Software and configuration utilities 58

Software and firmware

Software and firmware should be updated before using the server for the first time, unless any installed

software or components require an older version.

For system software and firmware updates, use one of the following sources:

• Download the SPP ("HP Service Pack for ProLiant" on page 52) from the HP Service Pack for ProLiant

download page (http://www.hp.com/go/spp).

• Download individual drivers, firmware, or other systems software components from the node product

page in the HP Support Center (http://www.hp.com/go/hpsc).

Version control

The VCRM and VCA are web-enabled Insight Management Agents tools that HP SIM uses to schedule

software update tasks to the entire enterprise.

• VCRM manages the repository for SPP. Administrators can view the SPP contents or configure VCRM to

automatically update the repository with internet downloads of the latest software and firmware from

HP.

• VCA compares installed software versions on the node with updates available in the VCRM managed

repository. Administrators configure VCA to point to a repository managed by VCRM.

For more information about version control tools, see the HP Systems Insight Manager User Guide, the HP

Version Control Agent User Guide, and the HP Version Control Repository User Guide on the HP website

(http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim).

HP operating systems and virtualization software support for

ProLiant servers

For information about specific versions of a supported operating system, see the HP website

upcoming hardware and software changes on HP commercial products.
