Install Firmware - Nclass

[MSwift]

I have a N class server which i want to cold install (with 11.23), currently the server has 11.0 ( and the PDC is 42.XX and i realise that i need 44.2 firmware to go 11.23). Where would i get this firmware and how would i install it (via patch?) Also unless i install this firmware i cannot install 11.23, is that correct?

Thanks

Hi,

You need HP onsite support to upgrade the firmware offline.

So we cannot install the firmware without HP help?

hi,

first No, you do not need HP to update the firmware.

you can do it with patch for 11.00 available here

http://www13.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/patchDetail.do?patchid=PHSS_31214&sel={hpux:11.00,}&BC=main|search|

or download it from the other links and create a bootable tape and boot this tape to install it.

I would also recommend you update the firmware of the GSP aswell if it needs doing.

this would also be relativly easy since you already have hpux running to retrieve the file from via ftp. read the notes for it and you will understand what i mean.

you do need the latest firmware 43.43 to install 11.23 yes.

see this link
