How To Upgrade, Rewrite Or Downgrade A Specific Firmware Component

Article: 20000019

Applies to: Release 6.x

To upgrade, rewrite, or downgrade to a specific firmware component:

1. On the Deployment Server, verify the firmware component scexe file exists or copy it to <InstallPath>\hpfeatures\fw-proLiant\components.
2. At the Deployment Console, copy and rename the Upgrade ProLiant Firmware job.
3. Edit the Run Script - Upgrade ProLiant Firmware task in the new job with the following:

Action hpsum.sh arguments

Upgrade hpsum.sh $logfile -c cpxxxxxx.scexe

Rewrite hpsum.sh $logfile -c cpxxxxxx.scexe -e -f:rom

Downgrade hpsum.sh $logfile -c cpxxxxxx.scexe -g -f:rom

where cpxxxxxx is the firmware component file name.

IMPORTANT: File names are case sensitive.

IMPORTANT: The -e (overwrite) or -g (downgrade) command-line options are only for multi-target devices such as hard drives and array controllers. Network Interface Card devices cannot be downgraded.

IMPORTANT: NetXen Network Interface Card firmware will not update with this job since it requires the network to shutdown during the firmware upgrade process.
