3 Release Notes Integrated Smart Update Tools Smart Update Tools is a software utility used with ilo 4, ilo 5, HPE OneView, ilo Amplifier Pack, Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP), and Smart Update Manager (SUM) to stage, install, and activate firmware and driver updates. NOTE: HPE OneView or ilo Amplifier Pack manage the ilo while isut runs on each server and deploys the updates. The same administrator might not manage both applications. Create a process that notifies the administrators when updates are available. Smart Update Tools: Polls ilo to check for requests from HPE OneView or ilo Amplifier Pack for updates through the management network and orchestrates staging, deploying, and activating updates. You can adjust the polling interval by issuing the appropriate command-line option provided by isut. Performs inventory on target servers, stages deployment, deploys updates, and then reboots the servers. ilo 5 with integrated Smart Update (Gen10 servers only): Loads Install Sets to the ilo Repository on ilo 5 nodes. isut deploys OS-based updates from the ilo Repository. ilo Amplifier Pack: Displays available updates for servers. Communicates with isut (or SUT 1.x) to initiate updates using the ilo Redfish interface. isut reports the status of updates to ilo Amplifier Pack via ilo Restful Interface. HPE OneView: Displays available updates for servers. Communicates with isut (or SUT 1.x) to initiate updates, reports the status on the Firmware section of the Server Profile page of HPE OneView. HPE OneView provides automated compliance reporting in the dashboard. SPP: A comprehensive systems software and firmware update solution, which is delivered as a single ISO image. SUM: A tool for firmware and driver maintenance for HPE ProLiant servers and associated options. NOTE: Do not manage one node with ilo Amplifier Pack and HPE OneView at the same time. Version details Product version is Supersede information SUT for Windows and Linux 2.0.x.0 Update recommendation Recommended - Includes new enhancements, features, and/or minor bug fixes.

4 Operating systems Linux 64-bit Windows 64-bit Languages English Enhancements Support for deploying SPP when ilo 5 is configured in High Security or CNSA modes. Performance improvements to reduce the installation time of the isut component. Supports re-attempts for copying files to minimize file copy errors. Fixes Changes to the EnableiLOQueuedUpdates parameter by the user, HPE OneView, or ilo Amplifier Pack are saved correctly. A non-interactive isut update performs as expected and no longer fails with the error: "Stage Failed: FileCopyError" The component configuration for isut is now honored during self-update. isut self-update now works with older versions of HPE ilo Amplifier Pack. Issues and solutions isut service exits if ilo is configured in High Security mode without providing the credentials to SUT Symptom If you change the ilo configuration to High Security mode and then provide ilo credentials to SUT using the command sut -set ilousername=username ilopassword=password, the isut service exits. Action 1. Set the ilo credentials using the command sut set ilousername=<ilousername> ilopassword=<ilopassword> 2. Configure ilo in High Security mode. 3. Start the isut service. 4 Operating systems
