This is truly a ridiculous process. The '1, 2, 3 automatic update' simply doesn't work without a bunch of undocumented clicking trying to figure out how the heck to add a baseline - even the latest version of the support pack 20140421.

About This Playbook

#########################

Do not use This playbook. It used to automate firmware updation process for HP servers by using HP Smart Update Manager (SUM) utility and software repositories using HPSPP ( HP Service Pack for Proliant )

##################

Prerequisite

##################

• This playbook shoud be run from a system that can act as 'admin' node to HP machines whose FW needs to be upgraded
• You need to run these playbooks as ROOT user.
• You would require ROOT passwords of HP machies for which you are going to upgrade FW

###########

Usage

###########

Step 1 : Download HP Service Pack for Proliant ISO file from the below URLhttp://h17007.www1.hp.com/us/en/enterprise/servers/products/service_pack/spp/index.aspxTo download this you would require valid HP Passport account that have rights to download software support services from HP

Step 2 : Once you have downloaded HPSPP ISO, place it under automated_HP_Firmware_upgradation repository with file name as 'hpsum.iso'

Step 3 : Update inventory_file with all the host names that need to be upgraded.

Step 4 : Execute setup.yml playbook to begin F/W upgradation.

Step 5 : If you have not added your host to group '[host_to_reboot]', then you need to manuall reboot your hosts inorder to get new F/W into effect.

Step 6 (optional) : You you wish to generate system reports

########################

Miscellaneous Info

########################

• All the activity logs will get stored at /var/log/hp

• While ansible playbook is running you can monitor 'admin' and 'HP node' logs using the below command.These logs will tell you what is going on in background.
