Description

Best practice

Do not update the firmware on a managed device unless the firmware baseline is
set to manage manually.

Verify the managed device setting
before updating the firmware.

HP recommends using HP SPPs. You can use HP SUM 6.0 or later to create custom
SPPs, which can be uploaded to the appliance repository. The appliance only
supports installation of SPP ISO files, but using HP SUM, you can insert firmware
updates into custom SPPs for the appliance.

Download HP SUM 6.0

as a standalone

product.

If you choose to create custom
SPPs, use HP SUM to create them.

The appliance does not back up SPPs, so store custom SPPs in a repository that is
not on the appliance, such as in the HP SUM repository used to create the custom
SPP.

Store custom SPPs in a separate
repository.
