About This Document Use these tables to find the minimum system firmware (SWF) requirements for HP-UX 11i v3, HP-UX11i v2, Dynamic nPartitions, and PCI I/O adapters in Itanium® and PA-RISC systems. If both the system and adapter support another operating system (earlier versions of HP-UX, Open VMS, Linux, or Windows®) these minimum SFW levels may be used. A new OS version may require a SFW update.
PAGE 4
In general, HP recommends that you update to the latest firmware available before installing or updating to HP-UX 11i v3. CAUTION: HP recommends only using BMC and iLO MP firmware levels consistent with the SFW level being used. HP Firmware Manager You can update firmware by using the HP Firmware Manager (HP FM). HP FM is a set of tools for updating firmware on an HP Integrity or PA-RISC system. HP FM is packaged with the firmware and distributed via the web.

2 Dynamic nPartitions Minimum System Firmware Dynamic nPartitions is an optional feature introduced with the September 2007 Operating Environment Update Release (OEUR) to HP-UX 11i v3. The feature enables online changes to the composition of nPartitions through the parolrad command. Dynamic nPartitions requires firmware versions beyond the minimum required for HP-UX 11i v3. IMPORTANT: HP recommends using the latest version of firmware.
