Upgrade all your HPE P2000 G3 MSA Array Systems to TS250 or the latest released firmware version before flashing with TS252. See the firmware release notes for all firmware updates. This package contains the firmware upgrade for HPE P2000 G3 MSA storage arrays which includes array controller.
I know that it is EOL, but is the firmware on the latest version? If the P2000 is hosting a VMware vSphere 4.1+ environment, it is highly recommended to upgrade the controller firmware to take advantage of the VMware VAAI features if the current firmware is not yet at a sufficient level (that is TS230R044 or better.). We'd purchased HP P2000 back in Spring of 2013.
