EFI is part of the firmware (it is included).

Check if you need to upgrade the systems firmware.

The rx2600 system has firmware for MP, BMC and System FW. Are you referring to this firmware? The firmware is located in :

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=15351&prodSeriesId=447335&swItem=ux-46490-1&prodNameId=88839&swEnvOID=54&swLang=13&taskId=135&mode=3

If not, there are EFI drivers for different type of adapters in an Integrity server. If you are looking for EFI driver for the A6795A Fibre Channel Adapter, it is located here :

I think you are referring to EFI F/W as in "sysrev" command result like
MP FW : E.03.30
BMC FW : 01.53
EFI FW : 01.22
System FW : 02.31

The EFI FW is included in SFW besides EFI drivers. So to update EFI FW, you need to make use of the SFW FW. Moreover it is recommended to upgrade other firmwares like BMC and iLO MP as there are compatible/qualified with each other

HI.. the EFI Fw Version is older version Fw needs to updated please follow the link given in the above msg and download below version Fw,
EFI FW : 01.22

Steps to update:
The Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) Image solution is an offline firmware update process for HP Integrity systems.
It provides the user with written procedures, which guides the user through step-by-step instructions such as copying the EFI image onto an EFI disk partition, shutting down the system, and then running the EFI image to update the firmware at the EFI boot Manager.
