Before getting started

IMPORTANT:

• Do not install or use the upgrade Blade Link until explicitly called for in the upgrade procedure.

For more information, see 

Blade link and system information parameters

 on page 75.

• The server blade firmware may need to be updated on the existing server blades as part of the

upgrade process, see 

Determining your current firmware revisions

 on page 62 for more

information.

• Processor and memory DIMM loading and distribution follows applicable rules across the blades.

For more information, see 

Installing internal components

 on page 43 and 

Rules for server

blade internal components

 on page 66.

• Adding new Upgrade Blades to an enclosure may require additional power supplies in the

enclosure to meet the new power requirements. This situation would be reported by the
enclosure Onboard Administrator. For more information, see the BladeSystem setup and
information guide for your enclosure at 

http://www.hpe.com/info/Blades-docs

.

• If more than one existing blade server will be combined in the upgrade, one of them must be

designated as the “Monarch Server”. This is the original server which is officially being upgraded,
The Monarch blade from this server will become the Monarch blade in the upgraded server. Also,
the Monarch Server UUID and Serial Number will be transferred to the upgraded server.

• The OS boot disk must be attached to the designated Monarch Server.
• When VC is used, some rearrangement of the VC server profile may be necessary. See 

Possible changes due to VC profile mapping on the upgraded blade server

 on page 77.

• Because the socket count of the upgraded server is likely to be greater than that of the server

being upgraded, a new OS license will probably be required.

• At the end of the upgrade, the Blade Links removed from the original blade servers cannot be

reused.

Supported operating systems

HP-UX 11i v3 OE Update for September 2012

IMPORTANT:

If you will be using HP-UX, review the HP-UX errata documentation that is listed at 

http://

www.hpe.com/info/Blades-docs

.

Minimum firmware versions

A minimum set of firmware is required for the blades and blade enclosures involved in the upgrade.
Firmware on the server blades, the enclosure HPE Onboard Administrator, and the HPE Virtual Connect
Manager (if Virtual Connect interconnect modules are installed) must be updated to at least the minimum
firmware level. Every blade in the upgrade must be at the same firmware level.

IMPORTANT:

Any required updates must be checked for and completed during the upgrade process.
