The firmware update, Version 1.82, contains critical bug fixes and is the minimum version required. Please perform the update at your earliest convenience. Click on the underlined Version to view more details on the fixes.

You can upgrade the firmware remotely and online easily, I posted an example script. I’ve done this before without issue, it’s worth doing to fix the bugs and avoid any issues from a support angle in the future, think about the system firmware as well, it should be updated at some point, maybe your next security patching process? Or when the system is down for an upgrade/maintenance.

Also, remember the array firmware, this can be quite important but for the older legacy compaq proliants (1850/6500/2500/1600) you might find the individual disks might need their firmware upgraded, and that can involve the 16 floppy disk scenario. On anything G1/G2 and above you’ll be fine typically, apply firmware ILO, system, array and reboot.. Do test it first though, and not on production until you’re happy.
