x – The simple way Francesco VMware, vSphere 4 Comments With this mini how to guide I want to show you how simple is the upgrading process of the System RomBIOS on Hp ProLiant servers running ESXi 5.
Update all firmware on HP D元80 G5 server. Here, we are showing the process to patch HP ProLiant D元80 (p) Gen8 and Gen9 server. HP has announced a new policy for Firmware Update Access for HP ProLiant Servers. password: User:Administrator logged-in to linux-mgmt.
The Files are being copied to the iLO NVRAM, iSUT will see and then install them.Firmware update access for hp proliant serversįirmware update access for hp proliant servers Integrating and Managing HP ProLiant Servers in the Products: HP ProLiant DL Servers, HP ProLiant BL Server Blades, HP ProLiant ML Servers, HP ProLiant Scalable Systems, Insight Control Software Description: Advisory: HP Integrated Lights-Out 3 (iLO 3) - The iLO 3 ROM-Based Setup Utility May Incorrectly Display the Gateway IP Address as 0. SUT not running or “ iSUT is not enabled, you need to refresh the Server state using Assets > Servers > Select Server > Action > Refresh.įrom this point, it is the same as with SUM. Host OS type not supported, AMS not Running.” the server is usually powered Off. If you see “SUT mode not supported, SUT not running. Now we can Rollout the SPP to the Servers. This is done, by Firmware Baseline > Import Baseline: When all is done, reboot the host, and you are done.įirst, we must upload the SPP to the iLO Amplifier Repository. The iSUT Service in the OS will now pick-up software from iLO and install.
Now, first Start an Inventory and then choose Deploy.Ĭhose to Deploy and the SUM will copy the Firmware and Drivers to the iLO NVRAM. Select Nodes and add your Target Server using the iLO IP, not the OS IP. Mount the SPP ISO on the deployment PC/server and start SUM with launch_sum.bat. If it is not Installed, Download HPE Utilities Offline Bundle for ESXi 6.7 However, iSUT reboots the VMware ESXi host only if the host is in maintenance mode. You can set the iSUT mode to AutoDeployReboot mode. Now set iSUT to Deploy Updates: :~] sut -set mode=AutoDeployReboot If imported into OneView create a server profile with a firmware baseline and apply the profile to the server. User Action Needed.: To perform the firmware updates import the server to OneView or use iLO Amplifier Pack. Optional Components.: NoneĮnableiLOQueuedUpdates.: true Polling Interval In Minutes.: 5įorce Deploy.: No Staging Directory.: /tmp/sut/stagingdirectoryīaseline URI.: Noneīaseline Version.: Waiting for staging Task Status.: Bios:N/A LocalStorage:N/A Deploy:Idle The iSUT should already be installed with HPE ESX Image.Ĭheck It: :~] sut -status Prepareįirst, the iSUT must be installed on the target server and set to AutoDeploy.
I will now explain 2 and 3 by using an ESXi server as an example.
The iLO can be fuelled with updates in several ways, I will explain the most common. You can get more information at the HPE SUT Site here and in the User Guides No more booting from the SPP ISO Image for firmware updates and you can specify several server stages or even reboot a number of times. A reboot is usually necessary afterwards. If there is something new, it pulls the update and then installs firmware and drivers inside the OS. The Integrated Software Update Manager (iSUT) service in the OS can monitor the iLO repository content. This can be *.bin, *.fwpkg for firmware, *.zip for ESX, *.exe for Windows, or *.rpm for Linux. We are now able to upload firmware and drivers direct to the iLO NVRAM. The Gen10 servers now have a 1GB reserved space in the NVRAM for firmware and driver files with iLO 5, it’s called The iLO Repository.
