Reboot Requirement: Reboot is required after installation for updates to take effect and hardware stability to be maintained. Installation:
To use Smart Update Manager from the Service Pack for ProLiant: Offline: - Service Pack ProLiant Offline mode boots a special Linux OS environment, thus the Linux Smart Component are used, not the VMware Smart Components
Remote Online, if the component is supported by SUM but is not yet part of an SPP: - Download the appropriate Service Pack for ProLiant
- Add the component to the Service Pack for ProLiant
- Mount the Service Pack for ProLiant on a remote server running Windows or Linux that has a network connection to the ESXi host to be updated
- Run Smart Update Manager via launch_sum.bat for Windows or launch_sum.sh for Linux
- Add the ESXi host to be updated as a remote target/node
- Enter the IP or DNS address of the ESXi host to be updated
- Enter the ESXi host credentials (root or administrator username and password)
- For Smart Update Manager 6.0 and newer, select both the Additional Package with the added component and the Service Pack for ProLiant Baseline on the node Inventory page.
- Follow Smart Update Manager Steps and complete the firmware update.
- Refer to the Service Pack for ProLiant Documentation for detailed instructions at: www.hpe.com/servers/spp/download
To use HPE Insight Control for vCenter : - Log in to the vSphere Client.
- Select a server or cluster in the inventory tree.
- Click the HPE Insight Management tab.
- Follow Insight Control for vCenter steps to update firmware using a Smart Component
To update firmware from VMware ESXi operating system on target server: - Enable Tech Support Mode on the ESXi host.
- Login as root. (You must be root in order to apply the ROM update.)
- Place the Smart Component (CPxxxxxx.zip) in a temporary directory.
- From the same directory, unzip the Smart Component.
- Ensure that the file CPxxxxxx.vmexe is executable. Execute the command:
- To perform the standalone installation, execute the command:
- Follow the directions given by the Smart Component
- Logout
- Disable Tech Support Mode on the ESXi host
- Reboot your system, if required, for the firmware update to take effect
