Upgrading the Infrastructure firmware only

[jgeorge_dd]

Hi Guys,

Is it possible to upgrade the infrastructure firmware only to the latest 2.2 version and leave the blades on 2.0 or 1.3 firmware.

Reason is its hard to get downtime to reboot blade and some new blades with V2 CPU requires new firmware.

In general, Infrastructure 2.2 supports Blades at 2.1, and Infrastructure 2.1 Blades at 2.0

For any older release, Infra and Blade have to match.
