Here are some very important updates for HP Blade Enclosures, I have also included iLO Updates as they are very important to keep up to date. Remember iLO and the Onboard Administrator firmwares can be updated live with no impact to the enclosure, ESX/vSphere server, Windows Servers, or Virtual Machine’s on ESX/vSphere. The Power Management Controller will have to be updated via a Bootable firmware CD.

HP Onboard Administrator for c-Class Blades is at rev 2.51 (May 28 2009)

HP ILO is at revision 1.7.8 (June 16^th 2009)

HP Power Management Controller rev 3.4(B) (June 17^th 2009) (haven’t figured out how to apply this one)

 Here is the whole HP Blade System Online Firmware Bundle

 If the files are out of date, which they shouldn’t be..

 then go here for ILO or Integrated Lights-Out and here for the Onboard Administrator  and here for The Power Management Controller Update
