Firmware downgrade

[risingflight143]

Hi can i  downgrade firmware of  BL460C G9 servers as my enclosure is not  compatablie with this blade server version..

[Torsten.]

details please.

Where did you get this "incompatible" information?

The current BIOS 1.52 has important fixes, the last available previous version is 1.40.

I doubt there is a reason for downgrade.

Thanks alot, My Enclosure OA version is 3.6 or 3.7 and BL460C G9 supports from 4.1. if i downgrade the firmware of the server then it should support,  My servers firmware is the latest. As of now i cannot upgrade Enclosure OA firmware version.

you told the minimum oa version for gen9. why should a bios dowgrade help? it doesn't. why you cannot upgrade oa?

[risingflight143]

does it require a downime

[Torsten.]

no downtime for oa update needed. read about all dependencies if you use virtual connect.

this will help you too:
