been blocked for your protection'
'Blocked'
'Not Trusted'
MSIExec installation error (Return code: 1625)
'The recommended software listed below could not be installed…'
Prerequisites:
NOTE: Firmware upgrade must be performed from a supported Windows or Linux client (using the corresponding Windows or Linux smart component) that has network connectivity to the array being upgraded.
WARNING!: Do not power cycle or restart devices during a firmware update. If the update is interrupted or there is a power failure, the module could become inoperative. If this occurs, contact technical support. The module may need to be returned to the factory for reprogramming.
CAUTION: Before upgrading firmware, ensure that the storage system configuration is stable and is not being reconfigured or changed in any way. If changes are in progress, monitor them and wait until they are completed before proceeding with the upgrade.
IMPORTANT: In a single-controller system, updating firmware causes all disks to be temporarily inaccessible. Stop I/O to vdisks before performing this operation.
IMPORTANT: FTP and telnet services must be enabled on the arrays being updated and the corresponding client interfaces enabled on the host system where the smart component is being executed.
NOTE: Allow approximately 30 minutes for the firmware to load and for the automatic restart to complete on the controller you are connected to. Wait for the progress messages to specify that the update has completed. In dual-controller systems with Partner Firmware Update enabled, allow an additional hour for the update to complete on the second controller. (Updating the second controller usually takes 30 minutes to complete, but may take as long as one hour.) All firmware flash progress messages are logged to %systemdrive%CPQSYSTEMLogcpqsetup.log on Windows and to /var/cpq/Component.log on Linux. A final completion message will be displayed. The Smart Component will manage the FTP and Partner Firmware Update (PFU) enable/disable settings.
NOTE: This Firmware Smart Component will not inter-operate with HP Smart Update Manager (HP SUM) or with the HP Smart Update Firmware DVD (formerly Firmware Maintenance CD).
To ensure the integrity of your download, HPE recommends verifying your results with this SHA-256 Checksum value:
Reboot Requirement: Reboot is not required after installation for updates to take effect and hardware stability to be maintained.
Installation:
Select and schedule an appropriate time to perform an online upgrade: For redundant controller systems, to ensure the success of an online upgrade, selecting the appropriate time is essential. Because the online firmware upgrade is performed while host I/Os are being serviced, the I/O load can impact the upgrade process. Selecting a period of low I/O activity will ensure the upgrade completes as quickly as possible, and will avoid disruptions to hosts and applications due to timeouts.
As with any other firmware upgrade it is a recommended best practice to ensure that you have a full backup prior to the upgrade.

Important Firmware Notes
If you intend to use Windows Dynamic Disk (software RAID) on top of your hardware RAID there are some cautions to be considered. For more information, see the section 'Real World: Dynamic versus Basic Disks' in the topic at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd163558.aspx.
Failover and failback times are affected by the number of system volumes; the more volumes there are on the system, the more time is required for failover and failback to complete.
When changing a replication set (for example, adding or removing a replication volume, or deleting the replication set), do so from the source system; when aborting, suspending or resuming a replication, do so from the destination system.
When changing the external-view volume of a replication set, do so from the destination system first, then perform the change on the source system.
MSA70 disk enclosures are supported for use with P2000 G3 arrays running TS230 or later firmware, but must have firmware 2.28 installed. For more information on MSA70 firmware compatibility with different P2000 G3 array firmware versions, see the QuickSpecs for the MSA70 or P2000 G3, or see the HP 60/70 Modular Smart Array Enclosure Firmware 2.28 Release Notes.
For the FC/iSCSI MSA Controller, mapping a volume via iSCSI and FC to the same server is not a supported configuration. Many operating systems’ multipath solutions will not correctly handle the multi-protocols. Do not map a LUN in this manner.
Supported Devices and Features:
All HP P2000 G3 MSA Array Systems
Upgrade Requirement: Recommended - HPE recommends users update to this version at their earliest convenience.
The following issue was fixed in TS250P002:
Fixed the problem with aborting Atomic Test-andSet (ATS) commands.
Fixed the hanging controller issue that is seen during several iterations of the VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) failover and failback process.
Fixed the Atomic Test-and-Set logic that set the incorrect error state condition and subsequently crash the array controllers.
A trust failure no longer clears the partially reconstructed state of a HDD.
Partner Firmware Update (PFU) now functions properly when the new Management Controller (MC) version matches the old MC version.
All events are now properly processed by HP SIM.
The following issue was fixed in TS250R023:
After installing TS250R021, the controller CompactFlash may be set to Write-Through mode, causing reduced system performance.
The following issues were fixed in TS250R021:
Alerts indicating that a disk channel has gone into a degraded state have been modified so that the normal reduction of channel speed due to intermittent noise should no longer generate a Warning alert.
Preliminary reporting of a supercap overcharge failing condition was removed.
When the array received a DHCP address from a DHCP server, it responded with a unique hostname, which displayed in the DHCP server. This unique hostname overwrote the hostname supplied by the DHCP server in option 012.
Hyper-V servers could not be migrated to P2000 G3 storage systems. Support for Hyper-V Live Migration has been added.
P2000 G3 storage systems were not discovered by Storage Essentials software.
Controllers were unresponsive to CLI requests for up to 30 minutes after a firmware update.
For SMI-S, inconsistent data was provided for the CIM_AuthorizedPrivilege instance.
SMI-S queries might fail if Small Footprint CIM Broker daemons are restarted after a memory threshold limit is reached. After enabling either SMI-S protocol, the SMI-S service on the array will now consistently start.
Please refer to the Release Notes for more details.
NOTE: Firmware upgrade must be performed from a supported Windows or Linux client (using the corresponding Windows or Linux smart component) that has network connectivity to the array being upgraded.
