Deploying firmware for ProLiant servers using the HP Smart Update Firmware DVD

The HP Smart Update Firmware DVD provides a collection of firmware bundles containing HP SUM
and firmware for ProLiant servers in an ISO image that can be used either in offline (automated
or interactive mode), or online (a scripted or interactive mode) modes. The HP Smart Update
Firmware DVD provides firmware for supported ProLiant servers and options. The Firmware DVD
contains all the firmware for the supported ProLiant servers including BladeSystem enclosures and
Virtual Connect firmware.
In offline mode, the Smart Update Firmware DVD boots a small Linux kernel and enables
firmware updates to occur on a single server using HP SUM.
In online mode, users can leverage the autorun utility to launch HP SUM or browse the DVD
to the \hp\swpackages directory and then execute it directly.
All firmware smart components are placed in the \hp\swpackages directory for use by HP SUM.
If additional firmware smart components are required, then the HP Smart Update Firmware DVD
can be copied to a USB key, and these additional components added to the \hp\swpackages
directory.
IMPORTANT:
of the target server is available in the event the deployment procedure fails.
