SolutionThe simple answer is No!
Version 0.5 of the PMC firmware has no upgrade path. If we believe HP, then this version does not require upgrade.
I have a couple of blades which are still on Version 0.5, and the show up as fine in the OA "System Status" display.
I dont use the version control agent.
What version of OA firmware are you at??
Dave.

Re: BL460c PMC Firmware upgrade 0.5 > 3.4 error
Glad to hear that the 3.4d firmware worked for you. It will probably raise a few eyebrows on this forum since even the FW documentations says it shouldn't work. Vis.
"This firmware update can only be applied if your Power Management Controller Firmware is version .6 or later. The current Power Management Controller firmware version will be identified and displayed when executing this upgrade on your system. If the current Power Management Controller Firmware version on your system is prior to .6 then you will receive a message indicating that this firmware update is not supported on your system."
If your process worked, it might lead to a few other people trying it out. (that "0.5" just iritates the crap out of me)
Dave.
