NonStop Firmware Matrices

In the HP SUM Review/Install Updates screen:
• The Reboot Options button provides an option for HP SUM to automatically power down
the blade in order to write the system firmware to the blade flash memory, then power
up the blade to reboot using the new firmware.
• If the Reboot System After Installation option is selected, the Reboot to activate is enabled.
Halt the processor on the blade before you click the Install button to start the firmware
update.
• If the Reboot to activate is postponed, the processor on the blade may be running the
NonStop OS when clicking the Install button to start the firmware update.
When you click the Install button to start the firmware update, HP SUM performs the following
actions:
a. Downloads the iLO firmware to the blade.
b. Causes the new iLO firmware to be written to the blade flash memory.
c. Reboots the iLO processor with the new iLO firmware.
d. Downloads the system firmware to the blade.
e. (Optional) Powers off the blade to enable the new system firmware to be written to the
blade flash memory.
f. (Optional) Powers on the blade to reboot with the new system firmware.
HP SUM performs the “optional” actions only if Reboot to activate is enabled.
The firmware update process with Reboot to activate enabled takes 30 to 40 minutes to
complete. During the last 15 minutes of the process, the new system firmware is written to the
blade flash memory. See the WARNING below regarding actions during the write of the
firmware to flash memory.
If Reboot to activate is postponed, additional user actions are required to power off and power
on the blade after exiting HP SUM.
WARNING! During the write of the firmware to flash memory, the blue Locator UID LED on
the blade front panel flashes. The Locator UID LED state is also shown on the OA web interface
Device Bay Summary page, and on the iLO web interface Virtual Front Panel. While the
Locator UID LED is flashing, do not remove the blade from the c7000 enclosure or remove
input power from the c7000 enclosure. If the blade or power is removed, the blade flash
memory might become corrupted. If corruption occurs, the system board in the blade might
need to be replaced.
7. If HP SUM was run with Reboot to activate postponed, the following additional steps are
required:
a. In OSM Low Level Link, halt the processor on the blade that was updated.
b. Open an iLO web interface to the blade that was updated.
c. In the iLO Status Summary screen, click the Press & Hold button, then confirm to power
off the blade.
When the blade is powered off, the new system firmware is written to the blade flash
memory. This process takes up to 15 minutes to complete. Do not remove the blade or
remove the system power during the write process. See the WARNING above for possible
consequences of these actions.
d. After the write of the firmware to flash memory is completed, click the Momentary Press
button to power on the blade. To activate the iLO web interface, you might need to re-enter
the iLO login credentials.
8. After the blade reboots on the new firmware, the processor reappears in OSM Low Level Link
with the PON – No OS image (Halt %100212) status. The processor can then be
reloaded.
