The Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) is a comprehensive systems software and firmware update solution, which is delivered as a single ISO image. This solution uses Smart Update Manager (SUM) as the deployment tool and is tested on all HPE ProLiant Gen9 and Gen10 servers as defined in the Service Pack for ProLiant Server Support Guide found at www.hpe.com/servers/spp/documentation.
Important Notes:
HPE ProLiant Gen10 Smart Array Controller smartpqi driver and HPE ProLiant Gen9 Smart Array Controller nhpsa driver and associated firmware included in SPP2019.03.1 are not certified for production vSAN use.
The 2019.03.1 SPP replaces 2019.03.0 and contains updated System ROM firmware to address an issue where the system may experience a higher rate of Uncorrectable Memory errors or boot time Memory training issues with Intel Xeon Scalable Performance Bronze and Silver processors. This issue was first introduced with System ROM version 2.00. HPE recommends that any customer experiencing a memory issue immediately update to this version of the system ROM before replacing any components. This issue is not unique to HPE servers.
HPE Synergy Customers - Before installing this SPP on Synergy, please review the information at www.hpe.com/downloads/synergy.

| Gen8 | Post-Production | Gen8 Post-Production |
| G7 | Post-Production | G7 Post-Production |

|---|---|
| Gen8 | Ends when HPE no longer supports the Gen8 server models |
| G7 | End when HPE no longer supports the G7 server models |
Yes, Gen8 and G7 component updates will be released as “Hot Fixes” (against the Gen8 and G7 Post-Production SPPs) to address security vulnerabilities and fix issues (on an as needed basis).
| Post-Production SPP | Where will future Hot Fixes be listed? |
|---|---|
| Gen8 | Gen8 page - 'Hot Fixes & Advisories' tab |
| G7 | G7 page - 'Hot Fixes & Advisories' tab |
Yes, by downloading the “Full SPP” from the SPP Custom Download.
The preferred mechanism for downloading production and Post-Production SPPs is the SPP Custom Download. The Post-Production SPPs are also available for download from the SPP Download Page and HPE Support Center.
SPP Custom Download
When booting the SPP for offline installs, only Linux firmware will be installed. The recommended filter settings for creating a bootable ISO for offline use are
- Component Types - Firmware
- Operating Systems - All versions of RHEL and SLES
No. Prior to using SPP Custom Download, please check component information to ensure dependencies are met BEFORE customizing the download. Please note, SUM does dependency checking during the installation phase. If dependencies are not met, SUM will notify that there are missing dependencies at installation time.
- Click on SPP Custom Download link
- Select the appropriate SPP
- Hover over the pre-built or Base SPP tile
- Click on the Download icon at the bottom right to start download
- If the browsers offers to save or open, select save
- Click on SPP Custom Download link
- Select the appropriate SPP
- Click on the 'Create a new bundle' tile (plus sign tile)
- Complete the 'Configure Your Bundle' step with the applicable information of your choice and press 'Next: Select Filters' button
- Select filters as needed (no selection in any given category means everything in that category will be included)
- Click the 'Build' button
- Preview selected components and click 'Submit Build' button
- Upon submission the build request is queued and will be processed as soon as possible
- Build completion is indicated on the new tile or through email notification, if selected
SPP Custom Download presents a list of the most common keywords listed by the components in the system.
- Choosing not to filter the results based on a category means that no restrictions are made for that category (e.g. no choices in the “Operating Systems” category means that all OSes will be included
- In some cases, components fail to specify keywords in a section and then only match if the section is unfiltered.
- In a section “no selection” MEANS “no filter”
Yes. For best offline results, select all Linux operating systems.
Linux was not included in the created download. The offline environment is Linux based and therefore requires Linux components.
There is nothing to download. SPP Custom Download is an online service for filtering and downloading the SPP.
SPP Custom Download can produce .zip and .iso formatted files.
SPP Custom Download offers the option to include a boot environment or to make a smaller package by excluding the boot environment.
Yes. SPP Custom Download generated deliverables are generated with the SUM custom baseline engine.
No. SPP Custom Download offers a way for the user to filter the SPP before downloading. SPP Custom Download also is restricted to only offer combinations based on a single SPP and its supplements in order to retain the 'tested together' results.
Filter options shows the combination of filters appropriate for the set of SPPs currently carried on the SPP Custom Download service. Doing this allows a customer to create a set of filters that they can save and later re-use on several different SPP versions.

Offline Automatic mode - Firmware components update without interaction
Offline Interactive mode - Onscreen instructions guide the user to update firmware components
Smart Update, https://www.hpe.com/info/smartupdate, is the umbrella technology that encompasses several products, including both SUM and the SPP. The Smart Update website serves as a “one-stop shop” portal for SUM and the SPP, as well as other products.
The SPP is a delivery mechanism for the firmware and software components for ProLiant servers, options, and the HPE BladeSystem infrastructure, including enclosure components. SUM is the deployment tool used to plan, schedule, and deploy the components delivered with the SPP.
SPP releases are driven by major ProLiant server releases, which occur several times a year. Although driven by the server releases, an SPP may not be released with every ProLiant server release. An SPP may also be released outside of a server release, so exceptions occur to the SPP’s delivery cycle alignment with major ProLiant server releases.
