-HPE Gen12 servers introduce enhanced security by supporting only High Security modes (SecureStandard, CNSA, FIPS). This impacts how you configure **iSUT** (Intelligent System Update Tool) and **AMS** (Agentless Management Service) for **vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM)** based firmware updates. Unlike previous generations, configuration through the **HPE OneView for VMware vCenter** (OV4VC) and **HPE Compute Ops Management plug-in for VMware vCenter** (COM4VC) vLCM Pre-Check page is not available in these modes, as iLO credentials are now required. Instead, you must manually configure AMS and iSUT by creating an application account and providing valid HPE iLO credentials.

+In this blog post, I’ll show you how to configure iSUT and AMS to enable vLCM-based firmware updates on HPE Gen12 servers.
