UpdateXpress System Pack Installer (UXSPI)
The IBM UpdateXpress is a tool that allows the IBM System x firmware and drivers to be
updated via the OS.
The UpdateXpress System Pack Installer (UXSPI) gives you the ability to update the firmware
and device drivers of the system under an operating system. You can deploy UpdateXpress
System Packs (UXSPs) and the latest individual updates.
UXSPI uses the standard HTTP (port 80) and HTTPS (port 443) to get the updates from IBM.
Your firewall must allow these ports. UXSPI is supported on Windows, Linux, and VMware
operating systems. UXSPI is supported on both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems.
The IBM UpdateXpress System Pack Installer User’s Guide provides a detailed list of
supported operating systems at the following website:
