Hitachi Compute Blade Logical partitioning manager Version Upgrade / Revision Update Guide

Definition of LP firmware update

LP firmware levels are expressed in "VV-RR (TT-KK)" form. Each field denotes a classified

level as follows:

VV: Functional level called version.

RR: Bug fix level called revision.

TT: Type designation for internal purpose only.

KK: Build number for internal purpose only.

These fields are respectively controlled by a two-digit decimal number (00 to 99). Each

digit may sometimes be substituted by the letter "x" that means any decimal number.

"Version upgrade" of LP firmware means to change the version from a lower (older) level

to a higher (newer) level for functional enhancement purposes. Version upgrade of LP

firmware requires an appropriate LPAR manager Version Upgrade License Key (see

Section "Prerequisites" of this Chapter).

"Revision update" of LP firmware means to change the revision from a lower (older) level

to a higher (newer) level for bug fix purposes within the same version. Revision update of

LP firmware does not require any LPAR manager Version Upgrade License Key.

Firmware version upgrade and firmware revision update may be collectively referred to as

"firmware update."

Version Upgrade License Key

is not needed when using LP Firmware version 59-

3x/79

-3x or later.
