Installing the latest firmware using HP Smart Update Manager

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. HP
Smart Update Manager 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 destroying an 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.
Key features of HP Smart Update Manager are:
GUI and CLI–command line interface
Dependency checking, which ensures appropriate installation order and dependency checking
between components
Intelligent deployment deploys only required updates
Improved deployment performance
Remote command-line deployment
Windows X86 or Linux X86 support
At this time, firmware updates on Integrity systems through HPSUM are done remotely. For example,
HP SUM runs on an x86 Linux or Windows management system and updates targeted Integrity
systems through the network. HP Smart Update Manager supports firmware updates on the BL860c
i2, BL870c i2, and BL890c i2 servers. Firmware bundles for these servers are available and can
be downloaded from the HP website at http://www.hp.com.
