    Dear all,
    Please help me to decided about upgrade microcode.
    Now, i have 2 system, Tier 2A and Tier 2B.
    On Tier 2A the version of microcode is 93-06-23-80/00 and on Tier 2B is 93-07-01-80/00.
    Meanwhile, the latest version of microcode is 93-07-29-x0/00. This is too far with current version installed on Tier 2A and 2B.
    so now, please give me some advise to upgrade it. it's able if i upgrade direct to latest version or step by step upgrade ( version by version) ?

    Thank you for your attention

    Hello Hadi,

    The Short answer is:  Open a Case, a Direct Upgrade is very likely.
    Regardless of the gap in versions a direct upgrade is usually supported.  The local support team doing your upgrade will need to review the ECNs and Tech Tips that apply to your environment before they perform the upgrade.

    Hallo Mark,
    Thank you for your suggestion. So i can upgrade direct without parcial.
    Ex, on Tier 2A, the version is 93-06-23-80/00 i can upgrade to latest version without upgrade to version 93-7-xx-xx/xx firstly.
    The question, if i direct upgrade to the latest version, is it save ? because of that we know the gap of version is too long.
    And then, if, the proccessing upgrade running and then failed, is able to rollback to version before ?
    thank you for your anwers and suggestion.

    In most cases Yes.  Once you open a case your local team will check and provide any restrictions regarding the upgrade.
    There often are restrictions regarding downgrade, which depend on what features you are using. When downgrading, it may require special procedures to roll back.
