HP SUM is an updater engine, which performs the update. The Service Pack for ProLiant (HP SPP) is the software package that contains the server components firmware and HP SUM to deploy it.

The following links provides the download page :

You may use the above package for all generation c-Class blades.

You  may refer to the quick start guide for a detailed user guide for SPP:

Hi Vijayasarathy,

Can you also please share the instructions and the caveats or the upgrade sequence, of which one can be done safely to avoid data loss and down time ?

Thanks,
