Updating firmware
Syntax
The complete syntax for the firmware update command is:
# hpsp_fmt --flash [--force] <server|storage|chassis|--component
<component name> {[,<component name>…]|--deviceid <device Id> ]}>
[--ignorerole] [--reboot] [--scriptmode] [--oaip <ipaddress>]
[--credservice]|{[--oauser <username>] [--oapasswd <password>] [--vcuser
<username> [--vcpasswd <password>]}
You can also replace --flash with -f.
Description
Update the firmware for a component category, a single component, or a set of components:
• To update a single component:
#hpsp_fmt -f -c <component name>
• To update a set of components:
#hpsp_fmt -f -c <component name> [,component name]...
• To update all components of a category:
#hpsp_fmt -f -c <category-name>
If the flash recommendation for a component is NONE or DOWNGRADE, executing the --flash
subcommand without any options does not perform a firmware update because the component’s
active firmware is either up-to-date (for NONE) or is newer than the tool-qualified version (for
DOWNGRADE). In these cases, you can use the --force option to force the firmware update or
downgrade of the component to the qualified firmware version. You can only use the --force
option when updating the firmware of a single component. The --force option cannot be used
when updating a set of components or a category of components.
Recommended process for updating a component's firmware
1. Obtain a flash update recommendation for the component using the -fr or --flashrec
command option. For any component, the firmware update task is closely associated with the
flash recommendation task. Therefore, it is always a best practice to run the flash
recommendation task before performing the firmware update task.
