HP ProLiant DL320e Generation 8 (Gen8)
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 interdepencies, when determining the correct updates and order of
update deployment.
NOTE: The Service Pack for ProLiant (which includes HP SUM 5) can be
downloaded from www.hp.com/go/spp/download. More information can be
