Installing the latest firmware using HP Smart Update Manager (HPSUM)
The HP Smart Update Manager utility enables you to deploy firmware components from either an
easy-to-use interface or a command line. It has an integrated hardware discovery engine that
discovers the installed hardware and the current versions of firmware in use on target servers. This
prevents extraneous network traffic by only sending the required components to the target. HPSUM
also has logic to install updates in the correct order and ensure all dependencies are met before
deployment of a firmware update. It also contains logic to prevent version-based dependencies
from preventing a successful installation and ensures updates are handled in a manner that reduces
any downtime required for the update process. HP Smart Update Manager does not require an
agent for remote installations. After the installation is complete, HP Smart Update Manager also
removes all remote files associated with the installation.
Key features of HP Smart Update Manager are:
•
GUI and CLI
•
Dependency checking, which ensures appropriate installation order and dependency checking
between components
•
Intelligent deployment of only required updates
•
Improved deployment performance
•
Remote command-line deployment
At this time, firmware updates on Integrity systems through HPSUM are done remotely. For example,
HPSUM runs on an x86 Linux or Windows management system and updates targeted Integrity
systems through the network. HPSUM supports firmware updates on rx2800 i4 servers. Firmware
bundles for these servers are available and can be downloaded from the HP website at
For more information about HPSUM, see the HP Smart Update Manager User Guide (
www.hp.com/go/hpsum/documentation
).
