Smart Update Manager

SUM is a tool for firmware, driver, and software maintenance on ProLiant servers, BladeSystem enclosures, Moonshot systems, and other nodes. It provides a browser-based GUI or a command-line scripting interface for flexibility and adaptability.

SUM identifies associated nodes you can update at the same time to avoid interdependency issues.

Key features of SUM include:

  • Discovery engine that finds installed versions of hardware, firmware, and software on nodes.

  • SUM deploys updates in the correct order and ensures that all dependencies are met before deploying an update.

  • Interdependency checking.

  • Automatic and step-by-step Localhost Guided Update process.

  • Web browser-based mode.

  • Ability to create custom baselines and ISOs.

  • Support for iLO Repository (Gen10 iLO 5 nodes only).

  • Simultaneous firmware and software deployment for multiple remote nodes.

  • Local offline firmware deployments with SPP deliverables.

  • Extensive logging in all modes.

NOTE:

SUM does not support third-party controllers, including flashing hard drives behind the controllers.
