INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Please review all instructions and the "Hewlett-Packard Support Tool License Terms" or your Hewlett-Packard support terms and conditions for precautions, scope of license, restrictions, and limitation of liability and warranties, before installing this package. It is important that you read and understand these instructions completely before you begin. This can determine your success in completing the firmware update.

NOTE: This version of HPSUM allows updating of I/O card firmware online on HP-UX.  Please review instructions for using this feature.

A. Extracting and Running HP SUM

  1. Download the firmware bundle binary <filename>.exe or <filename>.tar.gz in a new folder on your system.
  2. Extract the bundle:
  3. The above steps will extract the contents of the bundle in the new folder where the bundle file is located. HP SUM and firmware components will reside in the same folder.
  4. Execute hpsum, located in the extracted folder, by logging as a user with Administrator or root privilege.  Executing hpsum will bring up a graphical user interface of the HP Smart Update Manager (HP SUM).

NOTE: HP SUM also provides a Command Line Interface (CLI) that allows user to perform scripted installations in silent mode. For more information please refer to the HP SUM User Guide or the "CLIHelp.txt" file in the extracted folder.

B. Installing the Firmware Components using HP SUM - Graphical User Mode

  1. Welcome Screen:
  2. Source Selections Screen:
  3. Select Targets Screen:
  4. Review/Install Updates Screen:

COMPATIBILITY/INTEROPERABILITY:

DETERMINING CURRENT VERSION:
HP SUM displays the current version of the firmware on the host. However user can also log in to the iLO-3 MP and use the following procedure to find out the current firmware versions.

  1. Establish a SSH / telnet session with the iLO-3 MP.
  2. Logon to the iLO-3 MP using the Administrator password.
  3. Type "CM" to enter the Command Menu.
  4. Type "SYSREV" to display system revision information. The following should be displayed if the current firmware is installed.

 SYSREV

 Revisions               Active         Pending
  -------------------------------------
 iLO FW              :  01.55.02
 System FW         :  01.95
 MHW FPGA       :  02.02
 Power Mon FW   :  02.09
 Front Panel HW  :  02.00 /* This may differ. Hardware dependent. */
 PRS HW            :  02.06 /* This may differ. 2.07 is OK too. */
 IOH HW            :  02.02 /* This may differ. Hardware dependent. */

NOTE: If you see a revision in the “Pending” column, it means that this firmware component has been updated BUT the system was not power cycled to activate it. You can proceed with installing a new firmware version. A pending firmware update will be activated on the next power cycle.

KNOWN INSTALLATION ISSUES:

         To resolve this issue, enable the port traffic associated with the HP SUM application by performing the following steps:

    1. Bring up McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention
      • Windows Vista: From the system tray, click the McAfee icon -> Manage Features -> Host Intrusion Prevention
      • Windows 7: From the system tray, right click Host Intrusion Prevention icon -> Configure
    2. Select the Activity Log tab. Notice the entry in the Message column similar to the following: Blocked Incoming TCP from the HOST (x.x.x.x) during execution of HP SUM.
    3. Select the Firewall Policy tab.
    4. On the bottom of the screen, click Add (Add new rule).
    5. Use the following settings for the new firewall rules on your system.
      Action: Permit
      Protocol: IP - TCP
      Direction: Incoming

SUPERSEDES HISTORY:

Bundle Version 26.35

ENHANCEMENTS:

·        None

FIXES:

The following issues are now fixed:

SFW 1.93:

·        Duplicate SFM event 100819 may be displayed after CPU is replaced and system is booted

·        In presence of a 2-slot I/O riser card, HP-UX ioscan may display an extra slot or syslog may show ACPI warnings similar to "could not find bd for ACPI handle".

·        System may take many extra minutes to boot to EFI if unreadable media is in DVD drive. 

iLO-3 1.54.03:

·        Added functionality to disable iLO reset request from the FPGA while firmware is being programmed.

·        iLO serial task errors might cause an iLO hang.

·        iLO internal task priority changed to better insure that the watchdog timer task will reset iLO when necessary.

·        The virtual keyboard and mouse may stop working after an MP reset with OpenVMS.

FPGA 2.02:

·        An iLO firmware hang may prevent reset via the iLO physical presence button; a fifteen (15) second button hold now generates a hardware reset signal regardless of iLO firmware state.

Bundle Version 26.34

ENHANCEMENTS:

·        None

FIXES:

Fixed an issue where a memory update operation may not complete properly when an L2 cache line encounters a second single bit data error. This may result in the possibility of undefined system behavior. See Intel Specification Update for more information. If Specification Update link does not work, HP recommend to go to www.intel.com  and search for the latest version of the Intel® Itanium® Processor 9300 Specification Update.

·         Fixed an issue where PAL returned no information on bus log overflow

·         Fixed an issue where an invalid log format may have been generated by hardware when multiple MLD errors occur in a small window

 Bundle Version 26.33

ENHANCEMENTS:
iLO

·        The  serial port can now be set permanently to AUX mode using a new option provided in iLO. AUX mode will be retained even after an AC power cycle.

FIXES:

iLO

·        The system iLO may hang if it remains up without being reset for days or weeks, and a system power cycle may be required to recover.
