This is how to check what the level is currently. This will work well if the diagnostics are loaded.

echo "selclass qualifier cpu;info;wait;infolog" | cstm

Hi Eddie,

In addition, for the servers you would start here:

http://www.docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/2218/System_Firmware_Matrix_3.2.htm

For the J-class workstation you will need to go here:

Some of the latest firmware can only be installed bt HP CEs.

Cheers,

James.

Re: PDC versions for L-N-K-J-A Class server

thanks for the information. However, for the A-Class I upgraded the PDC firmware to 42.19 via patch PHSS_27384 s700_800 11.00 rp24xx 42.19 firmware patch.

Is there not a equivalent for L/N/J/K class i can install ? I really dont wantto have to use a tape unit to upgrade all of these....

Is there any other way to do this ?

GSP firmware needs really to be done by a HP CE.

The rest can be done by tape. (I can't speak for J class)

Hi Eddie,

new server types, i.e. A-, N-, L-class, have the capability to get the FW update via Patch.

For N-class, the latest:
PHSS_26533 (11.0) or PHSS_26534 (11i)

For L1000/L2000:
PHSS_26584 (11.0), PHSS_25685 (11i)

For L1500/L3000:
PHSS_27466 (11.0), PHSS_27467 (11i)

For A400/500:
PHSS_27383 (11.0), PHSS_27384 (11i)

K-class - and presumably also J-class workstations - need definetly the tape. No way in patching! Sure.


Regards.

Tobias
