Update Firmware Redundant System ROM

[edieee]

Hello,

I have an HPE ML110 Gen10 server. Some time ago I Updated the System ROM firmware to U33 v3.50.
However, in the iLO dashboard for  the redundant Sytem ROM, the version is still listed as U33 v2.64.

The Question is

1. Do I need to update the Redundant Sytem ROM firmware version as well?
2. If so, how do I update the Redundant Sytem ROM?
3. Is there any impact if the redundant Sytem ROM firmware is not updated?

Thank you

Dear  edieee

As per your given information you have update system rom version 3.5 earlier. and you can see backup rom is still showing lower version.  it because you have to update backup rom too. process given below to for update firmware version. Also want to informing you that there is no impact if you not update it. while there is any issue with system board to boot only that option we have to check.

Firmware update process

To update the backup ROM firmware on an HPE ProLiant ML110 Gen10 server using iLO, you'll need to access the iLO web interface, locate the firmware update section, and upload the appropriate System ROM (BIOS) firmware file. After uploading, you can initiate the update process, which may require a server reboot. 

Hope, I could provide you with clear and helpful instructions. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, don't hesitate to ask. I'm here to help! Have a great day!!

The backup ROM always had the older version so that you could revert to it if there were problems with the new version.
Therefore, there is actually no reason to update the backup ROM as well.

From the Server User Guide:

Redundant ROM support
In the standard implementation, one side of the ROM contains the current ROM program version, while the other side of the ROM contains a backup version.

When you flash the system ROM, the flashing mechanism writes over the backup ROM and saves the current ROM as a backup, enabling you to switch easily to the alternate ROM version if the new ROM becomes corrupted for any reason. This feature protects the existing ROM version, even if you experience a power failure while flashing the ROM.When you flash the system ROM, the flashing mechanism writes over the backup ROM and saves the current ROM as a backup, enabling you to switch easily to the alternate ROM version if the new ROM becomes corrupted for any reason.
