Firmware uppgrade for HP 9000/879/k260

[Roy_57]

Hi,

I recently updated the OS from 11.00 to 11i and the installer indicated that the firmware version installed (36.51) does not support 64 bit.

Where can I get updated firmware?

I check the itrc for firmware but all firmware listed does not support 9000/879/k260 model. This is the string returned from executing "model" command.

Does anyone know what patch number to get?

Here's the firmware:

This firmware is actually installed as a bootable tape but make sure you follow the instructions (especially the 2k blocking) when making the tape.

Thanks for the quick responses!

I hope the tape drive still works. I haven't used it for some time.
