Upgrade, rewrite, or downgrade a specific firmware component

Make sure the SPP containing the desired firmware is copied to your Media Server as described in Upgrade the firmware (SPP) on my ProLiant server. You can then use the ––spp_version parameter in the Update Firmware Using SPP step of the ProLiant SW - Offline Firmware Update Build Plan to specify the SPP to use.

The Update Firmware Using SPP step uses the HP SUM utility provided with the SPP to perform firmware updates. By default, HP SUM updates all components and does not permit a downgrade of firmware. However, there are HP SUM options that enable you to only update the firmware on specified hardware components or force a downgrade of firmware. Use the ––hpsum_options parameter in the Update Firmware Using SPP step of the Build Plan ProLiant SW - Offline Firmware Update to use the options. For ––hpsum_options syntax, see Upgrade the firmware (SPP) on my ProLiant server. For a detailed description of the available HP SUM options, refer to the hp/swpackages/assets/doc/CLIHelp.txt file in the SPP.
