Update Intelligent Provisioning firmware

You can use the HP-provided ProLiant SW - Intelligent Provisioning Firmware Update Build Plan to update HP Intelligent Provisioning firmware. The following requirements must be met in order to be able to run this Build Plan:

PXE booting must be enabled on your deployment network. The Intelligent Provisioning firmware cannot be updated while it is actively running, so the server needs to be PXE booted into the service OS. Make sure you are either using the internal DHCP server on the appliance, or your external DHCP server has been properly configured with all of the required options. See external DHCP instructions in the HP Insight Control Server Provisioning Installation Guide.
The HP Intelligent Provisioning ISO must be extracted on the Media Server under the folder Media/ip/<intelligent-provisioning-version>, where <intelligent-provisioning-version> is the version of the HP Intelligent Provisioning firmware. For example, if you plan on installing HP Intelligent Provisioning version 1.60, you would create the folder Media/ip/1.60 and extract the ISO under that folder. See the media server instructions in the HP Insight Control Server Provisioning Administrator Guide and the HP Insight Control Server Provisioning Installation Guide for more details.

By default, the Build Plan installs the latest Intelligent Provisioning firmware, as determined by the sort order of the versions on the Media Server. This means that if you have a 1.50 and 1.60 folder on the Media Server, the firmware in the 1.60 folder will be installed.

You can request that a specific version of the HP Intelligent Provisioning firmware be installed by setting the IPversion custom attribute to the version you want. For example, set IPversion to 1.50 if you want to install HP Intelligent Provisioning version 1.50.
