Firmware Pack for ProLiant (Gen9 and earlier)

For Gen10 and later, please see the production Firmware Pack for ProLiant

The HPE Firmware Pack for ProLiant (FWPP) provides rpm-packaged firmware for various ProLiant system boards, host adapters, nics and other complex logic devices. Installing an rpm stages the firmware payload and flasher utility on your Linux filesystem. The flasher may then be run manually, or via a system configuration manager like HPE SUM. Once the rpm is installed (rpm -Uvh packagename.rpm), you'll find the firmware and flash utility in     /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/hp-firmware-type-vendor-version/ Simply run "./setup" in this directory to flash the component on the target host. You can access the FWPP repository with your web browser (or dnf/yum, or zypper) using the following https URL syntax:     https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/fwpp-gen9 Similarly for rsync:     rsync -avH rsync.linux.hpe.com::FIRMWARE/repo/fwpp-gen9 For a technical overview and FAQ about the transition from scexe to rpm, please see this customer announcement.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Cut-n-paste the following section (substituting ditribution, architecture and project version) into /etc/yum.repos.d/fwpp.repo on your RedHat system:

Please replace repo_generation, dist_ver, arch, and project_ver with the values appropriate for your environment.

Where:

   repo_generation         fwpp-gen9, fwpp-gen8    (what's my gen?)
   dist_ver                6, 7, 8
   arch                    x86_64  
   project_ver (Gen9)      current, next, gen9.1, 2022.03.0, 2021.05.0, 2020.09.0, 2020.03.0, 2019.12.0, 2019.09.0
   project_ver (Gen8)      current, gen8.1_hotfix9, gen8.1_hotfix2, gen8.0_postprod, ...
        

      current is an accumuilation of all firmwrae from every Service Pack for ProLiant
      next is firmware scheduled to go into the next Service Pack for ProLiant

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server

      current is an accumuilation of all firmwrae from every Service Pack for ProLiant
      next is firmware scheduled to go into the next Service Pack for ProLiant

Installing fwpp packages

List hp-firmware packages

# yum search firmware

Install a specific package

# yum install packagename

NOTE: this simply stages the flash utility and firmware payload on your filesystem at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/hp-firmware-type-vendor-version/ . Run "./setup" in this directory to physically flash the firmware. HPE SUM firmware RPM commands may also be used to manage and flash the staged firmware onto the local system. HPE SUM GUI, CLI, InputFile and interactive CLI modes require the full RPM files instead of installed RPMs. See the HPE Smart Update Manager User Guide's chapter on Deploying Firmware RPMs at http://www.hpe.com/info/hpsum/documentation for more information.
