Enabling Concurrent Jobs on HP iLO Amplifier Pack for Server Updates

[Tekem]

I am trying to leverage the HP iLO Amplifier Pack API to update multiple systems.  But I see that if we submit the updates in  more than one session, it creates more than one job and each job waits for the others to finish.  Even if its only three servers.  I know iLO amplifier can handle multiple concurrently running updates in a single job (30+ servers), but is there anyway to modify the iLO Amp Pack config to allow it to run more than one firmware update job concurrently when initiated via API calls via scripts?  We are doing the same process with Dell Servers and using Dell Open Manage Enterprise and it runs multiple concurrent jobs with no issues.

Hi,

I hope this helps:

Multiple Deploy only jobs can be performed on different servers in parallel. The supported update method is as follows:

• Deploying firmware and driver components which are already staged.

@Suman_1978 

This is a great find regarding the concurrent deploys.  Thank you.  But I have another question.  Can we stage on multiple server concurrently?

If so, then we can change our process to mimic the functionality on other solutions we are using in house.

Hi @Tekem 

I am doubtful on staging on multiple server concurrently.

I would recommend to log a ticket with HPE Support for further help.
