Upgrading firmware on management processors
The Upgrade Firmware screen enables you to update the management processors to the firmware
version that supports directories. This screen also enables you to designate the location of the
firmware image for each management processor by either entering the path or clicking Browse.
NOTE:
Binary images of the firmware for the management processors are required to be accessible
from the system that is running the migration utility. These binary images can be downloaded from
the HP website at
Minimum firmware version

The upgrade process might take a long time, depending on the number of management processors
selected. The firmware upgrade of a single management processor can take as long as five minutes
to complete. If an upgrade fails, a message appears in the Results column and HPLOMIG continues
to upgrade the other discovered management processors.
NOTE:
HP recommends testing the upgrade process and verifying the results in a test environment
before running the utility on a production network. An incomplete transfer of the firmware image
to a management processor could result in having to locally reprogram the management processor
using a floppy diskette.
To upgrade the firmware on your management processors:
1.
Select the management processors to be upgraded.
2.
For each discovered management processor type, enter the correct pathname to the firmware
image or browse to the image.
3.
Click Upgrade Firmware. The selected management processors are upgraded. Although this
utility enables you to upgrade hundreds of management processors, only 25 management
processors are upgraded simultaneously. Network activity is considerable during this process.
4.
After the upgrade is complete, click Next.
