Firmware Versions

The HP XC System Software is tested against specific minimum firmware versions. Follow the instructions in the accompanying HP Cluster Platform documents to ensure that all hardware components are installed with the latest firmware version.

The master firmware tables for this release are available at the following Web site:

http://www.docs.hp.com/en/highperfcomp.html

The master firmware tables list the minimum firmware versions on which the Version 3.1 HP XC System Software has been qualified. At a minimum, the HP XC system components must be installed with these versions of the firmware.

Read the following guidelines before upgrading the firmware on any component in the HP XC system:

Never downgrade to an older version of firmware unless you are specifically instructed to do so by the HP XC Support Team.
The master firmware tables clearly shows newer versions of the firmware that are known to be incompatible with the HP XC software. Incompatible versions are highlighted in bold font. Do not install these known incompatible firmware versions because unexpected system behavior might occur.
There is always the possibility that a regression in functionality is introduced in a firmware version. It is possible that the regression could cause anomalies in HP XC operation. Report regressions in HP XC operation that result from firmware upgrades to the HP XC Support Team:
<xc_support@hp.com>
Contact the HP XC Support Team if you are not sure what to do regarding firmware versions.
