Installing the latest firmware using HP Smart Update Manager
The HP Smart Update Manager utility enables you to deploy firmware components from either
an easy-to-use interface or a command line. It has an integrated hardware discovery engine that
discovers the installed hardware and the current versions of firmware in use on target servers.
This prevents extraneous network traffic by only sending the required components to the target.
HP Smart Update Manager also has logic to install updates in the correct order and ensure all
dependencies are met before deployment of a firmware update. It also contains logic to prevent
version-based dependencies from destroying an installation and ensures updates are handled
in a manner that reduces any downtime required for the update process. HP Smart Update
Manager does not require an agent for remote installations. After the installation is complete,
HP Smart Update Manager also cleans up after itself.
Key features of HP Smart Update Manager are:
• GUI and CLI–command line interface.
• Dependency checking, which ensures appropriate installation order and dependency checking
between components.
• Intelligent deployment deploys only required updates.
• Improved deployment performance.
• Remote command-line deployment.
• Can install firmware for BL860c i2, BL870c i2, and BL890c i2 from Windows X86 or Linux
X86
• Support for updating up to 29 target servers simultaneously.
HP Smart Update Manager is included in the firmware bundles downloaded from hp.com and
is supported on manage / update FW for the BL860c i2, BL870c i2, and BL890c i2 from X86
Windows or X86 Linux.
