HBA firmware upgrade using LPUTIL

[dentistcorn]

Is there a Customer Advisory indicating NOT to use LPUTILNT for upgrading the firmware on an LP8000 HBA? Or ONLY to use the boot floppy for the firmware upgrade?

Hm, yes, I thought I have seen it, but I don't have an URL handy and I somehow can not find it with Google or HP's search.

Uwe,

Please let me know. I'm very interested in finding this out.

Thanks

You are quite correct, this was the case, I was doing an install with HP, they used LPUTIL to upgrade the controllers and said the problem had been fixed, its all down to versions, the latest version is ok, the problem is I cannot remember where the cut-off point is, and if you use the wrong version, the FC card is rendered inoperative.

This is Customer Advisory OI040102_CW01. I have attached it.
I think this should answer your question.
