Firmware Managing firmware To determine recommended updates and download the latest firmware, see the HP Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) website (http://www.hp.com/go/spp/download). SPP is a release set that contains a comprehensive collection of firmware and system software components, all tested together as a single solution stack for HP ProLiant servers, their options, BladeSystem enclosures, and limited HP external storage. SPP has several key features for updating HP ProLiant servers. Using HP SUM as the deployment tool, SPP can be used in an online mode on a Windows or Linux hosted operating system, or in an offline mode where the server is booted to the ISO so that the server can be updated automatically with no user interaction or updated in interactive mode. For more information or to download SPP, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/spp). If you are operating the enclosure in a VMware ESX environment, use an offline utility such as ROMPaq to update and verify the firmware. The ROMPaq utility checks the system and provides a choice (if more than one exists) of available firmware revisions. For more information about the ROMPaq utility, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support). Firmware 12
