Upgrading firmware on management processors
The Upgrade Firmware screen enables you to update the management processors to the firmware version
that supports directories. This screen also enables you to designate the location of the firmware image for
each management processor by either entering the path or clicking Browse.
IMPORTANT:
Binary images of the firmware for the management processors are required to
be accessible from the system that is running the migration utility. These binary images can be
downloaded from the HP website

The upgrade process might take a long time, depending on the number of management processors
selected. The firmware upgrade of a single management processor can take as long as five minutes to
complete. If an upgrade fails, a message appears in the Results column and HPQLOMIG continues to
upgrade the other discovered management processors.
IMPORTANT:
HP recommends testing the upgrade process and verifying the results in a test
environment before running the utility on a production network. An incomplete transfer of the
firmware image to a management processor could result in having to locally reprogram the
management processor using a floppy diskette.
To upgrade the firmware on your management processors:
1.
Select the management processors to be upgraded.
2.
For each discovered management processor type, enter the correct pathname to the firmware image
or browse to the image.
3.
Click Upgrade Firmware. The selected management processors are upgraded. Although this utility
enables you to upgrade hundreds of management processors, only 25 management processors are
upgraded simultaneously. Network activity is considerable during this process.
