R2215 seems to be the latest that isnt Early Deployment.

F2218P01 is the early deployment right?

 can we recommand this to customer and ask him to upgrade to F2218P01 considering the installed version is R2215?

Well you can do so,  but my question would be why the upgrade is necessary, if they have a fault, then the release notes should be checked first, if the fault is not resolved in the new code then an update may not be necessary. So really the customer needs to work out why they want an early release code, if they don't have any issues or do not require any new features, then I would wait a while until the code become standard release code

Cool. I'm not seeing that one on MyProcurve though, where do you obtain it?

Here's the link I used to download R2220:

https://h10145.www1.hp.com/Downloads/DownloadSoftware.aspx?SoftwareReleaseUId=10122&ProductNumber=JG240A&lang=en%2cen

However I did have trouble getting the included 715 bootrom to load...  I haven't tried actually booting a 5500 with this firmware (until I can first resolve the bootrom or determine if it is okay to run this code with the older 710 bootrom)...

Is there a reason that firmware R2220 has now been removed from web? (https://h10145.www1.hp.com/downloads/SoftwareReleases.aspx?ProductNumber=JD009A) Are there any known bugs?
