Deploying an iLO

From the iLO screen, highlight the iLO you want to deploy.
Click Actions → Review/Deploy.
The iLO Deploy procedure is the same as the Node Deploy procedure.

To deploy a node

From the Nodes screen, select a node to update, and then click Actions → Review/Deploy.
If you want to change installation options, click Installation Options and then select from the following:
- Downgrade: This allows you to downgrade all of the components in the node to an older firmware version without clicking Force for each component in the baseline library list.
- Rewrite: This allows you to rewrite the current firmware version to components in the node without clicking Force for each component in the baseline library list.
If you want to downgrade or rewrite options to firmware or software only, click Force options can be applied to, and then select from the following:
- Firmware: This displays only firmware updates.
- Software: This displays only software updates.
In the Associated Node Details field, select any nodes that you want to update.

In the Baseline Library field, select each component that you want to update. Use the Search box to type in search terms for the components. For more information about an update, click the version number. If you are deploying a Linux node, HP SUM displays only RPM updates that are valid for your node.


	NOTE: You can click Force to downgrade or rewrite a component that is available for downgrade or rewrite. If you select Downgrade, Rewrite, or both in the Installation Options, HP SUM does not display the Force button.

If you want to change when the node reboots after an update, click Reboot Options and do the following:
1. In Reboot System After Installation, select No, If Needed, or Always.
2. In Reboot Delay (seconds), enter the number of seconds you want the node to wait before beginning the reboot.
3. In the text box, enter a reboot message of up to 255 characters to display before the node reboots.
NOTE: If HP SUM cannot successfully deploy all updates in a node, it does not reboot the node. View the deployment logs to find and resolve the issue before you reboot the node.
Click Analyze, and then click Deploy to begin the deployment.

NOTE: To begin the deployment, all dependency issues must be resolved, for example, adding a baseline, administrator credentials, and supported installed versions.
Click View log for the node, in the General section of the Node screen, and then click View log for the component you installed, to view the details of the installation.
