Deploying firmware for ProLiant servers using the Service Pack for ProLiant
SPP is a re-packaging of HP ProLiant system software and firmware for ProLiant ML/DL/SL servers
and their options, and BladeSystem enclosures including OA,VC, and 3 GB SAS switches running
supported Windows, Linux, and VMware operating systems. The single SPP image contains a
comprehensive collection of firmware and system software components including drivers, agents,
non-agents, utilities, and firmware that is tested, managed, and deployed together as a single
solution.
NOTE: HP SUM can detect updates that are available for a VMware server and generate reports,
it cannot deploy updates.
SPP includes HP SUM for deployment of the SPP components.
For a complete list of HP ProLiant systems and software supported by SPP, see the HP Service Pack
for ProLiant Release Notes on the HP SPP website at http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation.
