Proliant BL490c G7 Firmware update procedure

[dbutch1976]

Hello,

I am trying to determine the firmware update procedure and best practices updating the firmware on a HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure including all of its blades, ILO, and any other physical devices.

I would imagine this is a fairly standard procedure and I have been searching for a process online, but I would imagine there is more than one way to accomplish this so I am also looking for any recommendations or best practices that people may have.

Can someone please assist?

Thanks.

I started this process last Friday, using HP SUM i was able to update the OA successfully.

However when it came to the blades, the progress bar would near 100% and then error out
