15 THE ORDER OF UPDATING
16 In What Order do you Update Firmware? If an operating system has already been installed: Virtual Connect Ethernet firmware >=1.34, or no VC Update the OA first. Update Blades next. Use the Automatic or Interactive Modes to update any offline only firmware. (If ilo < 1.78 update ilo first*) Update VC firmware using the VCSU last. Virtual Connect Ethernet firmware < 1.34 Update VC firmware using the VCSU first Update the OA next Update the Blades last. Use Automatic or Interactive Modes to update any offline only firmware. (If ilo < 1.78 update ilo first*) *Can update all ilo easily with OA command update ilo 16
17 AUTOMATIC MODE
18 Automatic Mode The Smart Update DVD Automatic Mode is the Firmware Deployment Tool (FDT) This is on the Smart Update DVD Automatic Mode has been designed for those customers who do not have an installed operating system on their server blades yet or who want an unattended method of deploying firmware in an offline environment You have no control over what it will install 18
19 Automatic Mode When using Automatic Mode, all feedback is provided through the UID lights Upon completion, the UID light is set to one of two states: UID light is OFF The update process has completed and the server operating system can be installed or the server restarted to its previous operating system UID blinks only while updating It can take a bit before the UID starts to blink UID light is SOLID A firmware update failure has occurred requiring user attention 19
20 What Can Automatic Mode Update? Firmware Types Supported by Automatic Mode of the HP Smart Update Firmware DVD ISO (offline only) System ROM Yes ilo 2 Firmware Yes Broadcom NIC Firmware Yes NetXen NIC Firmware Yes, beginning with version FDT 1.70 Power PIC Firmware Yes, beginning with version FDT 1.70 Smart Array controller Firmware Yes SAS and SATA hard drive Firmware behind Smart Array controllers Yes SAS and SATA hard drive Firmware behind non-smart Array controllers Emulex, QLogic and Brocade Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter Firmware Tape Blade Firmware Onboard Administrator Firmware Virtual Connect Firmware No Yes Yes No No 20

29 Interactive Mode Do not mount the DVD ISO image via the ilo vmedia This is only supported in Automatic Mode Mount the DVD via the dongle hooked to a DVD player or use the USB Key Utility to burn the ISO to a USB stick Do NOT try to attach to the ilo during the ilo update!!!!!! You can hook a monitor, keyboard and mouse along with the USB key via the dongle using a USB hub 29
30 USB Key Creator Use the USB Key Creator v1.50 or later to create a USB key of the Smart Update Firmware DVD Available at Search on USB Key Utility or look hp.com under Drivers and Support for a specific blade. It will be shown Utility-Tools section for the blade when a Windows O/S is chosen. In the \hp\swpackages directory you can add:.scexe (Linux FW components) HPSUM will automatically identify the additions 30
31 ONLINE MODE
32 Online Mode (1of 4) The HP Smart Update Firmware DVD ISO is a collection of HP Smart Update Manager (HP SUM), firmware smart components and the latest available driver smart components for Windows that have been tested together to ensure compatibility The Windows driver smart components are provided as a convenience for those customers who might not want to deploy a full PSP, but need the drivers to perform firmware update operations Online updates require an operating system installed on each target server 32
33 Online Mode (2 of 4) The BladeSystem Firmware Update Bundles are meant to be deployed from a Windows or Linux workstation, PC, or server to servers running a supported version of the same operating system Deployment from a Windows workstation to a Linux server or from a Linux server to a Windows workstation is not supported at this time. For workgroup-level deployments of up to 20 servers or network-based devices such as OA and ilo 2, HP SUM should be used to update firmware 33
34 Online Mode (3 of 4) Windows: Must have true Administrator login Linux: A root equivalent user is needed Windows: Must have WMI enabled Linux: ssh must be enabled See Smart Update Firmware DVD User Guide at: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/c-products/servers/management/smartstart/ 34
35 Online Mode (4 of 4) Since Online Mode doesn t provide the ability to update all possible firmware types, additional deployment deliverables must be used to ensure all firmware is updated within a BladeSystem enclosure and to align with the HP BladeSystem Compatibility Chart To update the firmware that cannot be updated by Online Mode, use the Automatic Mode or Interactive Mode Beware Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Check the Smart Update Firmware DVD User Guide 35
36 What can Online Mode do?

41 VCSU Update The "update" action is used to update the firmware on supported VC-Enet and VC-FC modules in the enclosure The update process takes approximately 20 minutes for each VC-Enet module and 5 minutes for each VC-FC module that will be updated (Your time may vary!) Do not close the console application if a firmware update is in progress If the application is closed before the update completes, it may cause module firmware to not be updated properly and could result in the module firmware being inoperative C:> vcsu -a update i <Active OA> u <OA user> -p p<oa password> -l d:\vcfw###. 41
42 VCSU Update Status Summary Actual Update 42
43 VCSU Update Results As Seen From VC Manager 43
44 Virtual Connect Notes (1 of 2) Onboard Administrator firmware 1.30 or higher is required on the target enclosure for VCSU During firmware update operations, the modules are unavailable for use During a firmware update session, only use a single client to update modules in a specific remote enclosure If the firmware update client is interrupted or loses network connectivity during the update, reset the affected module and restart the firmware update process Power off/on enclosure as a last resort! Do not reset or update OA while updating VC! 44
45 Virtual Connect Notes (2 of 2) The utility displays a progress message indicating that an update is in progress and the percentage completed If a firewall is getting in the way of workstation running VCSU and OA/Ethernet VC hook PC directly to OA on the back of the enclosure If update is interrupted reset VC module Power enclosure on/off as last resort! 45
