To update complex firmware if you have complex firmware earlier than the Online Firmware
Update firmware release, see the UPDATE FIRMWARE section in the HP Integrity Superdome 2
Onboard Administrator Command Line Interface User Guide.
If you select the firmware update link in the left navigation panel, the firmware update selections
screen will be displayed.
This screen displays the options available for firmware update:
Analysis Only - Use this option to display the actions that will be executed by the update. This
option will run the analyze update and exit without executing the update. No Firmware will
be modified.
Force Downgrade - Use this option if you are downgrading the firmware to a previous version.
The firmware update process will fail if you are downgrading and this option is not selected.
Reinstall - Use this option to reinstall a firmware bundle of the same revision as the one already
on the system. By default, entities with the current version of firmware will not be updated.
This option will overwrite every image on the system so it may take longer than other options.
The next table on this screen allows for the selection of the Update Type:
Update All Firmware - This option will update ALL Complex and Partition Firmware on the
system.
Update Complex Firmware - This option will update only the Complex Firmware on the system.
Update nPartition Firmware - This option will update the nPartition Firmware for the selected
entities.
NOTE: If Update nPartition Firmware is selected, a new table will be appear that allows the
selection of unassigned blade resources and existing partitions.
You can select all or one or more partitions or blades from each list. After the update type and
targets are selected, you will need to determine if the firmware image being installed is from a
URL or is located on a USB drive plugged into the DVD module in enclosure 1. USB update options
are only shown when a USB drive is plugged in and has a valid firmware image on it.
IMPORTANT: To update firmware on a Superdome 2 System, you must be an “Administrator”
level user assigned access to the partitions which you are attempting to update. Partition firmware
update will not be allowed without assigned access to the partition.
Firmware image download
After starting an update, a progress bar showing the progress of the firmware image download
will be displayed.
Firmware analysis
When the firmware bundle download completes, the GUI will display a wait bar while the system
runs the firmware analysis.
After the system completes the firmware analysis, the GUI will display the analysis results on an
analysis page. This page will contain sections that may display notice, warning, and error messages.
It will also display the list of partitions and components that will be updated if the analysis was
successful.
