BladeSystem Release Sets for Integrity BL860c i2, BL870c i2, and BL890c i2 servers and for Integrity
BL860c i4, BL870c i4, and BL890c i4 servers are supported firmware combinations of system firmware,
iLO, OA and Virtual Connect. BladeSystem Release sets for Integrity BL860c and BL870c servers are
supported firmware combinations of system firmware and iLO, with supported OA and VC versions to be installed
separately. For the i2 and i4 blades, firmware update is now supported by the HPE firmware installation
tool SUM. Other components, and other Integrity servers, are updated via legacy tools for installation. To
find the appropriate installation tools for all Integrity Servers see HP Integrity and HP 9000 Servers – HP
Firmware Update Options.
Integrity blade firmware packages are not currently included in the Smart Update Firmware DVD ISO. Use
the links below to download firmware, or visit HPE Support and Drivers.

HPE BladeSystem Release Sets for mixed Integrity and ProLiant environments
Maintaining HPE BladeSystem c-Class firmware using Integrity Release Sets
HPE is making it easier to acquire, maintain, and get support for the full range of firmware components.
HPE has established HPE BladeSystem Release Sets that are made available on a regular basis.
Firmware Release Sets are composed of individual HPE BladeSystem firmware components that have
been tested and verified together in an integrated BladeSystem solution environment. BladeSystem
Release Sets are available today for Integrity BL860c i2, BL870c i2, BL890c i2, BL860c i4, BL870c i4 and
BL890c i4 blades. These release sets define a supported combination with these components:
•
•
•
•
Onboard Administrator (OA)
Virtual Connect (VC)
Integrity Server System, Integrity Integrated Lights-Out (iLO), and Integrity IO
HPE BladeSystem interconnect modules
Adopting a standard of regularly scheduled Firmware Release Sets simplifies the firmware support model.
Customers with BladeSystem enclosures containing only Integrity blades can follow a maintenance cycle
set by the Integrity Firmware Release Sets. HPE call center support is offered for the latest Release Set or
one of two previous Release Sets installed. Firmware Release Sets will be easy to identify as they are
based on the date of release. For example, an August 2016 Firmware Release Set would be identified as
2016.08.
Note: All versions in one column (Release Set) are compatible and supported, but not necessarily
bundled together. For instance, OA 4.50 is compatible with Release Set 2015.09 but not bundled as part of
server firmware 2015.09 bundle, which includes OA version 4.40.
Note: SUM bundles are run from networked Windows or Linux client workstations and are used to update
Integrity i2 and i4 BladeSystems running all supported Integrity operating systems including HP-UX. For
example, to update a BL860c i2 server running HP-UX 11i v3 from a Linux networked workstation, choose
the SUM Linux bundle. For more information on SUM, please see the SUM User Guide.
The BladeSystem Release Sets for the BL8x0c i2/i4 and the BL860c/BL870c servers are split into two
tables.

Additional Information
Integrity Server firmware packages are available as downloads from HP Support - they are not included
on the Smart Update Firmware DVD ISO. Each server firmware package includes firmware, firmware
update tools, and release notes that include installation instructions. Where firmware is marked as an
SUM bundle, the download package includes the HPE firmware update tool SUM. Integrity i2 generation
c-class blades support the SUM Online Update mode of firmware updates. Older Integrity blades and
Integrity I/O firmware is maintained through a variety of methods including Integrity iLO, EFI firmware
update tools and OS automated tools. For more information on these tools and how to use them with
Integrity and HP9000 platforms, please see these resources:
