Updating multiple servers simultaneously
HP recommends that you do not update more than eight servers simultaneously using the following
Automatic Mode process. If you update more than eight servers simultaneously, an isolinux Disk 80 error
may occur. If the isolinux Disk 80 error occurs, press any key. The server reboots to Automatic Mode, and
restarts the firmware update process. If you need to update more than eight servers in an enclosure, you must
execute multiple batches to complete the process.
You can use Automatic Mode to update firmware for multiple servers at once within an enclosure by using the
USB port on the OA to host the Automatic Mode ISO image through the iLO Virtual Media interface to
multiple servers.
To use Automatic Mode to update firmware on multiple servers in an enclosure at once:
1. To update a server blade using the Automatic Mode ISO, place it on a USB key and insert it into the USB
port on the front of the c3000 Enclosure or on the rear of the C7000 Enclosure.
2. Browse to the HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator web interface.
3. Log in using the OA administrator credentials.
4. To see the summary of all blades in the enclosure, click Device Bays.
5. Select each blade that needs to be updated
6. Click the DVD tab, and select the Connect to bb*.iso option in the pull down menu where the * (asterisk)
signifies the version, date, and pass number of the Automatic Mode ISO file that you extracted earlier.
7. Select each blade that needs to be updated again if it was cleared during the DVD connection step.
8. Select the Virtual Power tab, and then select the Momentary Press option. After confirming the power
change on the blades, the blades should power off if they were already powered on or power on if they
have already been powered off. If they are powered off by clicking the Momentary Press option, repeat
this step to power on the server blades.
9. When you boot to Automatic Mode, all feedback is provided through the UID lights. While the update
process is running, the UID light blinks. Upon completion, the UID light is set to one of two states.
o If the UID light is off, the update process is complete and the server OS can be installed or the server
restarted to its previous operating system.
o If the UID light is on solid, a firmware update failure has occurred.
