VCA Problem - Out of date firmware is shown as upto date!!

MC1903 — Wed, 03 Nov 2004 16:37:10 GMT

Hi,

Is it me or is there something wrong with the VCA on my server?

Take a look at the attached .jpg & you will understand what I mean.

The "Online ROM Flash Component for Windows - HP ProLiant DL360 G3 (P31)" IS out of date - but the VCA is giving me the GREEN check mark!

Has any one else seem this or am I just the 'lucky' one?

Any ideas why this happened? And, yes, I know I can fix it by running the upgrade - that's not my question.

Interesting - same result here for both DL360 G3s and DL380 G3s.
In all cases the new Firmware variant is 2004.09.15
I've also a Server that's a couple of firmware versions behind and it's true of that as well.

Please report a case to customer services so this can be escalated. This forum is not an official reporting mechanism.

Hi David,

I would if I though it might actually do some good!

It may be different over in the USA, but my experience of reporting software issues to UK support is that I am wasting my time.

I have found that the attitude of the support tech is normally one of complete indifference to my problem. Unless it's a hardware fault or a know software issue, they seem unable/unwilling to help out or to pass it up to any product development team/manager.
I can wait for someone to 'find' & fix the problem - after all it probably is a typo in the MNF (XML) file for that CP.!

Kind Regards,

Martin.

just a sidenote: In germany it's the same. I had an issue with the not appearing Menubar and buttons in HPSIM (which was due to a bug in the software), and HP just told me that the Software is "unsupported".

Hello,

have had the same problem. Now updated to Smart Start 7.10 and Sim 4.2.

Now the versions are displayed correctly. The update from 4.0 to 4.2 worked out-of-the-box.
