The most current prerequisites for SUM can be found at the SUM documentation page

/servers/hpsum/documentation.

Limitations

Known Limitations

The following is a select list of known issues and limitations relating to the smart components and

SUM version delivered with this HPE VUP.

Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) Repository update for components updateable by the Unified Extensible

Firmware Interface (UEFI) do not install, if the "Reboot" Parameter in Smart Update Manager (SUM)

is set to "Never." See this Customer Advisory for more details.

While performing iLO5 updates on Linux OS, the user may see multiple Windows firmware

components listed for installation. This is expected behavior.

Drivers and/or enablement kits must be installed prior to detecting and updating some hardware and

firmware - SUM may need to be run twice for all firmware components to be presented for an

installation.

Drivers and/or enablement kits must be installed prior to detecting and updating some hardware and

firmware. There are several scenarios when SUM may need to be run twice for all firmware

components to be presented for installation. This is due to a requirement that drivers are needed in

order for SUM to discover some hardware and thus the needed firmware. After the drivers are

installed for the first time and the system rebooted, SUM needs to be run again for all of the firmware

components to be presented for installation.

The following HPE Mellanox adapters support InfiniBand mode only:

 HPE Apollo InfiniBand EDR 100Gb 2-port 840z Mezzanine FIO Adapter (HPE Part Number:

843400-B21)

 HPE Apollo InfiniBand EDR 100Gb 2-port 841z Mezzanine Adapter (HPE Part Number:

872723-B21)

 HPE InfiniBand EDR 100Gb 1-port 841QSFP28 Adapter (HPE Part Number: 872725-B21)

Drivers supporting InfiniBand mode of operation are not distributed via the HPE VUP. Mellanox

drivers included in HPE VUP support “Ethernet + RoCE” mode only and have to be used only with

those adapters supporting Ethernet mode of operation.

Installation

There are two methods for using the VMware Upgrade Pack to update your ProLiant servers: Online

mode Remote Update and Offline mode.

Online mode Remote Update- Runs on Windows or Linux hosted Operating System to remotely

update client Operating system.

 Interactive mode - Follow the onscreen steps to update firmware components.

To initiate deployment in interactive mode, run the launch_ (windows) or

launch_ (Linux) script which is found in the root of the .iso image through client.

Offline mode - Server is booted to the .iso image

 Interactive mode - Follow the onscreen steps to update firmware components.

 Automatic mode - Firmware components will be updated without interaction. Automatic mode

will by default run firmware update without any user interaction after sitting 10 seconds at the

menu screen when an HPE VUP .iso image is used to boot the server.

Installation Instructions

Follow these steps to install the components found on this HPE VUP:

1. Download the HPE VUP 1.4.3 .iso file from the HPE VUP download page:

/global/swpublishing/MTX-3762cce274214ab8acb4a5dd9c

2. Determine how to access the data on the ISO – bootable USB key, mounted ISO, etc. Use

the appropriate tool to obtain the ISO in the desired format.

3. Determine how to initiate deployment to the targets using the HPE VUP – Offline mode or

Online mode:

a Online mode - Runs on a Windows® or Linux hosted operating system

b Offline mode - Server boots from the HPE VUP ISO (Bootable ISO only)

i Automatic mode - Firmware components update without interaction

ii Interactive mode - Onscreen instructions guide the user to update firmware

components

4. Initiate deployment.

To initiate deployment in online mode:

 From the HPE VUP folder:

o Windows: launch_

o Linux: ./launch_sum

 For VMware hosts, select the host to update as a remote target. Online firmware update on a

Gen10 VMware host requires the iSUT for ESXi software to be installed on the VMware host.

 To review the EULA, locate which is found in the root of the ISO.

For more information, see the SUM User Guide and HPE ProLiant Best Practices Implementation

Guide. /servers/SUM/documentation

To initiate deployment in Offline mode:

 Boot the server to the HPE VUP using one of the supported methods including mounting the

ISO or using a bootable USB key.

 Select either Automatic mode or Interactive mode.

o If Automatic mode is selected, the firmware will be automatically updated on the

server without any further interaction.

o If Interactive mode is selected, follow the instructions on the screen.

 Select the Firmware Update option on the screen to start SUM

Additional Information for using the HPE VUP on VMware Operating

Systems

The HPE VUP can deploy drivers and firmware to a Gen10 system running a supported VMware

operating system in an online mode. Drivers are also available at Software Delivery Repository -

vibsdepot.

Additional Resources

Using a PXE Server to Deploy Components from the full HPE VUP ISO

over a network

Follow these steps to use a PXE server to deploy components from the full HPE VUP ISO over a

network.

The files needed to configure the menu system for use with a ‘pxe’ server can be found in the

PXE directory on the full HPE VUP ISO.

Prerequisites

The following is required before proceeding with the configuration:



The user must have a good working knowledge of PXE and TFTP.

A network with a DHCP server on it.

A TFTP server configured on the same network as the DHCP server.

A network file server hosting the ISO images that can be accessed by a PXE booted system.

Either PXELINUX (/wiki//PXELINUX) [For legacy boot

mode] or GRUB2 (/software/grub/) [For UEFI and legacy boot mode]

The use of a Linux TFTP server and the TFTP package

/pub/software/network/tftp/ is assumed. Other TFTP servers should work

similarly.

Setup

Before proceeding with the configuration, ensure that the TFTP server as well as the PXELINUX or

GRUB2 configuration are setup and configured properly. ELILO

(/projects/elilo/files/) may be used also. GRUB2 is recommended for UEFI boot

mode, legacy boot mode, or mixed environments where both legacy and UEFI boot mode support

are required.

To set up PXE boot for the HPE VUP:

1. Copy the HPE VUP ISO image to the network file system, and note its location. NFS and

Windows® file shares as well as HTTP connections are supported.

2. For this example, the NFS path to the ISO image used is

192.168.0.99/path/to/VUP/image/(VUPfilename).iso. Test the network file system to ensure

that it is accessible before proceeding.

3. The /pxe directory of the ISO image will need to be accessed, either by burning the ISO

image, mounting the ISO image, or extracting it using a third-party tool.

4. Copy all the files from the /pxe directory of the ISO image to the TFTP server so that they are

accessible by the TFTP software. See important instructions and information in the

/pxe/ file (for legacy boot mode PXELINUX configuration).

Configuring GRUB2

Follow these steps to configure GRUB2:

1. Run the command grub2-mknetdir --net-directory=DIR where DIR is the root of the TFTP

server.

2. Configure DHCP using the helpful output of the grub2-mknetdir command above (arch =

00:07 for UEFI boot mode and arch = 00:00 for legacy boot mode).

3. Edit the files on the TFTP server to set the appropriate paths to the kernel vmlinuz

image file and the initial ramdisk image file which were copied to the TFTP server

from the HPE VUP ISO /pxe directory.

Configuring ELILO

Follow these steps to configure ELILO:

1. Add an EFI folder on the TFTP server which contains , , and

2. Add details in as it is given for configuring (see below).

3. Change the DHCP configuration as given below:

if option arch = 00:07 {

filename "pxelinux/";

} else {

filename "pxelinux.0";

}

Configuring PXELINUX

Follow these steps to configure PXELINUX:

1. Using the file from the /system/ directory of the ISO as a guide, copy the labeled

targets to the PXELINUX configuration file. The entire file does not need to be included:

label sos

MENU LABEL Automatic Firmware Update Version 2020.03.0

kernel vmlinuz

append initrd= media=cdrom root=/dev/ram0 splash quiet hp_fibre cdcache

showopts TYPE=AUTOMATIC AUTOPOWEROFFONSUCCESS=no

AUTOREBOOTONSUCCESS=yes

label vsos

MENU LABEL Interactive Firmware Update Version 2020.03.0

kernel vmlinuz

append initrd= media=cdrom root=/dev/ram0 splash quiet hp_fibre cdcache

showopts TYPE=MANUAL AUTOPOWEROFFONSUCCESS=no

label sos_poweroff

MENU HIDE Automatic & POWEROFF Firmware Update Version 2020.03.0

kernel vmlinuz

append initrd= media=cdrom root=/dev/ram0 splash quiet hp_fibre cdcache

showopts TYPE=AUTOMATIC hp_poweroff

The paths to files on the TFTP server are vmlinuz and . They must be modified to

include any directories or naming conventions that are on the TFTP server.

2. Replace “media=cdrom” with “media=net” on the append line

3. Specify the ISO image path. For the PXE booted server to find the ISO Image, add the ISO

Image path to the append line in the PXELINUX configuration file. Add the following

arguments:

iso1=nfs://192.168.0.99/path/to/VUP/image/(VUPfilename).iso

iso1mnt=/mnt/bootdevice

The iso1 parameter helps the PXE booted HPE VUP locate the ISO image. The iso1mnt parameter

tells the PXE booted HPE VUP where the iso1 image must be mounted.

The final configuration file must be similar to the following example:

label sos

MENU LABEL Automatic Firmware Update Version 2020.03.0

kernel vmlinuz

append initrd= media=net root=/dev/ram0 splash quiet hp_fibre showopts

TYPE=AUTOMATIC AUTOPOWEROFFONSUCCESS=no

AUTOREBOOTONSUCCESS=yes

iso1=nfs://192.168.0.99:/path/to/VUP/image/(VUPfilename).iso

iso1mnt=/mnt/bootdevice

label vsos

MENU LABEL Interactive Firmware Update Version 2020.03.0

kernel vmlinuz

append initrd= media=net root=/dev/ram0 splash quiet hp_fibre showopts

TYPE=MANUAL AUTOPOWEROFFONSUCCESS=no iso1=nfs://

192.168.0.99:/path/to/VUP/image/(VUPfilename).iso

iso1mnt=/mnt/bootdevice

label sos_poweroff

MENU HIDE Automatic & POWEROFF Firmware Update Version 2020.03.0

kernel vmlinuz

append initrd= media=net root=/dev/ram0 splash quiet hp_fibre showopts

TYPE=AUTOMATIC hp_poweroff

iso1=nfs://192.168.0.99:/path/to/VUP/image/(VUPfilename).iso

iso1mnt=/mnt/bootdevice

Additional ISO images can be added by specifying the additional iso# and iso#mnt arguments,

for example, iso2=/path/to/ iso2mnt=/mnt/iso2.

Supported network file system protocols

The following network file system protocols are supported for use with PXE booting:

NFS:

iso1=nfs://192.168.0.99/path/to/VUP/image/(VUPfilename).iso

iso1mnt=/mnt/bootdevice

NFS volumes are mounted with the following options:

o -o ro

o nolock

The mount options can be explicitly set with the iso#opts parameter

iso1opts="rsize=32768,ro,nolock"

Windows® operating systems:

iso1=cifs://192.168.0.99/share/path/to/VUP/image/ (VUPfilename).iso

iso1mnt=/mnt/bootdevice

Windows® operating systems with login credentials:

iso1=cifs://user:****************.0.99/share/path/to/VUP/image/(VUPfilename).iso

iso1mnt=/mnt/bootdevice

HTTP:

iso1=192.168.0.99/path/to/VUP/image/(VUPfilename).iso

iso1mnt=/mnt/bootdevice

Once these steps have been completed, the HPE VUP components are ready to be deployed using

the PXE boot functionality.
