To upgrade the storage\u00a0HP MSA 2040<\/a>\u00a0firmware when the web management console is not accessible, the use of FTP protocol can solve the problem.<\/p>\n

The storage can be easily managed via HTTP\/HTTPS<\/strong> protocols but buggy firmware or problems in the controller\u00a0can impede the access to the web console making the HP MSA 2040 firmware upgrade hard to perform.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"msa2040firmwareupgftp02\"<\/p>\n

What if you need to upgrade the SAN firmware<\/strong> and the web management console is not accessible? FTP is the answer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Procedure<\/h2>\n

Before proceeding with firmware upgrade, it's suggested to have a full backup of the storage<\/strong> to avoid any problem. If the SAN is equipped with a single controller<\/strong>, the I\/O in the storage should be reduced at minimum before starting the\u00a0upgrade.<\/p>\n

Using a tool like PuTTY or KiTTY, connect the SAN controller via Telnet <\/strong>and type the credentials to login.<\/p>\n

\"msa2040firmwareupgftp03\"<\/p>\n

Since the web access\u00a0is not available, check the HTTP\/HTTPS protocols <\/strong>to verify their status. Use the following command:<\/p>\n

# show protocols<\/span><\/p>\n

\"msa2040firmwareupgftp04\"<\/p>\n

If they are enabled, something wrong occurred in the controller. To fix this issue it's suggested to disable both HTTP\/HTTPS protocols<\/strong> before applying the new firmware.<\/p>\n

# set protocols http disabled
\n<\/span># set protocols https disabled <\/span><\/p>\n

\"msa2040firmwareupgftp05\"<\/p>\n

Check protocols status to verify they have been disabled.<\/p>\n

# show protocols<\/span><\/p>\n

\"msa2040firmwareupgftp06\"<\/p>\n

Now from the HP website<\/a> download the correct firmware and copy the .bin file to a directory<\/strong> in your local drive.<\/p>\n

\"msa2040firmwareupgftp07\"<\/p>\n

From Windows, open the Command Prompt<\/strong> and navigate to the directory (i.e. msa) where the firmware .bin<\/strong> file has been copied.<\/p>\n

c:\\>cd msa
\nc:\\>dir<\/span><\/p>\n

\"msa2040firmwareupgftp08\"<\/p>\n

Connect the SAN controller using the FTP<\/strong> protocol to proceed with firmware upgrade.<\/p>\n

C:\\>ftp san-msa2040b<\/span><\/p>\n

\"msa2040firmwareupgftp09\"<\/p>\n

Type username and password then press ENTER<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"msa2040firmwareupgftp10\"<\/p>\n

Write down the firmware filename .bin<\/strong> just downloaded then enter the command to flash the connected controller.<\/p>\n

put <filename> flash<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

# put GL101R001.bin flash<\/span><\/p>\n

\"msa2040firmwareupgftp11\"<\/p>\n

The process takes some seconds to complete. Check the status<\/strong>\u00a0message for any problem.<\/p>\n

\"msa2040firmwareupgftp12\"<\/p>\n

Quit the FTP session and connect the controller via Telnet<\/strong> once again to check the protocols status<\/strong>. Because HTTP\/HTTPS protocols were previously disabled, you have to enable them.<\/p>\n

# set protocols https enabled
\n# set protocols http enabled<\/span><\/p>\n

\"msa2040firmwareupgftp13\"<\/p>\n

Now using your browser try accessing the MSA management console<\/strong> typing the correct address. The web management console\u00a0should be accessible again.<\/p>\n

\"msa2040firmwareupgftp14\"<\/p>\n

With this simple procedure the firmware has been upgraded successfully and the web accessibility restored.<\/p>\n
