recently got an old server. HP DL380 G6 after installing esxi6.0 , found that the local hard disk will often fall off from time to time, and then have to restart the server, found the relevant information is due to the onboard p410i firmware version is too old to cause, And then prepare to update the firmware. Found several articles about using hpsum to update the firmware in the ESXi host, try this method because it works well for batch servers to update firmware

If the installation is successful, the firmware version will be updated, unfortunately the update failed, for unknown reasons, the firmware is still the old version.
because there is only one server, so decided to use winscp upload + putty command line to update the firmware, you need to ensure that ESXi Port is open.
