Unable to do online System ROM firmware flash when Hyper-V is installed
Is this by design from HP when using Windows server 2008 and what is the recommended update path ? Manual update via firmware-boot-cd ?

Re: Unable to do online System ROM firmware flash when Hyper-V is installed
Because to activate the new bios you still need to reboot the server

Re: Unable to do online System ROM firmware flash when Hyper-V is installed
The reasons for doing an online flash are that you can do it... online... :)
Meaning you can flash firmware and then reboot, once instead of twice. Which reduces downtime, which in turn is critical in many cases in our business.
Additionally, it also requires less manual input, it's kind of tedious having to go around with a boot CD to several thousand servers, when you could do online flash of all other components anytime, and of the System Rom whenever Hyper-V is not used.
So, thanks but no, manual updates are really not an option here, either online flash will work or we will most likely not be upgrading firmware. :)
