Upgrading OA to 2.41 from 2.25?

AmyB — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 21:41:40 GMT

I have several enclosures on 2.25. Should I upgrade the OA to 2.32 before going up to 2.41?

to avoid issues go first to 2.32 and then jump to 2.41.

Is there any valid reason for that ? Did not notice anything in installation instructions.

Remember to upgrade your ILOs to 1.70 first.

I had an enclosure that was several versions behind and it would not install the latest OA. I had to update to the 3 previous versions, before installing the latest. I was hoping this wasn't the case since they are only one version behind.

I have already updated the iLo's and most of the BIOS.

You can update the OA Directly from 2.25 to 2.41. It works fine.

Make sure you bring the BIOS and iLO firmware to the levels supported by 2.32 before you go to 2.41

No problem at all.
Just keep below mentioned in mind.
Onboard Administrator v2.32 & v2.41 MUST have the latest ROM and iLO versions installed, due to the new â Dynamic Power Capping functionality introduced in OA v2.31 and OA v2.32. Upgrade the ROM and iLO versions first before upgrading to OA v2.32 or OA v2.41

After I upgraded a few enclosures to 2.41 I noticed that the power supplies where not showing up correctly or listing in "good" condition. Nobody else has experienced this?
I downgraded and am holding at 2.32
Thx

Rob..... check your HP supplier as there are some c-class blades psus from a batch that was recalled. Maybe this is why they dont show up.

Amy,

No problem!
From 2.25 you can directly upgrade to 2.41 without problems
