firmware upgrade
I am having a firmware upgrade being done by HP on by 8640 box. Somehow we have this experience that it goes and corrupts the vpars, and hp still has no reason for this. I want to know when firmware upgrade is done can i disconnect my boot disks so that nothing wrong happens on the boot disks.Does firmware upgrade does anything on the OS boot disk also at the efi level .
Thanks
Jake

Re: firmware upgrade
No.
Depending on the method of update sometimes a file is copied to the EFI area and executed - that's it.
What version of vPars and HP-UX do you run?
Example: hp-ux 11.13 and vPars A.04.06.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: firmware upgrade
As Torsten pointed out it depends. This update is performed offline with the o/s down and power off. This upgrade also addresses some EFI boot management issues. Please see the release notes for specific information:

Re: firmware upgrade

Also which method were you using to update the firmware.
- MP initiated using an FTP server
or

Thanks,
