Prerequisites
IMPORTANT: Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you prepare a USB flash drive immediately after installing and after updating the
appliance module firmware so that you always have a USB flash drive that matches the currently installed version of the
appliance module image. For environments with multiple versions, create separate USB drives, one for each version.
Make sure that you have the following:
- Computer running either Linux or Microsoft Windows operating system
- USB flash drive with 4 GB of memory, or greater
- Internet connection
Procedure
-
Identify the version of the
appliance module image.
View the firmware version:
In the
appliance maintenance console using the View option.
In
oneview.mgmt.software, view the Installed firmware version for Member Appliance by using the OS Deployment Servers screen.
Under General, select the link to the deployment server interface.
Select
Deployment Appliances.
The firmware version that is displayed is the version of the image that you will download in step 5 and include on the USB drive.
-
Insert the USB flash drive in the computer USB port.
-
If necessary, delete any unnecessary partitions to ensure adequate disk space.
-
Format the USB flash drive for one FAT32 or W95 FAT32 partition using the following guidelines:
-
Download the firmware image
.zip file and the corresponding
.md5 file from the
Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/downloads/Synergy).
The firmware image that you download must match the version determined in step 1. Make sure that you download the complete image for recovery for the USB. The firmware update for existing images does not contain a complete image.
Use a checksum utility of your choice and the
.md5 file to verify the integrity of the downloaded files.
-
Unzip the compressed image.
-
Copy the contents of the image file to the USB flash drive.
IMPORTANT: Do not rename the files.
-
Optionally, remove the USB flash drive and store it for future use.
