Updating scsi EFI HDD firmware on integrity servers:

Hi, if like me you are triying to find and install the latest firmware for your scsi disks, so you can install 11.31 on your rx....

Here is a quick guide:

1. Check the model and firmware revision of your Disks:

unix:/# diskinfo -v /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0
SCSI describe of /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0:
vendor: HP 146 G
product id: ST3146707LC
type: direct access
size: 143374744 Kbytes
bytes per sector: 512
rev level: HPC1 <-------- We need HPC2

2.Go to the web and download the Integrity Server Embedded Disk Products:

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp...

You can also do a search for Integrity Server Embedded Disk Products in:

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/ProductRoot.jsp?lang=en...

3.Upload the software to the EFI partition of a disk:

You may need superuser privileges. Download "PF_DIPFSC0307EFI.tar.gz" and
FTP to the /tmp/disk_fw directory on the server requiring the firmware
update. Create the directory if it doesn't exist.
Use 'gunzip' to unzip the file:
#gunzip PF_DIPFSC0307EFI.tar.gz
Use the 'tar' command to extract the files and directories:
#tar -xvf PF_DIPFSC0307EFI.tar
#efi_ls -d /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s1 EFI/HP
FileName Last Modified Size
. 1/30/2009 0
.. 1/30/2009 0
TOOLS/ 1/30/2009 0
#efi_mkdir -d /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s1 EFI/HP/FIRMWARE
#efi_cp -d /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s1 *.efi EFI/HP/FIRMWARE/
#efi_cp -d /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s1 ST3146707LC2 EFI/HP/FIRMWARE/
#efi_cp -d /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s1 ST3146707LCHPC2.nsh EFI/HP/FIRMWARE/
#reboot

4.Reboot the server and go into the EFI shell, Launch the script for your disk model and you are ready to go:

fs0:\EFI\HP\FIRMWARE> ls
