Deploying HP Integrity Smart Update Firmware bundles with HP SUM

You can use HP SUM to deploy components delivered with the HP Integrity Smart Update Firmware
bundles, or use HP SUM to pull updates from the web.

Deploying firmware to the HP Integrity servers is done remotely and is the same as deploying other
firmware, such as OA, with the following exceptions:

Specify the IP address of the Monarch (primary) OA on Superdome 2 enclosures, or the
Monarch iLO 3 management processor on multi-blade servers.

On the Select Components 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. By default, HP SUM selects Upload but
Do Not Activate.
