Current release is 6.4.

You can find the bits on www.itrc.com, but I would recommend to contact HP and let them do this. If you do some things wrong, you could damage your system. It is advisible, to upgrade from one version to the next (at least 5.0) until to the current.

The scree board (see the link from DCE http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/bizsupport/questionanswer.do?threadId=967224 ) is very important. Make sure it is installed!

hi joelmel,

This is not just a straight forward process to upgrade these larger systems. I would recommend that you have a HP engineer to do it for you as it takes quite some time to complete allt he steps needed. All the instructions and details are in the patches when downloaded.

these are available here

Torsten, new release is out now version 6.5
