SolutionFor which component ?
Definition;
Software that is embedded in a hardware device that allows reading and executing the software, but does not allow modification
I would use stm to get most levels for hardware, for eg
#cstm
>map
(select a device using the number on the left side of the ouput from map
> sel device <#number>
>info
(wait for a few seconds)
>infolog
(this will show you device information and firmware level if applicable)
The above can be done from via the shell
echo 'sel device 98;info;wait;infolog' | cstm
or you can do the above specifying a classifer
echo 'sel class mem;info;wait;infolog' | cstm

Re: Firmware Version & Updates
Thanks for the information.
If we do not update the Firmware (H/W device), is this going to slow down the box or can cause some hardware/software failures?
Thanks,
Nikee

Re: Firmware Version & Updates
It is a good idea to update firmware as this will aid in higher availabiltiy of your systems.

Re: Firmware Version & Updates
As Chris mentions, a firmware upgrade can resolve issues with bugs and improve functionality/performance. In other cases ensure that the hardware is compatible with new devices that are installed as either part of an upgrade or a general fix following failure.

Re: Firmware Version & Updates
Can we install the Firmware updates or only the HP support engineers can perform this?
Thanks,

Re: Firmware Version & Updates
as Steve has mentioned you need to ensure that the update is compatable with the hardware.
If in doubt raise a HP support call.

Re: Firmware Version & Updates
1) CPU updates can be applied via a patch through SD
2) GSP firwmare is done at the GSP level.
We have executed this many times and all were successfull. The instructions supplied witht the GSP firmware are good and the CPU patching is as simple as any other patch.
There have been a number of problems fixed by firmware updates. Keeping the firmware up to date is just as important as the patches. Just don't be too aggressive. Let someone else find the problems with the bleeding edge fixes first.
Good luck.
