ISS Technology Update Volume 7, Number 5 Scenario 4 - Using the Firmware Deployment Tool to remotely deploy firmware to c-Class server blades without operating systems NOTE The OA must be updated using Scenario 1 or the OA web interface. OA component can be scripted by itself by using the smart component with command-line parameters. 1. Download the BladeSystem Firmware Deployment Tool at http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/blades/components/cclass-compmatrix.html and choose the Server Blade Firmware & Drivers link, which is located under the "Firmware and management tool upgrades" section of the Web page. 2. Download the latest HP BladeSystem Firmware Deployment Tool CD and create a CD from the ISO image. 3. Using the ISO image or the physical CD, use one of the following methods to deploy the firmware to target servers: • Deploy through Onboard Administrator and then connect through the server's iLO remote console • Boot from mounted ISO image on server blade • Boot from mounted physical CD image on server blade • Boot from mounted USB image on blade • Deploy using the Onboard Administrator enclosure DVD driveUse the Onboard Administrator Insight Display to start CD on each enclosure • Use the Onboard Administrator console to start CD on each server in the enclosure • Deploy using PXE boot service • Deploy using the server's iLO Virtual Media applet by completing the following: - Boot from mounted ISO image - Boot from mounted physical CD image - Boot from mounted USB image NOTE The HP BladeSystem Firmware Deployment Tool CD is an automated ISO image that is meant to be used to deploy firmware to target servers in a hands-off manner. It is effective in updating firmware on blade servers prior to deploying an operating system (bare-metal). The ISO image will boot, update all the firmware on the server on which it has been booted, and then reboot the server. There is no user interface provided with the HP BladeSystem Firmware Deployment Tool. However, iLO's Remote Console functionality can be used to watch the progress of the update on the target server. In the event of a failure, the FWDT will turn on the UID light and load the installation log in an editor. A user must use the iLO Remote Console to view the data on the failing server. 12

Scenario 4 – Using the Firmware Deployment Tool to remotely deploy firmware to c-Class server blades without
operating systems
NOTE
The OA must be updated using Scenario 1 or the OA web interface. OA component can be
scripted by itself by using the smart component with command-line parameters.
1.
Download the BladeSystem Firmware Deployment Tool at
class-compmatrix.html
and choose the
Server Blade Firmware & Drivers
link, which is located under the “Firmware and
management tool upgrades” section of the Web page.
2.
Download the latest HP BladeSystem Firmware Deployment Tool CD and create a CD from the ISO image.
3.
Using the ISO image or the physical CD, use one of the following methods to deploy the firmware to target servers:
•
Deploy through Onboard Administrator and then connect through the server's iLO remote console
•
Boot from mounted ISO image on server blade
•
Boot from mounted physical CD image on server blade
•
Boot from mounted USB image on blade
•
Deploy using the Onboard Administrator enclosure DVD driveUse the Onboard Administrator Insight Display to start
CD on each enclosure
•
Use the Onboard Administrator console to start CD on each server in the enclosure
•
Deploy using PXE boot service
•
Deploy using the server's iLO Virtual Media applet by completing the following:
–
Boot from mounted ISO image
–
Boot from mounted physical CD image
–
Boot from mounted USB image
NOTE
The HP BladeSystem Firmware Deployment Tool CD is an automated ISO image that is meant to
be used to deploy firmware to target servers in a hands-off manner. It is effective in updating
firmware on blade servers prior to deploying an operating system (bare-metal). The ISO image
will boot, update all the firmware on the server on which it has been booted, and then reboot
the server. There is no user interface provided with the HP BladeSystem Firmware Deployment
Tool. However, iLO’s Remote Console functionality can be used to watch the progress of the
update on the target server.
In the event of a failure, the FWDT will turn on the UID light and load the installation log in an editor.
A user must use the iLO
Remote Console to view the data on the failing server.
