Integrated Smart Update Tools
Integrated Smart Update Tools (iSUT) is the smart update solution for performing online firmware and driver updates.
iSUT is used with iLO 4, iLO 5, and with update solutions (management appliances such as iLO Amplifier Pack or HPE
OneView and Smart Update Manager (SUM) to stage, install, and activate firmware and driver updates.
The solution must be installed on the operating system, where it updates results through Rich Infrastructure Services
(RIS) communication.
• iSUT: Polls iLO to check for requests from SUM or iLO Amplifier Pack for updates through the management network
and orchestrates staging, deploying, and activating updates. You can adjust the polling interval by issuing the
appropriate command-line option provided by iSUT. Performs inventory on target servers, stages deployment, deploys
updates, and then reboots the servers.
• iLO 5 with integrated Smart Update (Gen10 or later servers only): Performs iLO Repository-based updates by
downloading the components from iLO Repository when iLO Installation Queue has the components which can be
updated by iSUT.
iLO Amplifier Pack and HPE OneView: Displays available updates for servers. Communicates with iSUT (or SUT 1.x)
•
to initiate updates using the iLO Redfish interface. iSUT reports the status of updates to iLO Amplifier Pack through
iLO Restful Interface.
• SUM: A tool for firmware and driver maintenance for HPE ProLiant servers and associated options.
NOTE: SUM and iLO Amplifier Pack should not manage the same nodes.
Updating firmware from the System Utilities
Use the Firmware Updates option to update firmware components in the system, including the system BIOS, NICs, and
storage cards.
Procedure
1. Access the System ROM Flash Binary component for your server from the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support Center.
