Q&A

How do I install or use this software?

I suggest read the existing FAQ on HPE web page related to SPP installation. However, he it is a summary:

Installation:

There are two methods for using the Service Pack for ProLiant to update your ProLiant servers: Online mode and Offline mode:

  • Online mode - Runs on a Windows or Linux hosted operating system.
    • Interactive mode - Follow the onscreen steps to update firmware components. To initiate deployment in interactive mode, run the launch_sum.bat (windows) or launch_sum.sh (Linux) script which is found in the root of the .ISO image.

  • Offline mode - Server is booted to the .ISO image.
    • Automatic mode - Firmware components will be updated without interaction. Automatic mode will by default run firmware update without any user interaction after sitting 10 seconds at the menu screen when an SPP .ISO image is used to boot the server.
    • Interactive mode - Follow the onscreen steps to update firmware components.
Which SPP should I use for my server?
Server GenerationClassification SPP to Use
Gen10 and Gen9 Production Latest Version
Gen8 Post-Production Gen8 Post-Production
G7 Post-Production G7 Post-Production
G6 and Older Post-Production Use the last SPP that contained the drivers and firmware for your server model(s).
I need another SPP besides this server generation, do you have more?

Yes, please contact me through eBay messages in order to send you the proper listing for your SPP needs.

What is the file size and content of the SPP?

The file it's pretty big, around 6gb, so please be patient when downloading it. It contains all the necessary component packages, firmwares, software, and updates/upgrades in a single ISO image.

How do I use the ISO file?

I recommend to attach the ISO file to the Virtual Media on the Remote Console via iLO Web Interface and boot from it (iLO Advanced License required). Optionally, you can also create a bootable USB, plug it in into your server and boot from there.

Does this software have HPE support?

No, if you want it or need it (very rare, indeed), you will want to purchase a license agreement directly from HPE.

I also need an iLO Advanced License, do you have any?

Yes, please let me know for which server you need the license.

I need another kind of product, different from the ones you currently have listed, can you help me?

Sure, please contact me through eBay messages and let me know what you need, I'll do my best.

I need the System Rom (BIOS) and/or iLO firmware updates for my server, do you have them?

Most probably yes, please contact me through eBay messages and let me know your server model to get a quote.

Why should I acquire products from you? others are selling them cheaper.

A lot of them are selling trial/fake products or locked down features, chances are that eventually those will be banned by HPE servers. Also, just take a look at the poor quality of their listing, that says it all. By getting them from me you can rest assured that your products will be fully unlocked and safe to install. Plus, you will be backed up by someone reliable and professional, I always aim to provide an exceptional customer service, especially if any problem arises.

Can you send me an invoice of my purchase?

Yes, if you need it please leave a comment at checkout. I will be sending an eBay invoice in PDF format directly to your email.
