“HPE strongly recommends immediate application of this critical fix. Neglecting to update to SSD Firmware Version HPD8 will result in drive failure and data loss at 32,768 hours of operation and require restoration of data from backup in non-fault tolerance, such as RAID 0 and in fault tolerance RAID mode if more drives fail than what is supported by the fault tolerance RAID mode logical drive. By disregarding this notification and not performing the recommended resolution, the customer accepts the risk of incurring future related errors,” HPE says.
An unnamed SSD maker notified HPE of the firmware defect that could cause so much trouble. It affects a bunch of SAS SSD models used in HPE server and storage products, such as HPE’s ProLiant, Synergy, Apollo, JPOD, D3xxx, D6xxx, D8xxx, MSA, StoreVirtual 4335, and StoreVirtual 3200 products.
Firmware versions prior to HPD8 are problematic. There are 20 SSDs affected in all, including the following models…
- VO0480JFDGT (480GB)
- VO0960JFDGU (960GB)
- VO1920JFDGV (1.92TB)
- VO3840JFDHA (3.84TB)
- MO0400JFFCF (400GB)
- MO0800JFFCH (800GB)
- MO1600JFFCK (1.6TB)
- MO3200JFFCL (3.2TB)
- VO000480JWDAR (480GB)
- VO000960JWDAT (960GB)
- VO001920JWDAU (1.92TB)
- VO003840JWDAV (3.84TB)
- VO007680JWCNK (7.68TB)
- VO015300JWCNL (15.3TB)
- VK000960JWSSQ (960GB)
- VK001920JWSSR (1.92TB)
- VK003840JWSST (3.84TB)
