Checking SPR Levels or Version Procedure Information for
ServerNet Cluster Software
Table 2-9 on page 2-24 shows how to check the current SPR levels for ServerNet
cluster software. However, some ServerNet cluster software components earlier than
G06.12 omit the SPR level from their version procedure information. In these cases,
see Table 2-10 on page 2-25 for the version procedure dates that identify the currently
installed SPR.
Checking the Revisions of the Running Firmware and
Configuration
Before you upgrade, HP recommends that you check the revisions of the firmware and
configuration that are running in a cluster switch. Normally, the running firmware and
configuration match the SPR level of the file versions of the firmware and configuration.
If there is a mismatch, make sure you understand the reasons for the mismatch before
upgrading.
