# About unsupported firmware

When you add a resource to bring it under management, the resource firmware must be updated to the minimum supported level. The appliance attempts to automatically update the firmware while the resource is being added to the appliance. If the update fails, an alert is generated.

| NOTE: You must upload a supported SPP to the appliance firmware repository before you can update device firmware. See http://www.hpe.com/info/hpeoneview/updates to obtain HPE OneView software updates and product-specific firmware bundles.

### Unsupported firmware for firmware bundles

If you attempt to add a firmware bundle that contains firmware below the minimum versions supported, an alert is generated and the firmware bundle is not added to the appliance firmware repository.

### Unsupported firmware for enclosures

When adding an enclosure, the appliance:

- Generates an alert if the logical interconnect firmware for the interconnects is below the required minimum level or if the interconnect firmware levels do not match. You must update the logical interconnect firmware from the Logical Interconnects screen or REST APIs.

- Updates the OA firmware automatically, if below the required minimum (Must have a supported SPP installed on the appliance)

- Updates the iLO firmware automatically, if below the required minimum (Must have a supported SPP installed on the appliance)

### Unsupported firmware for logical enclosures

When adding a logical enclosure, the appliance:

- Generates an alert if the actual firmware versions for one or more components do not match the required minimum. Even if you do not specify a baseline SPP and iLO firmware will be updated automatically, if below the required minimum (Must have a supported SPP installed on the appliance). Select the firmware baseline from the Logical Enclosures screen or REST APIs.

### Unsupported firmware for server profiles

You are prevented from applying server profiles if the associated iLO firmware is below the minimum supported version, and instead, are directed to the Server Hardware screen to update iLO firmware.

### Unsupported firmware for interconnects

If you attempt to add an interconnect with firmware that is below the minimum supported version, an alert is generated. You must update the logical interconnect firmware from the Logical Interconnects screen or REST APIs.

The Firmware panel of the Logical Interconnects screen displays the installed version of firmware and the firmware baseline for each interconnect.
