You might want to check the release notes for upgrade paths http://h17007.www1.hpe.com/us/en/enterprise/servers/solutions/info-library/index.aspx?cat=bladesystem&subcat=vc#.WAZBjfkrLmE

You should also plan to update the OA, iLO, network and FC controller and server ROM firmware. Basically plan for an outage if you can. Most of the issues in upgrading across many releases involve the VC configuration. You want to make a config backup at each update step so that if you have to you can go back to the original config.

The following document can help with this:
