What does SPP update

Ralf Seefeldt — Thu, 03 Apr 2014 14:48:43 GMT

Ho all,

I have to update the OA, ILO, BIOS of a blade enclosure. However, I must not update any part of the operating Systems (RHEL and VMware).

If I start HP-SUM on a testserver (not a blade), I get hundreds of components like CP018877 or HP-SNMP-AGENTS-9.30-2412.31.RHEL5.X86_64.

For me, that reads like software and not like firmware. However, there is a saying that SPP dows not install anything to the operating system.

So, my question is: How can I install the required Firmware, OA etc with SPP and not install anything to the operating systems?

Thank you for your help.

Bye

Ralf

You may have a look at the OAs enclosure firmware management feature, this will boot the blades from SPP and automatically updates the firmware only. Update the OA separately.

is there any caveats or steps by steps instructions in how to do that firmware update using the HP SPP ?
