For a complete list of HP ProLiant systems and software supported by SPP, and updates available in an SPP release, see the HP Service Pack for ProLiant Release Notes on the HP website: http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation Deploying HP Integrity firmware bundles with HP SUM You can use HP SUM to deploy components delivered with the HP Integrity firmware bundles. Deploying firmware to 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, or the Monarch iLO 3 management processor on multi-blade servers. • Specify the server IP address as the target to update I/O firmware on HP-UX servers. You can only update remote HP-UX targets. For more information on HP Integrity firmware bundles, see the Manage HP Integrity Servers Firmware Updates website at http://www.hp.com/go/smartupdate/integrity. Deployment modes The following key terms apply when using HP SUM to deploy updates: Term Local Remote Online Offline Definition The installation runs on the physical hardware you are updating. For example, running a utility on a server to update the system ROM of the server. The installation runs on one system, but updates other physical nodes. For example, updating the OA or HP Integrity server firmware across a network. The installation occurs while the host processor is running in the normal server environment. For example, if the server runs Microsoft Windows Server 2012, the update occurs under this environment. The update does not require you to boot to a special environment to update the firmware. You might need to reboot the node to activate the firmware. In offline mode, the HP SUM boots a small Linux kernel and enables updates to occur on a single server. • Only updates the local system • Only uses a single baseline NOTE: Some features of HP SUM that require the regular local host operating systems are not supported in offline mode. These terms can be used in combination to designate the type of environment required for updates to occur, such as local-online or remote-online. Deployment scenarios HP SUM deploys updates from a local host to one or more remote hosts. If the host running HP SUM uses Windows, you can update Windows, Linux, VMware, or HP-UX targets. If the host running HP SUM uses Linux, you can update Linux, VMware, or HP-UX nodes. You can also update remote HP ProLiant or HP Integrity iLO, OA, and VC nodes from Windows or Linux systems. 12 Downloading, installing, and launching HP SUM
