Smart Update Tools: Auto mode

Auto mode enables SUT to run in the background on the host server. SUT polls HPE OneView every five minutes (configurable using SUT CLI commands) keeping HPE OneView up to date by posting the progress in the firmware section of the server profile. Auto mode is further configurable using CLI commands to run in other automatic modes, depending on the level of control the SUT OS administrator requires.
  • Automatic stage. When a request is made by HPE OneView, SUT automatically stages the components on the host server in a temporary location (configurable using SUT CLI commands). Any further action requires the Smart Update Tools OS administrator to execute commands from the command line.
  • Automatic deploy. When a request is made by HPE OneView, SUT automatically stages and deploys the components. If the components requires a reboot to activate, the Smart Update Tools OS administrator must execute activation commands from the command line. Components that do not require a reboot are activated during firmware deployment.
  • Automatic deploy and reboot. When a request is made by HPE OneView, SUT automatically stages and deploys the components and reboots the server to activate them if one or more component requires a reboot.

The modes in SUT are installation choices and cannot be configured from HPE OneView. All configuration for SUT is done from the command line on the host server.
