Aquarius NE430 Driver



This is a story that is, superficially, both a little tragic and a little funny. The finished result by the amateur restorer is so awful that it's almost amusing, but the damage to an artist's work naturally offends our sensibilities and we feel for the man (no longer with us).

Reboot Requirement:
Reboot is required after installation for updates to take effect and hardware stability to be maintained.

Installation:

To update firmware from Linux operating system on target server:

Updating firmware with rpm installed:

  • Install the firmware rpm using the command: rpm -ivh <rpm_filename>. This extracts the contents of the rpm to the '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu' location
  • The CP033363.scexe script is located in the 'scexe-compat' folder. The actual name of the 'firmware-smartarray-46a4d957a7-*' folder is based on the version of the rpm installed in the first step above
  • To install firmware, you can execute ONE of the following commands:

# ./CP033363.scexe in the '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/scexe-compat' location (OR)

# ./setup in the '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/firmware-smartarray-46a4d957a7-*' location

  • The results of the firmware upgrade are saved to the Component.log file, located in the /var/cpq/ directory
  • To uninstall the rpm, run the command: rpm -e <rpm_package_name>, which is the rpm filename without the '.rpm' extension

Updating firmware without installing the rpm:

  • Extract the contents of the rpm using the command: rpm2cpio <rpm_filename>.rpm | cpio -id. This extracts the contents of the rpm to 'usr' folder in the current directory
  • Navigate to the 'usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/firmware-smartarray-46a4d957a7-*' location and run ./setup to update the firmware. The actual name of the 'firmware-smartarray-46a4d957a7-*' folder is based on the version of the rpm installed in the step above
  • The results of the firmware upgrade are saved to the Component.log file, located in the /var/cpq/ directory

Additional Information:

Installing the firmware rpm package (rpm -ivh) does not update the firmware. It merely extracts the rpm content to the local system. Updating the firmware on the local system requires following the above outlined steps

To use HP Smart Update Manager from the Service Pack for ProLiant:
Offline:

  • Place the Service Pack for ProLiant on a USB key using the USB Key Utility for Windows.
  • Place the desired firmware to be updated in the directory, /SPP20xxxxx/packages on the USB key.
  • Boot from the newly created Service Pack for Proliant USB key.
  • Follow Smart Update Manager steps to complete firmware update.

Online:

  • Login as root. (You must be root in order to apply the ROM update.)
  • Place the desired firmware to be updated in the directory, /SPP20xxxxx/packages
  • Run launch_sum.sh script which is found in the root of the ISO
  • Follow the instructions on the screen

Upgrade Requirement:
Recommended - HPE recommends users update to this version at their earliest convenience.

Important:

  • When booting a system running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1 Operating System, the HP Smart Array controllers might not be recognized. This issue is due to changes in the OS where the sg driver is no longer loaded during system boot. The work around for this issue is to manually issue a 'modprobe sg' command which should load the sg driver. After the sg driver is loaded, the /dev/sg* devices should be present and the sg driver can be used to access SCSI devices.

Drive temperatures for SATA drives might not be reported after hot-inserting the drive.


Version:7.02 (B) (7 Apr 2016)

Upgrade Requirement:
Recommended - HPE recommends users update to this version at their earliest convenience.

Problems Fixed in 7.02:

  • A physical drive configured as a spare drive might indicate predictive failure sooner than expected.
  • Controller might stop responding during run-time (POST Lockup 0x13).
  • When drive write-cache is enabled, protocol errors are observed.
  • After hot-plug replacement of a hard disk drive, incorrect hard disk drive firmware version and upgrade recommendation were displayed by HP Smart Storage Administrator.

  • Component would fail to install firmware in a system configured with two or more external drive enclosures attached to an HPE Host Bus Adapter H22x. The following message would be reported - “Device appears more than once in tree”. The firmware installation failure was not observed in configurations having only one external drive enclosure attached to an HPE Host Bus Adapter H22x.

Version:7.02 (1 Apr 2016)

Upgrade Requirement:
Recommended - HPE recommends users update to this version at their earliest convenience.

  • A physical drive configured as a spare drive might indicate predictive failure sooner than expected.
  • Controller might stop responding during run-time (POST Lockup 0x13).

  • After hot-plug replacement of a hard disk drive, incorrect hard disk drive firmware version and upgrade recommendation were displayed by HP Smart Storage Administrator.

Version:6.68 (1 Oct 2015)

Upgrade Requirement:
Recommended - HPE recommends users update to this version at their earliest convenience.

  • HP Smart Array Px2x controller with HP SmartCache enabled on boot volume could potentially encounter file corruption when booting the system if the Super-cap is not fully charged due to being replaced or being in a power down condition for several days (Example 7 days). File corruption is less likely to occur on non-boot volumes than on boot volumes. For additional information please refer to the customer advisory # c04719000

  • I/O may halt when the drive write cache is enabled.

  • Increased performance for tape drives when using variable block sizes.

Version:6.64 (15 Jun 2015)

Upgrade Requirement:
Recommended - HP recommends users update to this version at their earliest convenience.

  • An intermittent aborted IO request with attached SATA drives resulted in a LUN (Logical Unit Number) reset.
  • When using SATA drives with a Px2x controller, the server may stop responding or shut down after an extended period of time due to a controller lockup (POST Lockup 0xAB).

Version:6.34 (6 Apr 2015)

Upgrade Requirement:
Critical - HP requires users update to this version immediately.

Problems Fixed:

  • Critical issue for all UEFI systems using 2.2 TB or greater volumes configured with GPT partitions. For additional information please refer to the customer advisory # c04602001
  • When a controller was set to RAID6 mode and a large number of recoverable errors were generated by hard disk drives in the system, the controller might go into a degraded mode and cease to function. A 0x0E error message would display during POST on subsequent power cycle and in the Integrated Management Log (IML)
  • The controller would report 0xE0 error to HP Smart Storage Administrator (HP SSA) and would cease to function when set to RAID 6 mode
  • Intermittent SSD SATA 6G drive failures would occur when drive was configured in Bay 1 of HP ProLiant BL465 Gen8 Server
  • Uncorrectable ECC errors would cause the controller to stop responding (Lockup 0x13). This version of Smart Array firmware properly calculates the maximum controller memory bandwidth required to sustain streaming write operations with the current logical drive configuration and reduces the cache memory speed on configurations that do not require peak controller memory bandwidth. When running at the slower memory speed, less power is consumed and performance degradation is expected to be negligible. For additional information, reference Customer Advisory # c03755983
  • The HP D2220sb Storage Blade is not recognized when configuring it with the HP ProLiant BL460c Gen9 Server Blade. For additional information please refer to the customer advisory # c04602866
