21.2 About the appliance firmware repository
The firmware bundle repository contains the HP SPPs you upload to the appliance.
You can view the versions and contents of the SPPs in the repository from the Firmware Bundles
screen. Selecting a firmware bundle displays its release date, supported languages and operating
systems, and the bundle components. The screen also displays the amount of storage space available
for additional firmware bundles on the appliance. You cannot add a firmware bundle that is larger
than the amount of space available in the repository.
When you update firmware for enclosures, interconnects, and server profiles, you select from the
versions in the repository.
21.3 About unsupported firmware
A default firmware bundle (SPP) is pre-installed in the appliance and provides the minimum supported
firmware for all supported server hardware and interconnects. When you add a resource to bring
it under management, the resource firmware must be updated to the minimum supported level. The
appliance attempts to automatically update the firmware while the resource is being added to the
appliance. If the update fails, an alert is generated.
Unsupported firmware for firmware bundles
If you attempt to add a firmware bundle that contains firmware below the minimum versions
supported, an alert is generated and the firmware bundle is not added to the appliance firmware
repository.
Unsupported firmware for enclosures
When adding an enclosure, the appliance:
•
Generates an alert if the logical interconnect firmware for the interconnects is below the
required minimum level or if the interconnect firmware levels do not match. You must update
the logical interconnect firmware from the Logical Interconnects screen or REST APIs.
•
Updates the OA firmware automatically, if below the required minimum
•
Updates the iLO firmware automatically, if below the required minimum
Unsupported firmware for server profiles
You are prevented from applying server profiles if the associated iLO firmware is below the minimum
supported version, and instead, are directed to the Server Hardware screen to update iLO firmware.
Unsupported firmware for interconnects
If you attempt to add an interconnect with firmware that is below the minimum supported version,
an alert is generated. You must update the logical interconnect firmware from the Logical
Interconnects screen or REST APIs.
The Firmware panel of the Logical Interconnects screen displays the installed version of firmware
and the firmware baseline for each interconnect.
21.4 The firmware update process
Firmware bundles enable you to update firmware on servers, blades, and infrastructure (enclosures
and interconnects).
•
To update the firmware on all devices in an enclosure, you select a new SPP as the new
firmware baseline and to apply it to either the enclosure only (OA firmware), or to all the
