You update a firmware bundle for a logical interconnect to apply the same firmware baseline
to all member interconnects. This operation by default updates firmware only on those member
interconnects that are running a different version of firmware and ignores the interconnects
that are running the same firmware version. You select from the following options:
Description Option
Stages (uploads) the selected firmware to the secondary flash
memory on the interconnect, and then activates the firmware as
the baseline. During firmware activation, the interconnect will be
offline. Update firmware (stage + activate)
Writes the selected firmware to the secondary flash memory on
the interconnect, but does not activate the firmware. You can
activate the firmware at a later time. Stage firmware for later activation
Activates the selected staged firmware. During firmware
activation, the interconnect will be offline. Activate firmware
•
To update the firmware bundle for a specific server, edit the existing server profile or create
a new server profile to specify the version of the SPP, and then click Create in the user interface
or use the REST APIs to apply.
NOTE: To apply a server profile, the selected server hardware must be powered off.
18.5 Best practices for firmware
Description Best practice
You should upload the SPP to your appliance repository. First step: Upload the latest current
SPP.
HP recommends that you set the firmware baseline using the Update Firmware
option on the Enclosures screen. This immediately updates all of the devices in the
enclosure to the specified SPP level. Set the same firmware baseline for
all devices in an enclosure.
It is not always possible to update all of the devices in an enclosure in a single
operation. The appliance supports installing firmware on one device at a time. In
this case, upgrade the firmware in the following order: OA, logical interconnect,
and then the server hardware. Update the firmware in the proper
sequence.
After you update the firmware, install the drivers and other software through the
operating system. HP recommends that you install the drivers from the same SPP
that contains the firmware. Install the drivers and other
software after updating the
firmware.
The appliance does not install drivers. Use an external tool, such as HP SUM, to
install the drivers and other nonfirmware components. Use HP SUM to install the drivers.
