HPE Service Pack for
ProLiant (SPP)
HPE Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) and HPE Smart Update Manager
(HPE SUM) provide a 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 HPE server hardware launches. By enabling
firmware to be updated online and integrating firmware and system
software updates in one operation, HPE SUM and the SPP offer faster
updates of individual servers and dramatically faster updates of the entire
HPE Apollo 6000 System. Further improving system uptime and stability is
the fact that Hewlett Packard Enterprise provides 12 months of support for
each Service Pack for ProLiant release (may vary by region.
The user experience around HPE 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 HPE SUM
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 HPE SUM application provides a 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, HPE SUM provides the tools to
optimize stability and consistency throughout the company. While HPE
SUM and the SPP recommend the combinations of firmware and system
software that Hewlett Packard Enterprise 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 HPE Apollo 6000 System. This
testing ensures the highest quality as well as providing the input for HPE
SUM to deploy updates taking into account all interdependencies, when
determining the correct updates and order of update deployment.
