Re: firmware version
This Qlogic link explains the differences in the EFI, FCODE, BIOS firmware.
Basically you need to worry about those 3 IF you boot from SAN. They each load minimal drivers (based on architecture type) so that you can access a SAN attached volume with an operating system.
Most "newer" QLOGIC based HBA's actually load the firmware via the driver on system boot. So the system boots, initializes the HBA and loads driver specific firmware once the card is "up". This way driver is always interacting with driver specific firmware.
I also agree that a AB379-60001 is "A" rev card
and AB379-60101 is a "B" rev card. I seem to recall reading that somewhere.
However, with all this said, it is best to stay "current" with the HP SPOCK, so that you can feel confident that the interoperability has been tested and verified.
Hope this helps...

Re: firmware version
Log on to spock, select other hardware, hp-ux (fcd) and you will find
FW 5.03.15
EFI 2.22
recommended for most servers.
So you need the bundle I linked earlier.
http://h20272.www2.hp.com/utility/document.aspx?docurl=Shared%20Documents/hw/hbas/hba_software_support_stream_hpux.2013_05_30.pdf
In "by array" area you find the minimum needed driver version.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.
