Re: upgrade firmware
Do not just mix and match individual upgrades but use the right firmware bundle or you could bring your system in a unusable state.

Re: upgrade firmware
It is recommended to have HP do it for you, as it most likely have support anyway.
if you want to do it yourself there is a PDF with installation intructions in the patch
http://www5.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/patchDetail.do?BC=patch.breadcrumb.main|patch.breadcrumb.search|&patchid=PF_COLYEIG0400&context=firmware:cpu
unzip the patch and read See rx8620_rx7620_SEU_V4_0_ReleaseNotes.pdf for firmware
update instructions.

Re: upgrade firmware
Hi,
Though the latest FWs are available, there are dependencied between the various firmwares, hence it is always recommended to consule HP before doing and FOR DOING the firmware upgrade.
The incorrect update may result in a unusable server. !
With Regards,
Siva.

Re: upgrade firmware
For "rp" series of servers , depending type of server ( npar capable etc. ) the firmwares are
PDC
IODC
PDHC
SFW ( it includes other firmware for cell boards ,backplanes )
SEU
GSP/MP
For you first question about order of the firmware upgrade on "rx" server, it is usually mentioned in the release notes of the new firmware. Saying that SFW ( includes EFI , IPMI and other backplane firmwares ) and BMC are supposed to upgraded at the same time. If you have MP card installed ( which is optional in rx ) then you may need to upgrade its firmware too. The inter-dependability of SFW,BMC & MP is usually mentioned in the release notes.
Sometimes upgrading from lower version to latest version , you may need to upgrade to one of the intermediate level before you can upgrade to latest level.
It is always better to consult HP before upgradation of firmware because it is very critical activity.
