Could having old firmware versions have any adverse effects on the server?

Re: Firmware versions
I am sorry, here are no psychics! ;-)
For good answers you will have to provide us with better info.
What plattforms are you using?
Old firmware could prevent you from using new hardware.
greetings,
Michael

Re: Firmware versions
Is it worth keeping upto date with these versions if we are not adding new hardware?

Re: Firmware versions
new os releases also require a minimum firmware release.

SolutionSo there are a lot of components in L and N-Class servers that have updateable firmware. Generally firmware seems to be released to correct potentially serious issues, for example Hangs, Panics, HPMC's or system aborts. If your systems are used in mission critical applications I would suggest up keep firmware updated whenever possible.
The Subscribers Choice option on the support and drivers page sends me proactive eMail when firmware changes on most of the systems I have (L, A and N-Class, rx5670, rx2600 and rx4640).
Here is the URL:
http://www.hp.com/united-states/subscribe/gateway/?jumpid=go/subscribe-gate1
Here is a list of current PDC firmware on L and N-Class systems.
L1000/L2000:
11.00 swinstall patch PHSS_29934
11.11 swinstall patch PHSS_29935
tape install patch PF_CRHW4401
L1500/L3000:
11.00 swinstall patch PHSS_29940
11.11 swinstall patch PHSS_29941
tape install patch PF_CARIW4343
N-Class:
11.00 swinstall patch PHSS_29938
11.11 swinstall patch PHSS_29939
tape install patch PF_CPIW4343
GSP Firmware
Rev. C for rp2450/2470 PF_CHARGSPC0214
Rev. B L-Class and N-Class PF_CCANGSPB0220
Rev. A for L, A and N-Class PF_CPREGSPA0112
There are also firmware updates for disk drives as well. I would go out and review the release notes associated with the patches and see if you need them.
Hope it helps, Eric
