HPE Virtual Connect Solutions v4 — Question 115

A customer needs to update a server's firmware using the latest Support Pack for ProLiant (SPP). They use a bootable USB flash drive to do so, and they select
Interactive Mode on boot. Once the device boots, they are unsure how to proceed and ask for your assistance.
What can you tell them to do to easily update the firmware?

Answer options

• A. Download a new version of Smart Update Manager.
• B. From Interactive mode, select the ג€Force Firmwareג€ option.
• C. Reboot the server with the flash drive and leave in default mode.
• D. Run interactive mode from the Operating System instead.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because rebooting the server with the flash drive in default mode allows the firmware update process to proceed without additional configurations. Option A is incorrect as a new version of Smart Update Manager is not needed for this task. Option B suggests using a 'Force Firmware' option that could potentially lead to unintended consequences, and Option D is not suitable since the firmware update should be conducted directly through the bootable USB in Interactive Mode.
