Upgrading processor for rx4640
on the website is no more available the manual "A6961-96018" ( "Upgrading ... " ).
Any idea where to find it ?
Another question : the configuration guide speaks of a required "0606" version of the HPUX operating system to support the dual-core processors : is this version really required ( I have a 0505 version ) or the last HWE/Feature Enable / QPK can do the work ?
Thank You
Kind Regards
Giuseppe Vitali

Re: Upgrading processor for rx4640
If U want to upgrade above part number processor then U need to update Ur system Firmware.
Action:
=======
Check server firmware prior to installing any of these processor products. The rx4640 requires system firmware 3.17 or later. The firmware version can be checked as follows:
Shell> info fw
Firmware information:
Firmware revision: 3.17 [4511]
BMC revision: 3.49
Management Processor Revision: E.03.15
Updatable EFI drivers:
Floating point Software Assistance Handler: 00000118
Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet Driver: 00070003
If firmware requires updating, the firmware upgrade instructions are included in the Release Notice that is included in the download bundle.
To download the firmware, go to http://www.hp.com/bizsupport.

Re: Upgrading processor for rx4640
thank you for the link to the manual.
The answer to my second question is in the manual itself :
Minimum Operating System Requirements
Ensure the server meets the minimum OS requirements. Refer to your OS documentation for updating
procedures.
â ¢ HP-UX 11i v2 (11.23), HWE 0606
So , I understand : it is not mandatory to make an OE upgrade, but is required , and enough, to install the bundle HWE 0606 ( June 2006 ) or later.
Thanks
Giuseppe
