Re: Error whilst upgrading to the lastest BIOS for a BL465c G7
I have this exact same issue, but my systems are running RedHat 6.1
Is there a linux or stand-alone version of this update? Should I apply this update to all blades, or just ones that won't let me update their ROM/firmware?

Re: Error whilst upgrading to the lastest BIOS for a BL465c G7
Hello,
Is there a stand-alone iso/usb to update the CPLD ?

Re: Error whilst upgrading to the lastest BIOS for a BL465c G7
I'm also waiting for an offline update for this CPLD...
HP told us while we had the case open that an offline update will follow, but that was now about half a year ago and we never heard any news about an offline update :(

Re: Error whilst upgrading to the lastest BIOS for a BL465c G7

Suppose I have found an easy way to workaround for this issue.
Had the same fault while updating one of BL465c G7 blade's system BIOS from version 12/28/2011 to 03/19/2012 (whereas other blades with identical config in the same enclosure were updated without any issues). I had no success tried to flash new BIOS via ROMPaq and SPP (used Service Pack for ProLiant SPP_2012.06.0 which include this BIOS version).
Problem was solved after updating of System Programmable Logic Device for this blade (SPLD). For details , please read HP description on a page c02994661 (http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c02994661).
I. To update SPLD on a bare metal blade you need to embed Linux Smart Component for System Programmable Logic Device in to SPP.
1. Visit ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib2/software1/sc-linux-fw/p1156006652/v71524, and download file "CP015808.scexe") .
2. Load HP Service Pack for ProLiant 2012.06.0 from HP store
3. Open HP Service Pack for ProLiant 2012.06.0 in your favorite ISO-management utility (I have used UltraISO).
4. Copy downloaded "CP015808.scexe" file in to the "hp\swpackages" folder of ISO image.
5. Save updated image, burn it or attach as a virtual DVD.
6. Boot server to the ISO.
7. Select attended interactive mode for SUM utility and beware that your added package "CP015808" in installation list.
8. Install package "CP015808". It is normal that iLO connection will be broken during update. Just reestablish it.
9. Reboot blade.
II. Your should perform hard power reset to complete System Programmable Logic Device update.
1. Power down your blade and remove it from enclosure for a period of 1-2 minutes.
III. Now you can update blade system BIOS. To do this you can use same HP Service Pack for ProLiant 2012.06.0 again (for BIOS 03/19/2012) or ROMPaq (for newer versions) .
Good lack!

Re: Error whilst upgrading to the lastest BIOS for a BL465c G7
Well thank you!
Just tried that (implemented the scexe into the HP SPP and booted with the iso) and it worked!
Regards,
Ville

Re: Error whilst upgrading to the lastest BIOS for a BL465c G7
Has anyone found a solution to this issue on systems running VMware ESXi?

Re: Error whilst upgrading to the lastest BIOS for a BL465c G7
same procedure as mentioned above (with the scexe into the SPP).
because running SPP from iso boots an unix system which then runs the scexe! (so it doesn't matter which OS is installed on the server)
regards,
Ville

Re: Error whilst upgrading to the latest BIOS for a BL465c G7
Since this problem has existed for a few years now, I was expecting HP to integrate the solution in the SPP, rather than having customers continue to create custom modified SPP images. I have a case open with them now, we'll see if that is a solution they will provide now. If not, then we can use the method mentioned. Thanks
