REPLACE CELL BOARD

[Steven E. Protter]

Shalom Roger,

Everything on the new cell board needs to be the same as the existing cell board.


PSB:

1- i have checked the FW update release notice ( attached file ) an i could find that the components which we can upgrade are "MP , PDC , PDHC " . What about the other components related to system backplane (GPM,FM,OSP) , TO pci backplane (LPM,HS), to cell (LPM,BOB,Drain,SINC).

If the cellboard is good, the backplane should note care. We are not really changing anything on the backplane.


2- Once we finished the FW upgrade, is there any issue with the partition 0 which includes the new cell.

I can think of no other issues. If the two cell boards match on all on board firmware and related issues, you should be good to go.

Do you have a hardware contract? Your technician should know these things.

Steven,

Please note that the new cell will replace the current cell ; it will not join the current partition.

I can only repeat:

he firmware versions of **all** components in a cabinet must be consistent!!!

See the release notes and compare all the versions!

Roger,

Partition or not, as previously stated, ALL components (including CELLS) in the system cabinet must be at the same Firmware Revisions!

most compatible to what???


Just use the current and update all components.

Carefully read and follow the notes - otherwise you can kill the box.

If in doubt, ask HP.
