Upgrade the HP NC553i 10Gb 2-port FlexFabric Converged Network
Adapter
NOTE: This upgrade is for Matrix 6.1 and 6.2 customers and is only required if a CRC flash
error occurs when updating the NC553i on the BL460c G7 server blade. The error message states:
One or more CRC errors was detected during the flash operation. Prior
to restarting your system it is important to retry the flash update. A
failed flash update may leave your system in an unknown state.
Upgrade the FlexFabric Adapter NC553i firmware using the Emulex One Command Offline utility
ISO. Downtime can be greatly minimized in an HP BladeSystem Matrix environment by moving
physical and virtual services using Virtual Service Manager to free server blades that need the
upgrade. If there are insufficient resources available to free server blades for this upgrade, then
the service will need to be taken down for a short time (approximately 10 minutes) to boot the
upgrade CD.
NOTE: The firmware on NC550m, NC551m, NC552m, and NC553m adapters installed in
these servers will be updated when the server LOMs are updated.
