If you have a HPE Passport login you can create a custom SPP (HPE's Service Pack for Proliant) package - So here you can filter and select Firmware, Drivers and Software and then for operating systems Linux/Windows. Ensure you select to include HPE SUM ( Smart Update Manager) which is a standalone tool to inventory and upgrade your node (server). This is likely to give you a smaller ISO file that can fit onto a single layer DVD. The downloadable SPP includes Windows/Linux drivers/software etc.

Also, this is great as the standard SPP you download from HPE.com is a point in time upgrade, current version although released earlier in 2016, most components are end of 2015, so this custom package has the latest versions of the components. So then you burn the ISO to a DVD/USB and run HPE SUM from it and inventory your Proliant and select which components to upgrade (firmware/drivers/software). I'm basing my comments on Windows version of HPE SUM as we use windows servers only.

You can make the disk bootable and have it upgrade firmware that way, but you need to select Linux firmware updates as the bootable disks use a linux environment. This is what we use for customer server builds where no O/S is installed. Dropkick wrote: How am I supposed to update it then.? As well as the iLO and the Storage Array.?So you can use a USB Key. Problem solved;p. I'd expect HP to have similar capabilities with different names. HP ILO can boot ISO but it is a licensed feature, unlike the iDRAC (big disadvantage).

If it is blocked work, I would go home and burn it to a dual layer DVD, problem solved. DVD readers can read single / dual layered discs.

So here’s a brief log on updating an HP DL350e Gen8 server using HP’s Smart Update Manager version 7.6.0 (HP SUM). The server in question hadn’t been thoroughly updated basically since it it first started working and considering it was acting kind of strange, it seemed like the proper thing to do. Choose which update method you need to use (you’re reading a very simple server install, which will use the HP Smart Update Manager zip) Download the HP SUM ISO as well and mount it (if using the ZIP method), you’ll need it for the initial baseline.

In that case, if it's not licensed I'd get quotes for licensing ALL servers for this capability. Then present that plus a request for exception to policies that ban booting to USB drives. Also perhaps a quote for some dual layer DVD's. Cheap, Fast or Easy. Use HP Smart Update Manager, HP SUM. Download and run, runs in web browser. Can be run on localhost, what HP deems the server to be upgraded, or run on another computer and update 'nodes'.

Download the latest SPP and place it into the 'Baseline'. Set up how to detect your HP servers, iLO, Windows credentials, WMware vCenter. Drivers Hp Scanjet 3970 Xp. Canon Vixia Hr300 Manual Muscle.

Quick video to get you familiar Download site, quick specs, manuals The 7.5.1 manual, read from front to back trust me you'll need to. Tell you the truth I just set it up last week after spending two days reading the manual, how to guides, and so on. I have a ESXi host, with no vCenter so I set it to detect by iLO, you'll need the iLO IP address and credentials. After adding the basline, that took about a half hour 45 minutes, I used it to analyze what updates I needed.
