Deploying Integrity firmware bundles with HP SUM
You can use HP SUM to deploy components delivered with the Integrity Server Bundles, or use HP SUM to pull
updates from the web. For supported HP SUM versions, see "Support and Limitations of HP SUM (on page
10
)."
Deploying firmware to the HP Integrity Servers, including BL8x0c i2, rx2800 i2 server, and Superdome 2
servers, is done remotely and is the same as deploying other firmware, such as OA, with the following
exceptions:
•
You must specify the IP address of the Monarch (primary) iLO-3 MP on the server as the target to be
updated.
•
On the Select Items to be Installed 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 server does not automatically reboot, so you must either
manually reboot or wait for the next regularly-scheduled maintenance reboot for the firmware to be
activated. The default behavior is
Upload but Do Not Activate
.
