Virtual connect firmware update from old version to the latest version

 

Is it possible to upgrade Virtual Connect firmware from ver 2.32 to the latest ver 3.60?  

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  

 

Thanks!

Take a look at these two links:  http://h30507.www3.hp.com/t5/Coffee-Coaching-HP-and-Microsoft/Minimizing-Downtime-when-Deploying-Firmware-and-Driver-Updates/ba-p/106383 and the firmware best practices -

I believe the best approach is going to be a mulitple hop before you install 3.60, you'll also need to make sure to update your server firmware in the process.

Re: Virtual connect firmware update from old version to the latest version

usually you should upgrade OA first to make sure OA can support latest VC firmware.

If it's not urgent, maybe you can wait for VC3.70 which will come out soon with more features.

VC3.60 has some issues with earlier code upgrade

you can upgrade to VC3.51 first if you don't want to wait or upgrade to 3.60 with workaround provided.

Yes, vc 3.70 that does not support the older enet modules (which is probably what you have if the firmware is 2.32)

Check the release notes http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c03359139/c03359139.pdf maybe I am reading them wrong.
