Updating firmware using Intelligent Provisioning

HPE servers and their installed hardware options are pre-loaded with the latest firmware. However, updated firmware might be available. For ProLiant servers, use the Firmware Update utility to find and apply the latest firmware. For HPE Synergy compute modules, use HPE OneView to update the firmware. Intelligent Provisioning updates can be performed when an SPP update is available.
NOTE:

Firmware Update reflects the latest updates available as per the baseline defined in the latest SPP. Newer updates that were added outside of the latest SPP baseline do not appear on the updates list.

Procedure
  1. On the Intelligent Provisioning home screen, click Perform Maintenance.
  2. Select Firmware Update from the maintenance options.

    The system searches for firmware on the source configured in the System Software Update settings. This might take a few minutes; wait for the display to generate the results.

    NOTE:

    Alternatively, you can download and copy the SPP ISO to a DVD or USB key. To download SPP, see the website (). For instructions on using the ISO, see the SPP quick start guide on the website ().

  3. After the system retrieves the firmware data, it checks the installed hardware components to suggest items to update. Depending on the search, you might be prompted to click Continue to begin the hardware components check.
  4. This might take a few minutes; wait for the display to generate the results.
    NOTE:

    If no new firmware is available, the current version is displayed in the Firmware Update screen.

  5. Select the items to update, and then click Install.
  6. The Review Updates screen displays the selected items.
    NOTE:

    Intelligent Provisioning does not detect all hard disk driver firmware updates. If you need to update HDD firmware, and Intelligent Provisioning does not detect the firmware update, deploy updates from the SPP.

  7. To install all of the selected components, click Continue.

    To perform the update, click Continue on the notification that the installation cannot be canceled.

  8. Click Launch now to initiate the firmware update process.
  9. Click Reboot at the completion of the firmware update process.
