Info for Blade server maintainence

[SAS-Sumit]

Hello expert,

I am looking for detailed steps for upgrading the PSP, HBA driver & firmware for server model ProLiant BL465c G5 in my environment. I am not seeing any detailed steps in the HP portal & need expert advice.

OS version is Windows 2003 Enterprise R2 x64
Windows 2003 Standard R2 x64

Current PSP is 8.25 &
Driver Version = 9.1.6.15
Firmware Version = 4.02.01

Looking for earliest reply.

Thanks in advance.

I just can give you some starting points:

1. for firmware look at compatibility matrix:

2. For your fc card search on www.hp.com (using card product number) fw and drivers (check prerequisites)

3 For PSP I think that you can take 8.50
