Upgrading HP System and Array Controller firmware document in screenshots

I confess that when I first started out, I had no idea how to upgrade system firmware. I started making the offline floppy disks and slowly started to experiment with the online upgrades. I remember having to do a SCSI disk firmware upgrade with 19 floppy disks or something as a Compaq Proliant 2500 was complaining that the disk firmware was too old for my newly upgraded Smart Array 2DH controller running at 4.5.

With this in mind, I’ve made these two documents showing the process to upgrade the firmware online, what screen shots will appear what happens and what to expect or may occur. I’ve named them Array and System. System is about upgrading the system firmware (the bios), Array is about upgrading the firmware on the array controller, the concept for the ILO/ILO2 is the same as are the screens you will see.

I’ve updated the HP firmware and documentation pages to host these documents as well.
