Enter the following command to update the firmware of a component: #hpsp_fmt --flash

Then go to step 5.

Perform the flash operation with the --force option (—flash –c <component name>

displays Success (Reboot Pending), reboot the node to activate the component’s
updated firmware.

You can defer the reboot operation if you want to update the firmware on other components
first.

CAUTION:

For some components in StoreAll 9320/9300, prequisites must be addressed

before performing a firmware update. The FMT lists the prerequisites and prompts for the
user’s confirmation that prerequisites have been addressed before performing the update.

The following sections show examples of updating firmware on each supported component
on the StoreAll 9320 and 9300 platforms. The examples assume the flash update
recommendation subcommand (in step 1) has already been executed.
