Firmware Updates Questions

[MikeL_4]

With Firmware updates moving to the Business Support Center, when you download the updates they are to be installed as iso images.

Are firmware updates no longer available as patch installs ??

It is almost impossible to update firmware on over 30 remote servers that have no one available to mount cdroms on the servers...

All firmware updates for servers I searched I found also as a patch ;-)

It might be helpful to mention your system and what you are looking for ...

I did a product search on rp3440 and it gave me a download file of: PF_CSTORPDC4634.tar.gz which expanded out to an iso file.

Mike,

Those firware updates that have patch options are found on the patch database instead of the business center.

Also, FYI, you can mount an ISO image file just like you would a cd..

How can you find the firmware patches in the Patch database if you don't have a patch number to search for ?

Go to the "find individual patches" link for HP-UX. You can search by keywords there. Entering rp3440 found a few patched, including the one for PDC.

The search as mentioned will give you:

http://www4.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/patchDetail.do?patchid=PHSS_35761&sel={hpux:11.11,}&BC=main|search|

Patch Name: PHSS_35761

Patch Description: s700_800 11.11 rp3410/rp3440 PDC46.34/BMC03.51/MPE.03.30 FW

Hi,

You can extract the ISO files in a directory and keep it on one located from where all the server which firmware need to be upgrade and try with ftp firmware update.
