We have a DL380 G6 and we want to put the latest BIOS firmware on a bootable CD-ROM.
The bootable USB installer that HP provides works great, but we want a bootable CD-ROM instead, because we have many servers and a CD is easier to duplicate.
The BIOS firmware we want to install is not available on the latest HP Firmware Maintenance CD.
I've been trying for a couple of hours now and wasted 6 CDs to no avail. Can anyone suggest a workable solution?
Many thanks!

To create a bootable CD-ROM you need to prepare the disc. You will need to add Bootfiles to the disc. Here is a simple description of how to do this. You will even find a link there to download the correct bootimage. I did this 3-4 times yet and always used this short howto and the bootimage linked there. Your CD-ROM will appear as drive "A:" after booting. There also is a way to do this with some other images, which provide CD-ROM support, but I never did that, so I can´t tell you how good this works.
