Synopsis

Uploads an HPE Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) ISO file or individual hotfix package to the appliance firmware repository.

​
Syntax

Add-OVBaseline
    -File <Object>
    [-CompSigFile <Object>]
    [-Scope <HPEOneView.Appliance.ScopeCollection>]
    [-UseInvokeWebRequest]
    [-Async]
    [-ApplianceConnection <Object>]
    [<CommonParameters>]

​
Description

Add-OVBaseline uploads a firmware baseline file to the appliance’s internal firmware repository. The file can be a full HPE Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) ISO, or an individual hotfix package (.exe, .scexe, .rpm, .zip, or .fwpkg). The cmdlet checks whether an identical baseline already exists on the appliance before starting the upload to avoid duplicates. Large SPP ISO files can take considerable time to transfer; use the -Async switch to return the task object immediately and monitor progress separately with Wait-OVTaskComplete or Get-OVTask. An optional companion signature file (-CompSigFile) can be uploaded alongside the baseline to enable signature verification. When multiple appliances are connected, use -ApplianceConnection to target a specific appliance.

​
Parameters

​
File
Object
required
Path to the SPP ISO or hotfix package file to upload. Accepts a String path or a System.IO.FileInfo object. The file must exist and have a non-zero size.Aliases: sppFile
​
CompSigFile
Object
Path to the companion digital signature file for the baseline. Provide this when your security policy requires signature verification of uploaded firmware bundles.
​
Scope
HPEOneView.Appliance.ScopeCollection
One or more scope objects (from Get-OVScope) to assign to the baseline at upload time. When omitted, the baseline is added without an explicit scope assignment.
​
UseInvokeWebRequest
SwitchParameter
Use PowerShell’s Invoke-WebRequest for the file transfer instead of the built-in upload mechanism. Progress display is suppressed when this switch is used. Useful in environments where the default upload method experiences connectivity issues.
​
Async
SwitchParameter
Return the background task object immediately without waiting for the upload to complete. Use Wait-OVTaskComplete to block until the task finishes.
​
ApplianceConnection
Object
Specify one or more appliance connection objects or hostnames. Defaults to all connected appliances ($Global:ConnectedSessions).Aliases: Appliance

​
Examples

​
Upload a baseline and wait for completion

Add-OVBaseline -File "C:\firmware\SPP2023.11.01.iso"
Uploads the SPP ISO and blocks until the upload task completes.

​
Upload asynchronously and monitor the task

$task = Add-OVBaseline -File "C:\firmware\SPP2023.11.01.iso" -Async
$task | Wait-OVTaskComplete
Returns the task immediately, then waits for the upload to finish before continuing.

​
Upload a hotfix package

Add-OVBaseline -File "C:\firmware\cp049375.exe"
Uploads an individual firmware component hotfix to the repository.

​
Upload with a scope assignment

$scope = Get-OVScope -Name "ProductionScope"
Add-OVBaseline -File "C:\firmware\SPP2023.11.01.iso" -Scope $scope -Async | Wait-OVTaskComplete
Uploads the baseline and assigns it to the ProductionScope scope, then waits for the upload to complete.

​
Upload to a specific appliance

$task = Add-OVBaseline -File "C:\firmware\SPP2023.11.01.iso" -ApplianceConnection hpov.example.com -Async
$task | Wait-OVTaskComplete
Targets a specific appliance when multiple connections are active.

​
Output

HPEOneView.Appliance.TaskResource When -Async is specified, the cmdlet returns a task resource object. When -Async is omitted, the cmdlet blocks and returns after the task completes. After the task completes, retrieve the uploaded baseline with: 
Get-OVBaseline -SppName "HPE Service Pack for ProLiant"
