Description

Install-OVUpdate manages the lifecycle of an HPE OneView appliance software update. It can upload and immediately apply an update package, stage an update for later installation, install a previously staged update, or list details about a pending staged update. This cmdlet applies to the HPE OneView management appliance software itself — not to the firmware on managed servers or enclosures.
Installing an appliance update requires a full appliance restart. All active user sessions will be disconnected and the appliance will be unavailable for several minutes during the update process. Plan maintenance windows accordingly and warn all connected users before proceeding.

Examples

​
Upload and immediately install an update

Install-OVUpdate -File "C:\updates\OneView_10.10.00_update.bin" -Eula "accept"
Uploads the update package and immediately applies it. The appliance restarts automatically.

​
Stage an update for later installation

Install-OVUpdate -File "C:\updates\OneView_10.10.00_update.bin" -Stage
Uploads the update to the appliance without installing it. The update can be installed later during a maintenance window.

​
View a staged update before installing

Install-OVUpdate -ListPending -DisplayReleaseNotes
Displays information about the staged update including the release notes. No changes are made.

​
Install a previously staged update

Get-OVPendingUpdate
Install-OVUpdate -InstallNow -Eula "accept"
First confirms a staged update exists, then applies it. The appliance restarts during the process.

​
Display release notes for an update file

Install-OVUpdate -File "C:\updates\OneView_10.10.00_update.bin" -Stage -DisplayReleaseNotes
Stages the update and also displays the embedded release notes.

None on success. The appliance restarts as part of the installation process, dropping the active session. After the appliance comes back online, reconnect with Connect-OVMgmt and verify the version with Get-OVVersion.
