V.P — Wed, 26 May 2010 04:17:39 GMT

Dear Admins,
We are planning for a HBA firmware upgradation.
Please help to get the details of the below queries.

1) Which is the latest version?
2) Any prerequisites for the upgradation?
3) Whether we need to take any backup data/config files?

EMC : DMX3
Tape library : MSL6000
HPUX 11.23

Thanks in advance.

1) Which is the latest version?

Of what???
What HBA do you have?

With HP-UX you normally need a current driver only, unless you boot over this card.

In case of an ia64 server you probably need the card firmware and EFI driver too:
