The ouput is not complete.


Some components have version 4, the newer cell has 6.4 or 6.5.



You should update the complete server to the latest version!!!



This would look like this:

Hi,
Attach is the FW output.

* Can I know how to change the -1 in the partition column to partition 0.

You need to add the cell to partition 0.


Consider to use "parmgr" or system management homepage!



Get the firmware bundle from hp.com, read the instructions and follow them step by step!!!

This server model CANNOT duplicate firmware from one cell to another.


As said, to add the cell use


http://your_server:2301 -> then parmgr

According to the attachment ion your previous post only the new cell is at this firmware level, the other cells are below. You need to update the firmware on the server to have the same version on all components.
