Restarting Onboard Administrator in 5 seconds.Īs you can see the system first upgrades and reboots the standby OA then it proceeds to flash the active OA. Preparing to flash redundant Onboard Administrator.

Here we will run the full command using a HTTP target. See the SHOW FIRMWARE MANAGEMENT command.
#HP M476DN FIRMWARE UPGRADE ISO#
Enclosure Firmware Management must be configured with a valid ISO URL. "Update Image FW_ISO" will update the OA firmware using an image on a firmware CD.
"Update Image sync" will initate a Firmware Sync of the Active and Standby OA. FORCE can only be associated with the parameter and FW_ISO parameters. Use FORCE to allow downgrading firmware even if settings/passwords may be lost.
#HP M476DN FIRMWARE UPGRADE PASSWORD#
If your FTP server does not support anonymous logins, a username and password can be specified within the URL formatted as: ftp://username: /path/filename. The URL syntax for IPv6 addresses is protocol:///path/file. The URL should be formatted as: protocol://host/path/filename. Supported protocols are http, ftp, and tftp. If a redundant OA is present in the system, this command will flash and validate its firmware before attempting to flash the active OA. "Image" downloads a new flash image from the network and uses it to update the Onboard Administrator's firmware. UPDATE IMAGE : Operator or Administrator account privileges are required. This solution is actually a legacy thing and when I get a moment will be replaced with something else. I have a server with Microsoft IIS running which is then used to host update files and ISO images which can be mounted to the blade chassis. As we are using SSH we need to specify a location to pull the new firmware file. Specify an OA info command – show oa info BSA-SPC7K2-OA1> show oa info 2Īt this point we know what version we are running so now it’s time to upload and upgrade to the latest firmware. If we want to see the details for the second OA we can either request the system show us information for all OAs or we can specify using the commands below. The sharp eyed among you may have noticed the information only lists a single OA while I stated we have two. We can see that currently the OA is running version 4.40.

When we connect to the chassis OA via SSH the system presents us with some basic information including the current firmware version. This means you use a single IP address to access the chassis regardless of which OA is currently active (they work in an active/standby mode). I’m going to make the assumption the blade chassis are configured with ‘Enclosure IP mode’. All methods are simple enough with the most important task being to check the notes for the firmware file to see what it is fixing and what potential known issues exist which might preclude you from deploying.
The OA firmware can be updated in a number of ways and today I’ll cover some of them. Each blade chassis has a pair of OA’s to ensure redundancy in a failure event or during upgrades. I run multiple HP C7000 blade chassis within my datacentres and keeping the ‘Onboard Administrator’ (OA) firmware up to date is an important task.
