NonStop Firmware Matrices

7. To install the firmware components using the HP SUM - Graphical User Mode, follow the steps
in the Installations Instructions tab.
In the HP SUM Select Targets screen:
• Select or add the IP address for the blade to be updated. If HP SUM has been run
previously on the system, the Select Targets screen might already contain the target blade
IP address.
• When adding the IP address for a blade, an Associated Targets popup window appears.
This window shows the c7000 enclosure Onboard Administrator (OA) IP address as an
associated target for the blade. Click Deselect All, then click OK.
• The credentials for the blade are the iLO login user name and password.
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. Use of this option depends on the system
configuration:
◦ If the blade is running with HSS (T8004) version AAU, BAA, or BAC, or if the blade
is a replacement or add-on that has not been booted on the system, you can select
the Reboot System After Installation option.
◦ If the blade is running with HSS (T8004) version AAR or AAT, do not click the Reboot
Options button. Use the default Reboot to activate postponed setting.
• 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.
