最近，公司买了一批新的惠普刀片机（G8)，旧的(G1)自然就淘汰下来了。为了重新使用它们，固件升级时异地要做的。在做固件升级之前，我把G7的刀片放进去，机箱开始不认，后来虚拟连接器又不认。总之要一步步地来。如果不按次序，工具不对，甚至工具的版本不对都会遇到问题。这就是我这次摊上的大事！

原始固件版本：
ＯＡ：　３．１１
Ｇ１　ＲＯＭ：　ｉ１５　０５／１２／２００９
Ｇ１　ｉＬｏ：　ｉＬｏ２　２．０１　Ａｕｇ　０４　２０１０
ＶＣ：　２．３４

目标固件版本：
ＯＡ：　３．７１
Ｇ１　ＲＯＭ：　ｉ１５　０５／０２／２０１１
Ｇ１　ｉＬｏ：　ｉＬｏ２　２．０９　Ａｐｒ１１　２０１２
ＶＣ：　３．６０

    首先，在升级虚拟连接器之前，一定要把刀片的以下部分固件和驱动全部升级！否则你的刀片可能不能运行：
1 刀片的ROM,
2 刀片的iLO
3 刀片的network card
4 刀片的RAID Array

　　　　在刀片升级以后，要对OA进行固件升级， 最新的ＯＡ固件版本是３，７１。 在这些都做完了，根据以下步骤对虚拟连接器升级。
