# Firmware and Driver Lifecycle Management

Starting with HPE BMaaS version 1.0.0, HPE Morpheus Enterprise supports firmware and driver updates for HPE ProLiant bare-metal servers using preloaded tasks and workflows. This capability enables administrators to centrally manage server firmware and driver compliance using HPE Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) images, executed directly from the HPE Morpheus appliance.

Firmware and driver updates are performed through **Jobs and Workflows** in HPE Morpheus and can be run in **Dry Run (inventory)** or **Deploy** modes. Updates can target firmware only, drivers only, or both, depending on operational requirements. The update process supports multiple servers per job and provides detailed execution logs for auditing and troubleshooting.

## Prerequisites

Before performing firmware and driver updates, ensure the following:

- HPE BM Plugin version 1.0.0 or later is installed.
- An appropriate HPESPP ISO is available for each server generation (for example, Gen10 and Gen11 require different SPP ISOs).
- The HPE Morpheus appliance has access to the SPP ISO, either through:

  - A locally downloaded ISO file, or
  - A URL accessible without authentication.
- For driver inventory and updates within a deployed operating system:

  - iSUT (Integrated Smart Update Tools) and AMS (Agentless Management Service) must be installed and running on the target servers.
  - ESXi hosts are expected to already have iSUT installed.
