ProLiant 100 Series G6 Management

[Gus Dandas_1]

I see that HP Insight Management Agents now support HP ProLiant 100 series Generation 6 (G6) servers.
We have a few DL120 G5 servers we would like to manage via HP SIM.
Is there anyway we could update these G5 servers to G6 equivalence (via firmware, etc) so we would be able to use these new Insight Management Agents?
Please advise.

Correction, while there are now management agents for ProLiant 100 series G6, these are unique to the 100 series and are not the same as the rest of the line (i.e. not interchangeable).

There is new hardware in the G6 to enable this; it is not backward-compatible or retrofit-able to G5 or earlier.
