Integrated Smart Update Tools
Integrated Smart Update Tools (iSUT) is a software utility used with iLO 4, iLO 5, iLO Amplifier Pack, HPE
OneView, Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP), and Smart Update Manager (SUM) to stage, install, and activate
firmware and driver updates.
• iSUT: Polls iLO to check for requests from HPE OneView, SUM, 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): Performs iLO Repository-based updates by
downloading the components from iLO Repository when iLO Installation Queue has the components which
can be updated by iSUT.
• 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: SUM, iLO Amplifier Pack, and HPE OneView should not manage the same nodes.
