Fixes
Upgrade Requirement:
Recommended - HPE recommends users update to this version at their earliest convenience.
- Implemented a stripe lock algorithm to avoid potential data write errors observed during rare instances of background surface analysis initialization and I/O writes occurring on Raid 1 or Raid 1+0 volumes. This has only been observed in a rigorous test environment and has not been reported in a production environment.
- Fixed an abnormal volume state issue where under certain rare conditions, a replacement drive that is in a rebuilding state in a RAID 1 or RAID 1+0 configuration may be marked 'OK', prior to completing the rebuilding process.
- Included additional changes in the SCSI ID detection algorithm for server configurations involving duplex backplanes.

Upgrade Requirement:
Optional - Users should update to this version if their system is affected by one of the documented fixes or if there is a desire to utilize any of the enhanced functionality provided by this version.
- Updated recommended hard drive firmware list with models that have been experiencing excessive SCSI command timeouts. When one of these drives is present, user will see a POST message recommending he upgrade the drive’s firmware. Failure to upgrade may result in the bus down-shifting from Ultra 320 to Ultra 3.
Version:2.74(A)(10 Jan 2007)
Upgrade Requirement:
Recommended - HPE recommends users update to this version at their earliest convenience.
1. Added POST messages informing users to upgrade their HDD firmware for certain models of hard drives to the latest available firmware version on the HP web site.
Version:2.68(A)(8 Jun 2006)
Upgrade Requirement:
Recommended - HPE recommends users update to this version at their earliest convenience.
1. Fixed an issue that can occur during configuration (with the ACU) of an MSA20 or MSA500. In a Windows environment, the issue can result in a blue-screen condition.
2. Disabled a function designed to detect a condition where a SCSI disk drive unexpectedly changes its SCSI ID. This function was previously part of the FW for the SA-6400, SA-641 and SA-642 only.Version:2.58(B)(6 May 2006)
Upgrade Requirement:
Recommended - HPE recommends users update to this version at their earliest convenience.
1. Fixed an issue with the component installer that may cause this component to not be recognized under the Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE). If you have previously upgraded to version 2.58 firmware another update is not needed.
1. Added support for the controller firmware to place a Monitoring and Performance stamp (M&P) on the disk drive, if it is missing from the drive.
Version:2.48(A)(30 Aug 2005)
Upgrade Requirement:
Recommended - HPE recommends users update to this version at their earliest convenience.
Updated the battery charging firmware to reduce the frequency and duration of battery charging cycles. This helps prevent overcharging the battery, which can contribute to premature battery failures. This also reduces the time required for a battery recharge cycle to complete.
Version:2.36(A)(26 Jan 2005)
Upgrade Requirement:
Recommended - HPE recommends users update to this version at their earliest convenience.
Fixed an interrupt handling issue that can cause a server to reboot when using Microsoft Remote Installation Services (RIS). For more details, refer to Customer Advisory EM041123_CW01
Version:2.34(A)(17 Dec 2004)
Upgrade Requirement:
Recommended - HPE recommends users update to this version at their earliest convenience.
Fixed an issue where the battery status may be falsely reported as “failed” even though the cache module is “enabled.” Refer to Customer Advisory EX040528_CW01 for additional information.

Version:2.84(A) (15 Jul 2008)
Upgrade Requirement:
Version:2.80(B)(23 Jan 2008) Upgrade Requirement:
Updated the component installer. If you have previously updated to version 2.80, another update is not needed.
Version:2.80(A)(25 Sep 2007) Upgrade Requirement:
Version:2.76(A)(20 Mar 2007) Upgrade Requirement:
Version:2.74(A)(10 Jan 2007) Upgrade Requirement:
1. Fixed an issue where Windows Server x64 would hang or blue screen when the Smart Array driver is installed or upgraded on a system that has greater than 7GB RAM.
2. Fixed Array behavior to prevent unwanted device migrations by detecting conditions, where a SCSI disk drive unexpectedly changes its SCSI ID.
3. Fixed an issue where inquiries to the logical drive would succeed even after the drive is physically removed.
1. Added POST messages informing users to upgrade their HDD firmware for certain models of hard drives to the latest available firmware version on the HP web site.

If you have previously upgraded to version 2.58 firmware another update is not needed.
2. Fixed an issue that causes the HP Insight Management Agents to display incorrect characters for the DL360 G4.
3. Improved event messages when the Smart Array 6400 is installed with two MSA20 enclosures. 'Box 1' or 'Box 2' is indicated in the event message for a disk drive removal or failure event.
4. Modified the PCI-X timing to prevent the Smart Array 641/642 and 6i from possibly becoming unresponsive during read requests when installed in a ProLiant DL760G2.
1. Added support for the controller firmware to place a Monitoring and Performance stamp (M&P) on the disk drive, if it is missing from the drive.
2. Added split-mirroring support and a mirroring re-synchronization feature. This allows a RAID 1 volume to be split into two RAID 0 volumes and then combine the two RAID 0 volumes into a single RAID 1 volume.
3. Added an enhancement to allow an occasional SCSI command timeout without downshifting the SCSI bus to a lower speed.
4. Enhanced performance for drive rebuilds and RAID 5 and RAID 6 (ADG) configurations.
5. Added support for the 512MB Battery-Backed Write Cache (BBWC) option.
6. Added POST message 1717 'Disk Drive(s) Reporting OVERHEATED Condition'.
7. Updated POST message 1794 'Array Accelerator batteries have failed to charge and should be replaced'. This POST message will now display if this condition has occurred when no logical volumes are present or if cache has already been disabled.
Version:2.48(A)(30 Aug 2005) Upgrade Requirement: Updated the battery charging firmware to reduce the frequency and duration of battery charging cycles. This helps prevent overcharging the battery, which can contribute to premature battery failures. This also reduces the time required for a battery recharge cycle to complete.
Updated the battery firmware to improve the sensing and reporting of battery health. This helps prevent battery status messages from alternating or indicating false status.
Updated the battery firmware to reduce the chances of deep discharging the battery. This helps to maintain the capacity of the battery in the event data was trapped in the cache over the specified backup duration.
Updated the battery firmware to keep the charge capacity during a controller firmware update. This helps prevent the inconvenience of battery back write cache becoming temporarily disabled due to a required recharge following a battery firmware update.
Version:2.36(A)(26 Jan 2005) Upgrade Requirement: Fixed an interrupt handling issue that can cause a server to reboot when using Microsoft Remote Installation Services (RIS). For more details, refer to Customer Advisory EM041123_CW01 Version:2.34(A)(17 Dec 2004) Upgrade Requirement: Fixed an issue where the battery status may be falsely reported as “failed” even though the cache module is “enabled.” Refer to Customer Advisory EX040528_CW01 for additional information.
