HP Insight Control Server Provisioning 7.2 Online Help

NOTE: The ProLiant SW – Offline Firmware Update Build Plan will leave the server
booted to the Linux service OS. If you are updating firmware on a server already provisioned with
an OS and you want your server booted back to this OS after the firmware update is complete,
perform the following steps to create a Build Plan that leaves your server booted to its provisioned
OS:
1. Save the HP-provided Build Plan to a new name
2. Edit the Build Plan copy
3. Delete the last two steps of the Build Plan: Boot and Wait for HP SA agent.
4. Add a Reboot step at the end of the Build Plan
5. Add a Wait for HP SA Agent step to the end of the Build Plan and specify these
parameters:
• --production
• --atLeast 3
• --atMost 10
6. Save the Build Plan
The following steps must be completed before running the Build Plan.
1. The HP Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) must be on your Media Server (see “To download an
SPP” (page 25) and “To copy an SPP to your Media Server” (page 26)).
2. The parameter for the Set Media Source step in the Build Plan is preset to use the mount
point /mnt/ms to mount the SPP from the Media Server specified on your Settings page. If
you would like to specify a different mount point, specify the following parameter:
smb://<username>:<password>@<Media_Server_IP>/<sharename>/<path>#<mount_point>?noserverino
where username, password, Media_Server_IP, sharename, and path should all be
substituted with information specific to your Media Server. The mount_point is the mount
point where the file share is to be mounted on the target server.
NOTE: If you have a Linux Media Server, your parameter will start with nfs://, not smb://.
3. The following parameters are available for the Update Firmware Using SPP step in the
Build Plan:
• ––spp_version – This optional parameter specifies the SPP version to use. By default,
the latest SPP version is used. Use this parameter to specify a particular SPP version, such
as ––spp_version=2012.08. The SPP folder must exist on the file share for your Media
Server and the contents of the SPP must have been previously extracted to it.
• ––hpsum_options – This optional parameter specifies any additional arguments to the
HP SUM utility used by the Update Firmware Using SPP Build Plan step to perform
the firmware update. The syntax of this option is: -—hpsum_options=”<option1
option2 ... optionN>”. For a detailed description of the available HP SUM options,
refer to the hp/swpackages/CLIHelp.txt file in the SPP.
• ––hpsum_logs_dump_dir – This optional parameter specifies a directory on a file
share where the zip file containing the HP SUM logs will be written. The HP SUM log
files, which contain the results of the firmware update for each hardware component,
can be optionally saved to your Media Server or some other system as a single zip file
by specifying the -—hpsum_logs_dump_dir=<directory_name> parameter to the
Update Firmware Using SPP Build Plan step. The <directory_name> must be
a path that begins with the file share mount point followed by a directory under that file
share where the zip file containing the HP SUM log files will be copied to.
For example, if you have a mounted file share under /mnt/ms in the Set Media
Source Build Plan step and you want the zip file to be placed in the hpsum_logs folder
