Hp sum supported firmware for integrity servers, Deployment modes – HP Smart Update Manager (User Guide) User Manual
Page 11
Deploying firmware to the HP Integrity servers is done remotely and is the same as deploying other
firmware, such as OA, with the following exceptions:
•
Specify the IP address of the monarch (primary) OA on Suppertime 2 enclosures, or the
Monarch iLO 3 management processor on multi-blade servers.
•
On the Select Components screen, click Configure Now, and then select whether you want to
Upload and Activate or Upload but Do Not Activate. The Upload and Activate option
automatically powers down and reboots the server after the update finishes, which activates
the firmware. If you select the Upload but Do Not Activate option, the system firmware will be
pending activation until the server is manually powered off. By default, HP SUM selects Upload
but Do Not Activate.
•
Specify the IP address as the target to update I/O firmware updates on HP-UX servers. You
can only update remote HP-UX targets.
