What is Firmware?Firmware is a software program that is stored in Read-Only Memory (ROM) chip on the system board or on an add-on controller. Firmware is responsible for the behavior of the system when it is first switched on and for passing control of the server to the operating system. When referring to the firmware on the system board of the server, it is called the System ROM or the BIOS. When referring to the firmware on another piece of hardware configured in the server, it is called the Option ROM. In ProLiant servers, hard drives, Smart Array Controllers, Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition (RILOE), Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition II (RILOE II) and Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) options have firmware that can be updated. For the purposes of this document, it will be referred to collectively as - firmware. Why to Update Firmware?It is important to update the firmware (Also called - flashing the ROM) as part of regular server maintenance. In addition, checking for specific firmware updates in between regular updates helps to keep the server performing optimally. Firmware updates are created for, but are not limited to, the following reasons:
NOTE: Many product issues that result in hardware replacement are preventable or correctable with a firmware update. HPE recommends checking for a firmware update before sending a part back to HPE for replacement. Based on the HPE ProLiant product return rates, approximately 30 to 35 percent of all returned hardware products were functioning properly and only needed a firmware update. Although not all products fall into this category, server downtime and time spent removing, returning, and ultimately replacing hardware may have been avoided if an attempt had been made to flash the firmware during the troubleshooting process. NOTE: On servers that have add-on options, HPE recommends checking for firmware upgrades for each installed option whenever an update to the System ROM or to another option is performed. This ensures that the system, as a whole, is running the latest updates for each component. HPE has developed several methods for updating the firmware in a ProLiant server and makes it easy to do so. HPE ISS Engineering emphasizes the importance of regular firmware updates to ensure that a ProLiant server is running optimally, making the system and its data less vulnerable to critical hardware and software events. The different firmware update methods are listed below. How to Update Firmware?Once a firmware update is available, from the HPE Business Support Center download pages, the next step is to install the update onto the system. HPE has many methods for updating firmware, making the process easy. The following paragraphs discuss each method and provide information on how to perform the updates. Currently, there are two different methods for updating firmware on HPE servers and options: the traditional Offline ROM Flash, and the innovative Online ROM Flash. NOTE: The Online ROM Flash is not currently available for all products. If an Online ROM Flash is unavailable for a particular server or option, an Offline upgrade will need to be performed. If a server has been deployed more than three months after purchase, upgrade the firmware on the system and also on any options that are installed using the HPE Support Center, rather than the Firmware Maintenance CD that shipped with the server. In addition, it is beneficial to check for firmware updates for any options that may have been in customer stock but are not deployed until later. This ensures that all server components are running the latest firmware versions. Updating Firmware Using The Offline ROM Flash MethodThe Offline ROM Flash, as its name implies, is performed when the server is taken down for regular maintenance. Although the results will be the same, the Offline ROM Flash does not provide the same benefits of the new Online ROM Flash method. In addition, when upgrading remotely, the server administrator can only update one server at a time.There are two methods of performing an Offline ROM Flash.
NOTE: Beginning with the Firmware Maintenance CD Version 7.50, the HPE Smart Update Manager Utility (HPE SUM) has replaced the HPE ROM Update Utility. All other firmware update methods, including Offline Systems ROMPaq and Online ROM Flash are unaffected and continue to be supported methods of flashing the System ROM. The HPE Smart Update Manager (HPE SUM) utility enables the user to deploy software and firmware components from a single, easy-to-use graphical user interface. HPE SUM is delivered with HPE Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) and HPE Integrity firmware bundles. A user can install the HPE System Management Homepage (SMH) as a part of the complete Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP), or they can install the HPE SMH component individually. Click here to access and view information on Installing HPE SMH Using HPE Smart Update Manager. A ROMPaq is a floppy-disk based method of upgrade. The firmware is downloaded onto a floppy diskette and then the system is booted to the floppy drive.The ROM Update Utility is located on the Firmware Maintenance CD, or can be downloaded to a USB Drive Key using the HPE Drive Key Boot Utility. NOTE: Hard Drive components can only be updated using the Offline method. Updating Firmware Using the Online ROM Flash MethodThe Online ROM Flash is an innovative technology developed by HPE that allows the firmware to be upgraded either locally or remotely via a downloadable file called a Smart Component. These Smart Components enable the update to be performed while the server is operational, thereby avoiding costly server downtime. Benefits of the Online ROM Flash include:
The Smart Component updates the firmware and configures the system so that the new settings will take effect on the next reboot. This feature allows the update to be performed but gives the administrator control of when the new settings are deployed. For detailed information on the Online ROM Flash process, Click here to view and read the Online ROM Flash User Guide. Smart Components for HPE ProLiant servers and storage can be obtained from the HPE Support Center Software and Drivers download pages. Click here to access the HPESC web site and the current downloads that are available. All Online ROM Flash upgrades are OS dependent. Two types of OS ROM Flash upgrades are available:
After selecting the HPE ProLiant Server Model Family from the BSC Software and Drivers download site, then select the Operating System that is installed on the system. Scroll down to the BIOS and Firmware section and select the OS ROM Flash upgrade file. For more information on how to deploy firmware updates remotely, refer to the following documentation. Click here to access and view the Insight Manager resources and Information library web site. The HPE Drive Key Boot UtilityThe HPE Drive Key Boot Utility can format an HPE Drive Key so that it can be used as a bootable device. The utility also provides the ability to load the ROM Update Utility on an HPE Drive Key. After the ROM Update Utility has been installed, the Offline ROM Flash Smart Components can be downloaded to the drive key using the ROM Update Utility. System ROM support is required for the HPE Drive Key Utility. For additional information on using the HPE Drive Key Boot Utility, check the following documents that are available. Click here to view and read the 'HPE drive key boot utility for ProLiant servers' User Guide. Click here to view and read the 'HPE 1GB USB 2.0 Floppy Drive Key' Customer Notice. NOTE: The HPE Floppy Drive Key has been discontinued and replaced with the HPE Flash Media Kits for newer HPE ProLiant and Integrity Server products. See the following documentation for information on using the HPE Flash Media Kits. Click here to view and read the 'HP Flash Media Kits Product Quickspecs'. Click here to view and read the 'HPE ProLiant and Integrity FirmwareManagement Best Practices ImplementerGuide'. Using the ROM-Based Setup UtiltiyAfter the ProLiant server system ROM has been upgraded to the latest version, you will need to run the ROM-Based Setup Utiliy (RBSU) and configure the system BIOS for the current hardware configuration and components that are installed into the system. RBSU performs a wide range of configuration activities that may include:
