Deploying Integrity firmware bundles with HP SUM

You can use HP SUM to deploy components delivered with the Integrity Server Bundles, or use HP SUM to pull
updates from the web. For supported HP SUM versions, see "Support and Limitations of HP SUM (on page

10

)."

Deploying firmware to the HP Integrity Servers, including BL8x0c i2, rx2800 i2 server, and Superdome 2
servers, is done remotely and is the same as deploying other firmware, such as OA, with the following

exceptions:

You must specify the IP address of the Monarch (primary) iLO-3 MP on the server as the target to be

updated.

On the Select Items to be Installed screen, click Configure Now, and then select whether you want to

Upload and Activate or Upload but Do Not Activate. The Upload and Activate option automatically
powers down and reboots the server after the update finishes, which activates the firmware. If you select
the Upload but Do Not Activate option, the server does not automatically reboot, so you must either

manually reboot or wait for the next regularly-scheduled maintenance reboot for the firmware to be
activated. The default behavior is Upload but Do Not Activate.
