To re-create an SPP to your Media Server

The HP-provided Build Plans that deploy SPPs require the SPP contents to be in the directory

<
File share name
>/Media/spp
on your Media Server. Each SPP version has its own folder and the folder proper name must be the SPP version. For example, if the SPP is version
2014.02.0, the contents of the SPP should be copied to

<
File share name
>/Media/spp/2014.02.0

on your Media Server.

For a Windows Media Server:

1. 
   Using your favorite Windows ISO mounting utility, mountain the SPP ISO onto a folder accessible from your Media Server. The binder does not accept to be on the Media Server but it must be accessible from the Media Server via a mapped network drive. You may mount the ISO on a Linux system as long as you can map a network bulldoze to it from your Media Server.

2. 
   Follow the instructions in the
   HP Insight Control Server Provisioning Installation Guide
   to download the HP Insight Control server provisioning Media Server setup utility and use it to re-create the SPP ISO into the appropriate folder on your Media Server.

1. 
   Mountain your SPP ISO using the Linux
   mount
   command with the
   -o loop
   option.

2. 
   Nether the directory you are exporting via NFS, create the
   Media/spp/<
SPP version
>
   directory, where
   <
SPP version
>
   is the version of your SPP as described above.

3. 
   Copy the contents of the SPP to the
   Media/spp/<
SPP version
>
   directory.

To run the ProLiant SW – Offline Firmware Update Build Plan

You may use the HP-provided

ProLiant SW – Offline Firmware Update

Build Plan to update the firmware on target servers. It is of import to note that the offline firmware update is performed from the Linux service Bone, not production Bone, which ways the server will be rebooted into the Linux service Bone if it is not there already.

The post-obit steps must be completed earlier running the Build Program.

1. 
   The HP Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) must be on your Media Server (see
   Process: To download an SPP
   and
   Process: To copy an SPP to your Media Server).

2. 
   The parameter for the
   
   Set Media Source
   
   step in the Build Program is preset to employ the mount betoken
   /mnt/media
   to mount the SPP from the Media Server specified on your
   
   Settings
   
   screen. If yous would like to specify a different mount point, specify the following parameter:

   smb://<
                   
                     username
                 >:<
                   
                     countersign
                 >@<
                   
                     Media_Server_IP
                 >/<
                   
                     sharename
                 >/<
                   
                     path
                 >#<
                   
                     mount_point
                 >?noserverino
               

   where
   
   username
   ,
   
   password
   ,
   
   Media_Server_IP
   ,
   
   sharename
   , and
   
   path
   
   should all be substituted with data specific to your Media Server. The
   
   mount_point
   
   is the mount bespeak where the file share is to be mounted on the target server.

   	Annotation: If you accept a Linux Media Server, your parameter volition start with nfs://, not smb://.

3. 
   The following parameters are bachelor for the
   
   Update Firmware Using SPP
   
   stride in the Build Plan:

   • ––spp_version
     – This optional parameter specifies the SPP version to utilize. By default, the latest SPP version is used. Use this parameter to specify a detail SPP version, such as
     ––spp_version=2014.02.0. 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 information technology.

   • ––hpsum_options
     – This optional parameter specifies whatsoever additional arguments to the HP SUM utility used past the
     
     Update Firmware Using SPP
     
     Build Plan step to perform the firmware update. The syntax of this pick 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 naught file containing the HP SUM logs volition be written. The HP SUM log files, which incorporate the results of the firmware update for each hardware component, can be optionally saved to your Media Server or some other system equally 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 nether that file share where the zip file containing the HP SUM log files will be copied to.

     For example, if you take a mounted file share under
     /mnt/media
     in the
     
     Set Media Source
     
     Build Plan step and you lot want the zip file to exist placed in the
     hpsum_logs
     folder under that file share, y’all would specify:
     -—hpsum_logs_dump_dir=/mnt/media/hpsum_logs
     as a parameter to the
     
     Update Firmware Using SPP
     
     Build Plan step. When the Build Plan step has completed, the zip file
     /mnt/media/hpsum_logs/hpsum_logs_<
server_id
>_<
timestamp
>.nothing
     will exist created. You may then view the HP SUM logs on the system that is hosting the file share. The file share you mount in the
     
     Set Media Source
     
     Build Program step must be writable in gild for the nil file to exist created. If the directory you lot specify does not be, information technology will be created.

   • -—no_show_log
     – This optional parameter disables showing the
     hpsum_log.txt
     contents in the job log.
