A customer wants to use iLO Federation to manage firmware deployments with HPE SUM. Which options are included? (Select two.)

Question

Options

• AAutomatically discover iLO Federation groups on the same management network
• BApply updates to all members of iLO Federation group with an iLO standard license
• CiLO federation is leveraging ICsp functionality to update firmware
• DUpdate all applicable firmware on HPE ProLiant servers through the iLO using offline deployment
• EUpdate the iLO firmware and system ROM offline through the iLO Federation group

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  84% (27)
• C
  9% (3)
• E
  3% (1)

Explanation

B and D are correct because HPE SUM's iLO Federation integration allows firmware updates to be pushed to all iLO Federation group members using only an iLO Standard license (no Advanced license required), and it accomplishes this via offline deployment - meaning the server is taken offline to apply all applicable firmware updates through the iLO interface, not just selective components.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is incorrect because HPE SUM requires you to manually point it at iLO Federation groups; it does not auto-discover them via the management network.
• C is incorrect because ICsp (Insight Control server provisioning) is a separate OS-provisioning product - iLO Federation firmware updates use HPE SUM directly, not ICsp.
• E is a tempting near-miss, but it incorrectly limits the scope to only "iLO firmware and system ROM," whereas HPE SUM with iLO Federation updates all applicable firmware (not just those two components), which is what D correctly states.

Memory tip: Think "Broad license, Deep offline update" - B reminds you the Standard license is sufficient (broad access), and D reminds you the method is a full offline firmware sweep through iLO. If an answer limits what gets updated or requires auto-discovery, it's a trap.
