Remote Installation of "Smart Array P420p" Firmware updates on DL380p (Gen8)

[Rob_Bell]

I am trying to remotely install the Firmware updates (cp023887.exe, cp028699.exe, cp029120.exe & cp030725.exe) using PowerShell. 

These Firmware updates are for a "Smart Array P420i Controller" on an HP DL380p Gen:8 server.

The installation keep causing the remote server to crash& reboot or do not install the update at all.

Does anyone have any examples on how this remote installation can be done?

Thanks...

Hi Rob

I recommend you to install the latest SPP, it will update all your drivers and firmwares including the smart array controller.

The installation steps are very easy and needs you to have a remote console (You can get it from iLo for example).

Good Luck.

Hi Rob

I suppose you have your server running on windows server.

you can maybe use the latest software from below link :

Hi,

I installed the "HP Smart Update Manager (SUM)" and applied the patches using that tool. 

It worked fine and I am also able to do remote inventories on the servers as well.

Thanks
