BL460c G6 firmware upgrade failure
When I attempt to run the auto update it will do it's scan "Analyzing system for unattending updates. This may take several minutes." Then will come back with a "No updates needed" message.
I am running the update by mounting an image from the iLO.
When I attempt a manual install, and choose the "force a package" option it will install everything in that package, but fail to install the firmware.
If I run the auto update several times it will suddenly work.(This has happend on two other cards), and on a few cards it has worked the first time.
I have made no changes to anything between when it works and when it does not work.
Thank you,
Howard

Re: BL460c G6 firmware upgrade failure
Hello Howard,
It is recommended to use the "Smart Update Firmware DVD" to update blade server firmware:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=3709945&prodSeriesId=1844065&prodNameId=3692952&swEnvOID=1005&swLang=8&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=MTX-98ce7a50a19a4d4994aaad8d0e
The Smart Update Firmware DVD will take of the dependencies and sequence.
refer the "HP BladeSystem Firmware Deployment Tool User Guide" for deployment options:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01904533/c01904533.pdf
Refer from page number 6 for "Using the Firmware Deployment Tool"
>"Updating an individual server locally"
>"Updating an individual server remotely"
>"Updating multiple servers simultaneously" And
>"Updating multiple enclosures simultaneously"
Also, refer the "HP BladeSystem Firmware Maintenance - Compatibility Matrix"
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/blades/components/c-class.html#tab3_content
Also, refer the HP BladeSystem ProLiant Firmware Management Best Practices - Implementer guide:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c02049593/c02049593.pdf
And, HP BladeSystem ProLiant Firmware Management - Technical paper:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c02225412/c02225412.pdf

Re: BL460c G6 firmware upgrade failure
When I choose automatic it does not recognize that the firmware version is newer than the one currently on the card. I was finally able to get all of my firmware updated by continually running through the automatic process.
I have been through this process many times on several of our other lab enclosures with no issue. I only encountered it when upgrading from 9.10c to 9.20b.
I did not change any variables between when it finally worked, and the many times that it failed.
I also experimented with the manual install trying to use the "force" option, and it would also fail.
I am in the process of writing a document for our operations team, and need to understand why this is happening so I can note it in the document, or explain a work around for them.
Thank you,
Howard

Re: BL460c G6 firmware upgrade failure
I have found when we did this update that all our windows servers updated but some SUSE linux servers said no updates required.

I have not had a chance to test it yet as all my firmware is 100% updated, but I may do a forced downgrade to test later.
