Support limitations • Booting the Smart Update Firmware DVD from iLO virtual media is only supported in the offline Automatic Firmware Update mode. Users attempting to boot in this manner, might experience issues from connection timeouts, difficulties updating iLO firmware, and mouse syncing issues. • Workstation blades are only supported for offline firmware updates. • Virtual OS is not supported for online firmware updating but is supported for offline firmware updates. • When booting in the offline mode, if you do not press any key, the Automatic Firmware Update mode is selected by default, updating the firmware. ◦ If creating a Smart Update Firmware USB key for deploying in the offline Automatic mode, you must use USB Key Utility v1.5 or later. Previous versions of the USB Key Utility might add a selection menu when booting, removing the capability to automatically start the firmware update. When using a USB Key in the Automatic Firmware Update mode, the Smart Update Firmware DVD must be the first ISO copied to the USB Key. ◦ To disable the default selection of the Automatic Firmware Update after 30 seconds, edit the syslinux.cfg file located at the root of the USB key so that the TIMEOUT setting value is 0. • The update attempts to install RPMs, even if it is not necessary.
