Reboot Requirement: Reboot is not required after installation for updates to take effect and hardware stability to be maintained. Install Instruction: Start replaces Autorun in online and offline modes. Users familiar with using Autorun on the Smart Update Firmware Maintenance DVD will notice that it has been replaced with a new browser-based interface known as Start. Start will walk the user through language selection, End User License Agreement (EULA) viewing, and launching HP SUM. The supported browsers for running Start in online mode are:
Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0
Mozilla Firefox 3.0.10 or later
Mozilla Firefox 3.1
Mozilla Firefox 3.5
Installation instructions There are two methods for using the Service Pack for ProLiant to update your ProLiant servers: - Online mode - Runs on a Windows® or Linux hosted operating system - Offline mode - Server is booted to the ISO
Automatic mode - Firmware components will be updated without interaction
Interactive mode - Follow the onscreen steps to update firmware components
To initiate deployment in Interactive mode:
Locate Start.html which is found in the root of the ISO
Open the html file in a supported browser
Follow the instructions on the screen
Automatic mode will by default run firmware update without any user interaction after sitting 30 seconds at the menu screen when a SPP DVD or USB Key is inserted to the server. Booting the SPP DVD from iLO virtual media is only supported in Automatic Firmware Update mode. Users attempting this in any other mode may experience hangs from connection timeouts, difficulties updating iLO firmware, and mouse syncing issues. Note: If you install a software from the SPP and then install a Microsoft Windows® operating system Service Pack or other operating system updates, HP recommends reinstalling the software from the SPP.

In order to create a DVD from this ISO image, you must use a software utility capable of writing an ISO file to a recordable media such as DVD-R. Note: Simply copying the ISO file to a DVD-R will NOT result in a usable DVD. HP recommends you run MD5 Checksum on the Zip file and/or ISO image prior to burning the DVD. HP also recommends that you turn the verify feature 'ON'. DVD labeling For reference purposes, please label your resulting DVD as follows: HP Service Pack for ProLiant DVD Release 'version' Copying the ISO Image file to the HP USB Key Utility For Windows The HP USB Key Utility is a Windows application that will allow the user to copy the SPP DVD contents to a USB memory key. Users may then run the Service Pack for ProLiant applications from a USB key instead of from the DVD. To download the HP USB Key Utility for windows, go to: www.hp.com/go/foundation.
