Scenario 2 – Using HPSUM through command-line in an existing customer deployment solution
NOTE
The OA must be updated using Scenario 1 or the OA web interface. OA component can be
scripted by itself by using the smart component with command-line parameters.
Use these steps to deploy firmware to c-Class server blades with installed operating systems and Onboard Administrators:
1. Download the latest ProLiant Essentials Firmware Maintenance CD and create a CD from the ISO image.
2. Create a USB key (2GB recommended) using the HP USB Key Utility for Windows.
3. Copy updated ROMs from the web and add them to the \compaq\swpackages directory on the USB key.
4. Execute HPSUM manually by running \compaq\swpackages\hpsum /silent.
NOTE
The /silent option must be used to suppress the GUI.
Other useful command-line options are listed in Table 4-1.
