omar 2 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) If anyone is looking for the Service Pack for the Gen8 You need a valid warranty and register with HP to download this officially. I know you dont really need this to update the server, but still nice to have. I found a torrenthttps://blog.1e3.ru/download-service-pack-for-proliant-spp-version-gen-8-1-iso-torrent/ MD5 checks out so is the official file and works. If this post isnt allowed please delete.

bearcat 80 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) Did you check with the MD5/SHA-256 checksums on HPE's official webpages, or did you just trust the Russian who posted a torrentlink with matching checksums ? btw: The 2017.04.0 SPP is the last production SPP to contain components for the G7 and Gen8 server platforms.

omar 2 Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=MTX_ff582daf008c4f529c4d6c28f6#tab3 They match, and used a MD5 checker on the file downloaded, SHA-256 also match. I'm not that firmiliar with server grade hardware or firmware But this one worked with my Gen8, even though it states 8.1 and released Nov 2017 but lol yeah I was skeptical when I saw it was from a russian link, dont know if you can fake those hashes.

bearcat 80 Posted Tuesday at 09:06 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:06 PM @Jo2021 do you really need the "russian" version? As I once wrote: The 2017.04.0 SPP is the last production SPP to contain components for the G7 and Gen8 server platforms. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also you can download component packages separately. Then when you create the bootable USB, you can copy the components into one of the folders, hp\swpackages I think, and then when you load it on your gen8, all the components you added also show up on the update list.

omar 2 Posted Wednesday at 12:44 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 12:44 PM Also here is another site you can use for other gen systems as well https://www.brainattic.org/download/hpe-spp/ As you can see the one bearcat lists is listed as the last one for Gen6 support And the one fore Gen8 is the one I've linked, the Gen8.1 Either will work, but again you can download and ass components to the USB drive you make. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bearcat 80 Posted yesterday at 09:01 PM Share Posted yesterday at 09:01 PM (edited) Good for you On HPE's webpage for Gen 8.1 they state: The 2017.04.0 SPP is the last production SPP to contain components for the G7 and Gen8 server platforms. So in any of the newer releases, there are no new updates for G7/8. Edited yesterday at 09:08 PM by bearcat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
omar 2 Posted 21 hours ago Author Share Posted 21 hours ago (edited) @bearcat please read the link you yourself have linked Yes you are correct, the 2017 is the last production SPP However is it not the last POST production SPP I mean even in the paragraph which state the bit about the 2017 has a link to Reducing Server Updates pdf which explains this! Gen8.1 IS a Post Production SPP So no its doesnt have "support for new technology, features, options and new major OS/hypervisor versions", but "When a server generation is in post-production, modifications to the firmware, drivers, and system software for that server generation is limited to bug fixes and security updates" Edited 21 hours ago by omar 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
