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 Superdome 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 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. By default, HP SUM selects Upload but Do Not Activate.
