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 same nodes with ilo Amplifier Pack and HPE OneView at the same time. Version details Product version is Supersede information isut for Windows and Linux Update recommendation Recommended - Includes new enhancements, features, and/or minor bug fixes. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends all customers to update at their earliest convenience. Release Notes 3

4 Operating systems Linux 64-bit Windows 64-bit Languages English Enhancements Troubleshooting firmware update failures during an offline update or bare metal updates. Installer time reduction. Improved AHS logging. Improved scale of parallel firmware update in HPE OneView. Improved error details on firmware update failure. Change in the boot environment. Standardization of isut application return codes. Use of only FIPS 1402-approved crypto. Fixes While performing online update, the staging time is reduced because isut now copies only the required components instead of all the Windows/Linux components isut logs now include information on the operating system version and ilo firmware version. isut now supports ilo Repository-based updates in offline mode. isut checksums Table 1: isut for Windows Filename cp compsig cp exe raiden.log SHA-256 Checksum eed91749b690c8e2c696b570f e312cb412da2e8a36ca9f6b97ed93f8 8b d908b5d82f2993cc072f5c367c01e613de8f85d1f b 7de5d be800c46dcb14654a1037ea518968d124ef34f15284a106c Operating systems

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. Staging directory is locked after isut upgrade Symptom After upgrading isut, the staging directory is locked. Action Issue the command chattr -R -i /opt/hp/hpsut/stagingdirectory. isut to self-upgrade fails when ilo is configured in High Security mode Symptom When you perform a self-upgrade from isut to and ilo is configured in High Security mode, the upgrade fails. Cause When you upgrade isut from to and ilo is configured in High Security mode, HPE ilo credentials are not migrated. As a result, the upgrade fails. Issues and solutions 5
