firmware and system software updates in one operation HPE SUM and the
SPP offer faster updates of individual servers and dramatically faster
updates of entire BladeSystem enclosures. Further improving system
uptime and stability is the fact that Hewlett Packard Enterprise provides 12
months of support on each Service Pack for ProLiant.
The user experience around HPE SUM and the SPP has been improved in
several ways, starting with the web download. A single web page provides
access to a single download containing both the latest version of HPE SUM
version 5 and the latest SPP. Optional smaller subsets with only specific
types of servers or specific operating systems are offered to save on
download time. The HPE SUM application has been re-written to provide a
more straightforward, intuitive user interface that guides the user through
the steps of discovery, analyses and update, providing comprehensive
information on available updates, criticality and interdependencies. This
information is also available in reports. By providing the option of multiple
local or shared repositories which can be easily updated from hp.com, HPE
SUM provides the tools to optimize stability and consistency throughout
the company. While HPE SUM and the SPP will recommend the
combinations of firmware and system software that Hewlett Packard
Enterprise has found to be the best practice, the application gives
customers the flexibility to set their own specific baseline.
The Service Pack for ProLiant has been rigorously tested with specific
attention for interaction between firmware, drivers and agents both within
the server as well as in interaction with the BladeSystem enclosure
components (Onboard Administrator and Virtual Connect). This testing
ensures the highest quality as well as providing the input for HPE SUM to
deploy updates taking into account all interdependencies, when
determining the correct updates and order of update deployment.
