IMPORTANT: HP recommends using the latest released version of system firmware. This table lists the minimum
firmware requirements: on each server indicated, vPars supports the system firmware version listed here and greater.
2 The minimum firmware required for vPars A.05.01 supports the dynamic memory migration feature of vPars, as
well as use of vPars on a system with Hyperthreading enabled (HT ON). Please note that hardware, operating system,
or other applications may have other requirements.
3 The minimum firmware required for vPars A.05.02 supports the dynamic memory migration feature of vPars, as
well as use of vPars on a system with Hyperthreading enabled (HT ON). Please note that hardware, operating system,
or other applications may have other requirements.
4 A firmware upgrade beyond the minimum firmware for vPars A.05.02 is necessary only if you need support for the
vPars tape boot feature on Integrity servers.
5 This firmware is added to the system on a special scree board (1253-5394). Customers should either download the
latest version firmware on their system before installing vPars, or contact their HP Service Representative for help.
For more information, please go to the HP IT Resource Center at http://itrc.hp.com. The firmware is available at ftp://
ftp.itrc.hp.com/firmware_patches/hp/cpu/.
6 If you are upgrading the Superdome firmware, the upgrade must be performed by Hewlett-Packard qualified service
personnel only. Please contact your local HP Support Representative to schedule a convenient time for this firmware
upgrade service. Please note that all cells within the Superdome should be upgraded to the same level.
7 This firmware is available for download from the http://hp.com website. For details, see Downloading Server
Firmware (page 26).
