CAUTION:
The HP Smart Update Firmware DVD and its contents must be used only by
individuals who are experienced and knowledgeable with HP SUM. Before using HP SUM to
update firmware, back up the target server, and take all other necessary precautions so that
mission-critical systems are not disrupted if a failure occurs.
HP SUM stores host and group information from session to session. However, user names, passwords,
and existing credentials are not stored in a session or from session to session.
Use OA version 2.51 or later to get a list of all major firmware versions deployed in your enclosure, using
the Rack Firmware link on the main OA web page. HP supports the current and two previous versions of
the HP Smart Update Firmware DVD.
NOTE:
The Onboard Administrator and Virtual Connect Ethernet and Fibre Channel Modules
are supported only in online deployments.
NOTE:
You can add firmware components to the USB drive key in the /hp/swpackages
directory.
IMPORTANT:
Before deploying software updates to a target server, be sure that a recent
backup of the target server is available in the event the deployment procedure fails.
