To update firmware for a compute node without a server profile, you need to have HPE Gen10 and
later HPE ProLiant servers or Synergy compute nodes. These systems support firmware updates
directly through HPE OneView without requiring an assigned server profile.
Key Points:
Firmware-Only Updates: Gen10 and newer hardware allow firmware updates using the Integrated
Lights-Out (iLO) Advanced features managed by HPE OneView.
No Server Profile Needed: This feature is particularly useful for hardware that is not yet deployed or
does not have an operating system installed.
