Installing ROM firmware updates

1. From HP SIM, position your cursor in the Search field, and enter criteria for the specific models to be

ROM flashed. Click Search. The systems appear.

Searching for specific models is necessary because different models require different ROM firmware

updates.

2. Select the systems to be updated, or select the column header to select all systems.

3. Select Deploy→Deploy Drivers, Firmware and Agents→Install Software and Firmware. The Install

Software and Firmware page appears.

4. Select the systems to be updated, and then click Next.

5. Under Select Items to Install, select HP VCRM. The contents of the selected repository appear.

6. Under Contents of selected version control repository, click the icon to drill down and view

the contents of the Version Control Repository that you selected.

Note: To expand the tree to display all contents, click the icon located in the upper-left corner of

the Contents of selected Version Control Repository section. Click the icon to collapse the

listings.

After navigating down in the repository, select the server, the operating system and the BIOS to be

updated. Scroll down the BIOS list, find the matching server type, and select the most current BIOS

versions. You can select additional items such as the ProLiant and Integrity Support Pack or array

firmware if applicable.

7. Click Next. The Select Install Options section appears. The items are installed in the order in which

they are listed.

8. (Optional) To reorder the items, select the item to reorder and perform one of the following actions.

• Click Move Up to advance the item up.

• Click Move Down to move the item down.

9. Select Force downgrade or re-install if necessary if you are installing software that is older than or

the same as the version currently installed. This option is disabled by default.

10. Select Bring systems to full power before install to bring systems to full power before the installation.

If this option is not selected, the installation is attempted and might fail because the system was not

running at full power.

The targeted system must support Magic Pocket technology to be brought to full power.

If selected, the target systems are brought to full power before the install is selected.

11. (Optional) Clear the Reboot systems if necessary after successful install option if you do not want

to reboot after the installation. However, the successful

task

status indicates that a reboot is required to

complete the update.

12. Click Run Now to update the software. This process can take several seconds. The Task Results page

appears indicating whether the updates succeeded or failed.
