HP ProLiant BL685c G5 Server Blade - Manual (Page 11)

Introduction 11
Using a hard drive
1. Copy the contents of the \compaq\swpackages directory from the CD or ISO image to a directory
on the hard drive where HP Smart Update Manager will be executed.
2. Ensure that execute privileges are available in Linux by using the chmod 700 * command. By
default, the files are copied off the CD in Linux as read-only with no execution privileges.
3. Copy any updated files into the same directory where the files were copied in step 1.
4. Execute HP Smart Update Manager to have the new firmware components recognized.
Deployment of components not on Firmware Maintenance CD
If you have components that are not on the Firmware Maintenance CD that you want to deploy, you can
include other smart components to HP Smart Update Manager environment. To deploy software and
firmware components that are not on the Firmware Maintenance CD:
1. Obtain the components from the HP website ( http://www.hp.com ).
2. Create a bootable USB key (" HP USB key utility " on page 9 ), or copy the \compaq\swpackages
directory to the hard drive, and then remove the read-only bit.
3. Add the additional components to the \compaq\swpackages directory on the USB key or to the
directory on the hard drive with the components from the Firmware Maintenance CD.
4. Start HP Smart Update Manager.
5. On the Source Selection screen, you can specify the directory where all of the components are
located as well as select the Check ftp.hp.com box if you want to include the latest version of
software and firmware components from the HP website (
http://www.hp.com ).
Trusted Platform Module
The TPM, when used with BitLocker, measures a system state and, upon detection of a changed ROM
image, restricts access to the Windows® file system if the user cannot provide the recovery key. HP Smart
Update Manager detects if a TPM is enabled in your system. If a TPM is detected in your system or with
any remote server selected as a target, for some newer models of ProLiant, HP Smart Update Manager
utilities for iLO, Smart Array, NIC, and BIOS warn users prior to a flash. If the user does not temporarily
disable BitLocker and does not cancel the flash, the BitLocker recovery key is needed to access the user
data upon reboot.
A recovery event is triggered if:
• The user does not temporarily disable BitLocker before flashing the System BIOS when using the
Microsoft BitLocker Drive Encryption.
• The user has optionally selected to measure iLO, Smart Array, and NIC firmware.
