Viewing firmware mismatch details (HP Integrity servers only)

If you have a multi-blade server, you might encounter a situation where you have blades or partitions
that are running different firmware versions. As part of the update procedures, HP SUM will notify
you that there is a firmware mismatch by displaying either Mismatch Found or Mismatch
Found Update Required

. Click the message to go to the View Firmware Details screen, where

you can view the mismatch details. HP SUM will resolve the firmware mismatch when it installs the
new updates.
