I have one rx2600 server.

Can I update my rx2600 with rx2620 firmware?

Here's the firmware description I downloaded..

rx2620 System, BMC, and iLO MP Firmware - 03.10 (HPUX 11i v2) [English]

and here's my sysrev...

Current firmware revisions
MP FW : E.02.23
BMC FW : 01.53
EFI FW : 01.22
System FW : 02.31

Any help will be appreciated..
Thanks

Why would you want to do that?
I don't think it will work, the RX2620 has a different mainboard then the RX2600.
Your firmware is quite old, just download the latest RX2600 FW and upgrade it.

Hi,

You SHOULD NOT use System and BMC firmware of rx2620 on rx2600 as these firmwares are server hardware specific. rx2620 has different hardware architecture than rx2600. You SHOULD use rx2600 firmwares only. However, as mentioned in the Release Notes, recent MP/iLO firmware is same across some of the servers.

The installed MP FW is quite old, current version is E.03.15. Current System firmware is 02.31A.

Refer the following link and go through the release notes before updating the FWs.

Thanks for your answers...
I'm wondering that rx2620 f/w can be installed on rx2600.

Thank you again.
