HP Service Pack for
ProLiant (SPP)
HP Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) and HP Smart Update Manager (HP SUM)
version 5 provide a new, comprehensive approach to firmware and system
software maintenance. Together they provide better operating stability and
ensure maximum uptime. The SPP will be updated at a predictable cadence,
typically coinciding with new HP server hardware launches. By enabling all
firmware to be updated online and integrating firmware and system software
updates in one operation HP SUM and the SPP offer faster updates of
individual servers and dramatically faster updates of entire BladeSystem
enclosures. Further improving system uptime and stability is the fact that HP
provides 12 months of support on each Service Pack for ProLiant.
The user experience around HP SUM and the SPP has been improved in
several ways, starting with the web download. A single web page provides
access to a single download containing both the latest version of HP SUM
version 5 and the latest SPP. Optional smaller subsets with only specific types
of servers or specific operating systems are offered to save on download
time. The HP SUM application has been re-written to provide a more
straightforward, intuitive user interface that guides the user through the steps
of discovery, analyses and update, providing comprehensive information on
available updates, criticality and interdependencies. This information is also
available in reports. By providing the option of multiple local or shared
repositories which can be easily updated from hp.com, HP SUM provides the
tools to optimize stability and consistency throughout the company. While HP
SUM and the SPP will recommend the combinations of firmware and system
software that HP has found to be the best practice, the application gives
customers the flexibility to set their own specific baseline.
The Service Pack for ProLiant has been rigorously tested with specific
attention for interaction between firmware, drivers and agents both within the
server as well as in interaction with the BladeSystem enclosure components
(Onboard Administrator and Virtual Connect). This testing ensures the
highest quality as well as providing the input for HP SUM to deploy updates
taking into account all interdependencies, when determining the correct
updates and order of update deployment.
