Download the Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) —SPP is a comprehensive system software and firmware update solution that is
delivered as a single ISO image. This solution uses Smart Update Manager (SUM) as the deployment tool.
The preferred method for downloading an SPP is by creating an SPP custom download at
https://www.hpe.com/servers/spp/customhttps://www.hpe.com/servers/spp/custom.
This option reduces the size of the SPP by excluding firmware and drivers for OS and server models that are not needed.
The SPP is also available for download from the SPP download page at https://www.hpe.com/servers/spp/downloadhttps://www.hpe.com/servers/spp/download.
Verify that your OS or virtualization software is supported:

The embedded Intel Virtual RAID on CPU (Intel VROC) provides enterprise-level hybrid RAID support. Note the following information:
Intel VROC provides RAID support for direct attached SATA and NVMe SSDs, including M.2 SSDs.
The VROC RAID volume must use drives of the same form factor.
Intel VROC requires the server boot mode to be set to UEFI Mode.
In the pre-OS environment, use UEFI System Utilities to enable Intel VROC and create a VROC RAID volume. This task is not
supported in Intelligent Provisioning.
Intel VROC supports RAID management though the following tools:
Non-OS specific: UEFI System Utilities
Windows: Intel VROC GUI, Intel VROC CLI
Linux: mdadm CLI
For more information on Intel VROC features and configuration, see the Intel VROC for HPE Gen11 User Guide:
