BladeSystem Release Sets for Integrity BL860c i2, BL870c i2, and BL890c i2 servers and for Integrity

BL860c i4, BL870c i4, and BL890c i4 servers are supported firmware combinations of system firmware,
iLO, OA and Virtual Connect. BladeSystem Release sets for Integrity BL860c and BL870c servers are
supported firmware combinations of system firmware and iLO, with supported OA and VC versions to be installed
separately. For the i2 and i4 blades, firmware update is now supported by the HP firmware installation
tool HP SUM. Other components, and other Integrity servers, are updated via legacy tools for installation.
To find the appropriate installation tools for all Integrity Servers see HP Integrity and HP 9000 Servers
HP Firmware Update Options.
Integrity blade firmware packages are not currently included in the Smart Update Firmware DVD ISO. Use
the links below to download firmware, or visit HP Support and Drivers.

Maintaining HP BladeSystem c-Class firmware using Integrity Release Sets

HP is making it easier to acquire, maintain, and get support for the full range of firmware components. HP
has established HP BladeSystem Release Sets that are made available on a regular basis. Firmware
Release Sets are composed of individual HP BladeSystem firmware components that have been tested
and verified together in an integrated BladeSystem solution environment. BladeSystem Release Sets are
available today for Integrity BL860c i2, BL870c i2, BL890c i2, BL860c i4, BL870c i4 and BL890c i4 blades.
These release sets define a supported combination with these components:

Onboard Administrator (OA)

Virtual Connect (VC)
Integrity Server System, Integrity Integrated Lights-Out (iLO), and Integrity IO
HP BladeSystem interconnect modules

Adopting a standard of regularly scheduled Firmware Release Sets simplifies the firmware support model.
Customers with BladeSystem enclosures containing only Integrity blades can follow a maintenance cycle
set by the Integrity Firmware Release Sets. HP call center support is offered for the latest Release Set or
one of two previous Release Sets installed. Firmware Release Sets will be easy to identify as they are
based on the date of release. For example, an August 2013 Firmware Release Set would be identified as
2013.08.
Note: The table below lists the current release sets and their valid point releases. When a release set
contains more than one valid interim point releases, a "customized" solution can be created using any of
the point releases contained within a single release set.

Note: HP SUM bundles are run from networked Windows or Linux client workstations and are used to
update Integrity i2 and i4 BladeSystems running all supported Integrity operating systems including HPUX. For example, to update a BL860c i2 server running HP-UX 11i v3 from a Linux networked
workstation, choose the HP SUM Linux bundle. For more information on HP SUM, please see the HP
SUM User Guide.
The BladeSystem Release Sets for the BL8x0c i2/i4 and the BL860c/BL870c servers are split into two
tables.

Additional Information
Integrity Server firmware packages are available as downloads from HP Support - they are not included
on the HP Smart Update Firmware DVD ISO. Each server firmware package includes firmware, firmware
update tools, and release notes that include installation instructions. Where firmware is marked as an HP
SUM bundle, the download package includes the HP firmware update tool HP SUM. Integrity i2
generation c-class blades support the HP SUM Online Update mode of firmware updates. Older Integrity
blades and Integrity I/O firmware is maintained through a variety of methods including Integrity iLO, EFI
firmware update tools and OS automated tools. For more information on these tools and how to use them
with Integrity and HP9000 platforms, please see these resources:
