Description

Best practice

Do not update the firmware on a managed device unless the firmware baseline is
set to manage manually.

Verify the managed device setting
before updating the firmware.

HP recommends using HP SPPs. You can use HP SUM to create custom SPPs, which
can be uploaded to the appliance repository. Because the appliance only supports
installing SPP ISO files, use HP SUM to insert firmware updates into an existing
SPP to create a custom SPP.

Download HP SUM

as a standalone product.

If you choose to create custom
SPPs, use HP SUM to create them.

The appliance does not back up SPPs, so store custom SPPs in a repository that is
not on the appliance, such as in the HP SUM repository used to create the custom
SPP.

Store custom SPPs in a separate
repository.
