Hi,

I am not sure for K200. But for my rp54xx servers the PDC firmware is available in a OS patch. On installing this the machine will reboot and after reboot it will bootup with new firmware.

HTH,

Hello,

Installing new firmware (compatible) in K200 won't affect the existing OS. New firmware will be thoroughly tested and confirm all standards.

The current firmware for your K200 server can be found here:

http://www5.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/patchDetail.do?BC=patch.breadcrumb.main|patch.breadcrumb.search|&patchid=PF_CKHK0029&context=firmware:cpu

This is version 2.9. Please read and follow the instructions. You have to create a tape and from from it to update the firmware (PDC). There won't be an impact to the OS after the upgrade.

BTW, this is the "easiest" procedure, because it's the only one for this model.
