K360 Firmware

I would like to upgrade my K360 from an HPUX 11.11 32bit kernel to an HPUX 11.11 64bit kernel. I have 3rd party products (Oracle, for example) that require that I am running on an HPUX 11.11 64bit system.

I have found out that I need to be running a firmware level of a 41.33 to support the 64bit kernel. I currently have 38.29. Does anyone have a firmware update for the K360?

I have tried the firware download area on the ITRC website, but that firware is not downloadable from the site.

Thanks in advance

Re: K360 Firmware

Hasan,

In the readme.txt file, I need to copy the .frm file to tape before rebooting to gain access to the firmware. My K360 does not have a tape device. Is there another way to make the .frm file available when I perform the reboot?

Thanks in advance

Hi Robert,

IIRC, there is but you'll need to contact HP to open a call, as they may still have the firmware on proprietary CD media that the FE installs it from.

Re: K360 Firmware

In the era of k-class machines the method to use a tape drive was the only possible.
For newer systems you have ISO images, patches and others ...

Some folks of hp services created special lif files and placed them on a bootable CD in order to make the update possible via CD.

There is no public version - so you have the choice to contact HP and ask for assistance or get a tape drive ...

Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Thanks for the advice. I have contacted my HP rep and am in the process of obtaining a CD (hopefully). Thanks for all of your support.

Re: K360 Firmware

One other question: It is a requirement to be at firmware level 41.33 in order to install the 64bit kernel on my K360? I am currently running 38.29 and I ran into a NFS problems after installing the 64bit in the past and instead reinstalled the 32bit kernel. Yet, I really need to be running the 64-bit Kernel.
