Hi,
I've got an issue on a DL380 G7, where HP support are requesting that I upgrade the SAS Backplane Firmware from 1.14 to 1.18.
Unfortunately the server in question is on a closed network, and remote site, which means that booting up off the 3GB Firmware ISO via ILO virtual media, is pretty much impossible...
I've tried creating cut down versions of the Firmware DVD, and custom HP SUM ISOs which just have the required firmware however, they're still coming in at around 500MB which makes booting over a WAN link pretty hard.
The actual firmware update itself (CP019633.scexe) is only 170KB. Is there anyway that this can be applied without using HP SUM - like a good old fashioned DOS Boot floppy or similar ?
Cheers,
Rob
