HP Systems Insight Manager 7.3 Update 1 Release Notes

Software/Firmware
The HPUX CMS does not support the following features:
• Offline firmware upgrade
• Installs to Onboard Administrator, HP iLO, or Virtual Connect
• Installs to servers that are not running the HP Version Control Agent
You can set up HP SIM on a Linux or (yet better) Windows system to gain this functionality.
NOTE: Install Software and Firmware deployment to an iLO does not work if Trust Platform Mode
is disabled on the server.
If you select Deploy→Software/Firmware Baselines→Track Software and Firmware Versions to
install a HP SPP using the offline mode, and if an identification task runs 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.
Here, the deployment was successful. Running identification again when the iLO is not in embedded
SmartStart mode removes the incorrect iLO.
The Software or Firmware upgrades through HP-UX and HP SIM require the HP VCA to be present
on the target. The SW or 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 Software or Firmware upgrades are failing immediately with no error code, then ensure there
are no instances of the HP SUM process already running on the CMS. Only one instance at a time
must 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
-------------------------------------------------------------
When you deploy software or firmware on the target in offline mode (which already has HP SPP
software or firmware components installed), the task gets completed with success status along with
the Log Target Local host is up-to-date, no updates were needed or nothing was installed before
exiting. If the target has no software/firmware (or older versions), then the task gets completed
successfully, installing latest software/firmware in the target.
User can update servers running VMware ESXi operating systems remotely, while running SIM on
Windows system. For information about the recommended driver and firmware versions for HP
ProLiant servers running VMware ESXi, see the VMware firmware and software recipe available
at HP Online Depot Web site. For more information about the firmware updates, see the HP Service
Pack for ProLiant Release Notes.
