You CAN update from DLT on a A/N-class HPe3K as long as it's a
FWSCSI-attached one.

For an non A/N-class HPe3K, you CANNOT boot from a FWSCSI-attached DLT, but
you CAN from a SESCS-attached DLT.

BTW, is the powerpatch 2 you have one that has been released from hold by HP?

If so, is it identified differently from the original pp2?
