Integrated Smart Update Tools

Integrated Smart Update Tools (SUT) is the smart update solution for performing online firmware and driver updates. SUT is used with iLO 4, iLO 5, and with update solutions (management appliances such as iLO Amplifier Pack or HPE OneView and Smart Update Manager (SUM) to stage, install, and activate firmware and driver updates.

The solution must be installed on the operating system, where it updates results through Rich Infrastructure Services (RIS) communication.

• SUT: Polls iLO to check for requests from SUM or iLO Amplifier Pack for updates through the management network and orchestrates staging, deploying, and activating updates. You can adjust the polling interval by issuing the appropriate command-line option provided by SUT. Performs inventory on target servers, stages deployment, deploys updates, and then reboots the servers.

• iLO 5 with integrated Smart Update (Gen10 or later servers only): Performs iLO Repository-based updates by downloading the components from iLO Repository when iLO Installation Queue has the components which can be updated by SUT.

• iLO Amplifier Pack and HPE OneView: Displays available updates for servers. Communicates with SUT (or SUT 1.x) to initiate updates using the iLO Redfish interface. SUT reports the status of updates to iLO Amplifier Pack through iLO Restful Interface.

• SUM: A tool for firmware and driver maintenance for HPE ProLiant servers and associated options.
