Redundant ROM support Redundant ROM support The server enables you to upgrade or configure the ROM safely with redundant ROM support. The server has a single ROM that acts as two separate ROM images. In the standard implementation, one side of the ROM contains the current ROM program version, while the other side of the ROM contains a backup version.
Safety and security benefits Safety and security benefits When you flash the system ROM, the flashing mechanism writes over the backup ROM and saves the current ROM as a backup, enabling you to switch easily to the alternate ROM version if the new ROM becomes corrupted for any reason. This feature protects the existing ROM version, even if you experience a power failure while flashing the ROM.

HPE ProLiant, HPE BladeSystem, HPE Synergy, and HPE Apollo servers and infrastructure. SPP, along with SUM and SUT, provides Smart Update system maintenance tools that systematically update HPE ProLiant, HPE BladeSystem, HPE Synergy, and HPE Apollo servers and infrastructure.
Smart Update Manager Smart Update Manager SUM is an innovative tool for maintaining and updating the firmware, drivers, and system software of HPE ProLiant, HPE BladeSystem, HPE Synergy, HPE Superdome Flex servers, and HPE Apollo servers, infrastructure, and associated options.
SUT: Polls iLO to check for requests from SUM, iLO Amplifier Pack, or HPE OneView for updates through local iLO using the iLO channel interface driver installed on the OS and orchestrates staging, deploying, and activating updates. You can adjust the polling interval by issuing the appropriate command-line option provided by SUT.
Updating firmware from the System Utilities Updating firmware from the System Utilities About this task About this task Use the Firmware Updates option to update firmware components in the system, including the system BIOS, NICs, and storage cards. Procedure Procedure 1.
Procedure Procedure 1. Access the System ROM Flash Binary component for your server from the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support Center (https://www.hpe.com/support/hpesc https://www.hpe.com/support/hpesc). 2. Copy the binary file to a USB media or iLO virtual media. 3. Attach the media to the server.
Online Flash components Online Flash components This component provides updated system firmware that can be installed directly on supported operating systems. Additionally, when used in conjunction with SUM, this Smart Component allows the user to update firmware on remote servers from a central location. This remote deployment capability eliminates the need for the user to be physically present at the server to perform a firmware update.
