Do I have to remove A6795A HBA's firmware before the upgrade?

Hanry Zhou — Mon, 05 May 2008 17:59:15 GMT

I am going to upgrade the firmware to 11.23.0803 from 11.23.03, do I have to swremove first before swinstall the new version?

11.23 and Itninume server.

Do you talk about the driver software?

No need to de-install, just install the new version. The installer (swinstall) will handle the upgrade.

Firmware is a different story ...

Firmware on what ? IO/HBA, ILO/MP, CPUs ?

Typically following the firmware installation instructions is the best recommendation.

It is going to be HBA driver. As torsten sussged, I will just run swinstall
