NonStop Firmware Matrices

4. Verify the integrity of the downloaded file. The small (<100 Bytes) file on the firmware download
page contains the MD5 checksum for the large (>100 MB) file. To verify the integrity of the
large file:
a. Use an MD5 utility to calculate its checksum. For more information, see the instructions
for your MD5 utility.
b. To display the correct checksum value for the file in the browser, click the Download
button for the MD5 file.
c. Compare the calculated checksum value with the correct value. If the two values do not
match, the download might be corrupted. Download the large file again, then repeat the
MD5 verification.
5. Follow the steps in the Installation Instructions tab to extract the HP SUM and firmware
component files to the NonStop System Console.
6. 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 DNS name for the server to be updated. If HP SUM has been run
previously on the system, the Select Targets screen might already contain the target server
IP address.
NOTE: If there is a problem with the DNS name not being recognized or being
associated with a stale IP address:
1. Open the DNS server control panel window.
2. Right-click the top-level DNS server (this should have the NSC console name), and
select the Clear Cache action.
3. Right-click the top-level DNS server again, and select the Refresh action.
• The credentials for the server 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 server in order to write the system firmware to the server flash memory, then power
up the server 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 server before you click the Install button to start the firmware
update.
• If the Reboot to activate is postponed, the processor on the server 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 server.
b. Causes the new iLO firmware to be written to the server flash memory.
c. Reboots the iLO processor with the new iLO firmware.
d. Downloads the system firmware to the server.
e. (Optional) Powers off the server to enable the new system firmware to be written to the
server flash memory.
f. (Optional) Powers on the server 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
