Update compute modules

Update firmware for compute modules

  • Through server profile or server profile template:

    You can choose to update the firmware for a specific compute module using its server profile or server profile template.

    1. To update the firmware for a specific compute module, edit the existing server profile or server profile template. Alternatively, create a server profile or server profile template, and specify the version of the SPP. For a fully nondisruptive update, use the hypervisor cluster updates for ESXi.

    For more information on the complete procedure to update compute modules, see the topics about updating with a server profile or server profile template in the HPE OneView Help for HPE Synergy at http://www.hpe.com/info/synergy-docs.

  • Through server profile using HPE Synergy Image Streamer:
    1. Update firmware and drivers on one compute module using an existing golden image through server profile.

    2. Set SUT mode as mentioned in the HPE OneView for Synergy Firmware and Driver Update Guide.

    3. Capture the volume from the compute module which contains the new or updated golden image.

    4. Copy one or more deployment plans that use the original golden image, and then specify the new or updated golden image.

    5. To use the new or copied deployment plan, edit server profiles, and select the Firmware only option for the firmware update.

    For more information on creating golden images and deployment plans, see the HPE Synergy Image Streamer Help.

    All configuration for SUT is done from the command line on the host server. For more information on using SUT, see the Smart Update Tools User Guide at http://www.hpe.com/info/sut-docs.
