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
A firmware upgrade greater than the minimum firmware is only required for vPars A.04.04 and later if you need support
for the vPars tape boot feature on Integrity servers.
3
When installing firmware on these systems, please refer to Installing Firmware Patches on the rp5470/L3000 and
rp7400/N4000 in the HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator Guide.

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/.

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.

A firmware update is not required to move from A.03.xx to A.04.xx for Superdome servers with PA-8600 or PA-8700
processors.
