Deploying Integrity firmware bundles with HP SUM

You can use HP SUM to deploy components delivered with the Integrity Server Bundles, or use HP
SUM to pull updates from the web.
Deploying firmware to the Integrity servers is done remotely and is the same as deploying other
firmware, such as OA, with the following exceptions:
You should specify the IP address of the Monarch (primary) OA on Superdome 2 enclosures,
or the Monarch iLO 3 MP on multi-blade servers.
On the Select Components screen, click Configure Now, and then select whether you want to
Upload and Activate or Upload but Do Not Activate. The Upload and Activate option
automatically powers down and reboots the server after the update finishes, which activates
the firmware. If you select the Upload but Do Not Activate option, the server does not
automatically reboot, so you must either manually reboot or wait for the next regularly-scheduled
maintenance reboot for the firmware to be activated. By default, SUM selects Upload but Do
Not Activate.

Definition
The installation runs on the physical hardware you are
updating. For example, running a utility on a server to
update the server's system ROM.
The installation runs on one system, but updates other
physical targets. For example, updating the OA firmware
across a network through a web browser.
The installation occurs while the host processor is running
in the normal server environment. For example, if the server
runs Microsoft Windows Server 2008, the update takes
place under this environment. The update does not require
you to boot to a special environment to update the
