When shutting down HP-UX, sometimes a message indicating HP SIM is being stopped will be
missing.
Software/Firmware
The SW column on the system view page indicates both the availability of software updates and
if they are critical. If you click SW status, HP SIM displays the Track Software and Firmware Versions
page.
-------------------------------------------------------------
The following features are not supported from an HP-UX CMS:
• Offline firmware upgrade
• Installs to Onboard Administrator, HP Integrated Lights-Out, or version control
• Installs to servers that are not running the HP Version Control Agent
HP SIM can be set up on a Linux or (better yet) Windows system to gain this functionality.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Install Software and Firmware deployment to an iLO will not work if Trust Platform Module is
disabled on the server.
-------------------------------------------------------------
If you select Deploy→Software/Firmware Baselines→Track Software and Firmware Versions to
install a Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) using the offline mode, and if an identification task is run
while the iLO is running in embedded SmartStart mode, then an extra iLO might be incorrectly and
partially discovered and the deployment task results might show success to the real iLO and failure
to the incorrect iLO. In this case the deployment was successful. Running identification again while
the iLO is not in embedded SmartStart mode will remove the incorrect iLO.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Software or Firmware upgrades through HP-UX and HP SIM require the HP VCA be present on the
target. While SW/FW upgrades from a Linux or Windows CMS can perform target-based FW
upgrades to OA and VC, these upgrades are not possible through an HP-UX CMS.
-------------------------------------------------------------
If SW/FW upgrades are failing immediately with no error code, then be sure there are no instances
of the HP SUM process already running on the CMS. Only one instance at a time can be running.
Kill off the HP SUM process and retry the operation. This includes the following tasks:
• Install Software/Firmware
• Configure or Repair Agents
• Manage System Software Wizard
• Manage SW/FW Baselines
• Track SW/FW Versions
Upgrading HP SIM
When upgrading to an HP SIM 7.0 Simplified Chinese system running W2k8-x64 R2, some
characters in the dialog boxes might be garbled. To resolve this issue, Change the non-Unicode
language setting to S-Chinese under Region/lauguage setting in control panel.
