firmware update for Linux server

Hi,
I want to know if I can update the firmware of the linux server by Deploy firmware/drivers. For the windows servers, it's very simple. But when we look in Version control for linux, the firmware is not there.

You need to have the online flash component in your repository as opposed to the offline. When downloading, look for things like "Online ROM Flash Component for Linux - HP ProLiant DL360 G4 (P52)"

Do we need a special agent on the linux server to see the firmware available. Because when iI look on a server with version control, I don't see the version of new firmware available. I,m a responsable for windows servers but it is another guys for Linux.
Thanks for your collaboration!

The Linux server needs to have the Version Control agent running and configured to look back at the VCRM server with appropriate credentials.
