I run into the same issues with a pare of DL380s (Gen9). I ended up reaching out to someone that had a support contract on similar models and they downloaded the individual firmware updates and sent them to me. Dell is so much easier to work with on older off support servers.

It's funny to me that this is your experience with HP, I've never had any issues finding drivers on any of my HP servers (around 10), but when I tried getting drivers for my IBM ds3524 I was told by support that it is outside warranty and I would have to purchase extended warranty to get drivers. Ended up having to find the drivers on some sketchy Russian FTP server.

On HP Machines if you hold down F11 when pressing the power button it will default to the boot menu, allows you to walk away and come back without missing it (not sure if you enable that but its a feature)

I'm impressed you have all these problems, i have 10x Gen9 servers currently, and they have been some of the smoothest to update of all the HP/E servers iv'e had (also easier than Dell Rx30 for the record!). That being said, i'm certain your USB drive is corrupted, that message means something is messed up. Mounting an ISO through the client works a lot better than Dell's iDRAC, but, it works even better if you put the iso on a web server and point ilo to it, it will boot much faster this way. The BIOS .flash file and the ILO .bin file can all be extracted from the SPP. Personally i can recommend the Interactive mode, as you will get much better insight into what's going on. The automatic mode is really only good for mass-updating servers.

Ya this whole firmware behind a paywall thing was frustrating me this last week. I had to do the same thing and get someone else to get it for me. One note that battery write back cache battery will significantly improve disk performance if it is installed and working. Also you will want the latest system board firmware and ILO firmware. With out that the fans will stay at 100% and be loud as hell until you reset ILO then it will creep back up in a few hours.

Just updated my old DL380 G9 BIOS from P89 v2.76 (Nov 13, 2019) to v2.96 (May 26, 2022). All newer BIOS versions seem to be locked unless you have an account. Anyway, after downloading the 8Mb file from HPE and putting it on a freshly formatted 32G USB flash drive (according to some comments, the USB drive must be 32G or smaller) you boot up and choose F9 and then navigate through the BIOS menu until you find firmware update options. Here you can choose to update the BIOS, RAID controller, network, or whatever device you are updating. It will then ask for location of file and after pointing to the USB drive it took right off. Reboot and done. Hope this helps if anyone is having problems in 2024.

The Gen9 generation is probably the worst choice for the homelab setup or anyone that didn't buy into the entire HP vertical. Here's a couple reasons I've personally ran into: 1.) Plug in anything (PCIe or HDD/SSD) that isn't HP branded and with HP firmware, and the server will automatically ramp every single system fan to max. Don't know if there's workaround these days, it didn't when I tried around 2 years ago. 2.) G9 was about the time when they started locking the newest (non-critical) updates behind a service contract paywall. The problem is, their definition of critical and mine are not aligned. 3.) The ILO4 versions I tried were buggy as hell, with barely working KVMs. Going through the web console was completely broken, luckily the standalone ILO application was ok. I think that's why they finally came out with an html5 console, just to allow working access. All in all, I think they are just pushing people who are not directly making them money away from their products, which is too bad because their hardware is decently solid. But I've moved my own equipments to dell now, and have consulted on a few other shops (few thousand nodes all together now) to make the switch on one of their two primary suppliers, so far everyone's happy with the switch. The earliest batch are nearing replacement time now and that shop is perfectly happy to stick with dell. Turns out when a company decisions causes another company's vp of infra a few inconveniences and restless nights for no appearent reason, they really remember that and even with the accountants holding the purse, they still have enough pull to justify a few % difference on commodity hardware.

Updated to HPE dark mode….. I have only worked with all generations of DL380 and DL360 up to Gen 8 (and modeles like the Compaq Proliant 3000 and 7000 before that). Updating wasn’t a problem on those. The pay wall started around the Gen8, if I’m correct. I always used the CD player in the server, if my memory serves me right. Maybe an external USB DVD player on the latest series. Updating the OS with the Proliant Support Pack (PSP).

As much I have dealt with it then the BIOS firmware is signed for that particular system and you just can not download it for the other system, transfer it around or whatever. For the HPE if it is outside of warranty then it is all for that (the same fate is with a lot of HPE gear). Only thing freely upgradeable firmware is the Ilo4 part there.

At work we buyed an HPE server like 3 years ago, and i had to download an ISO, because that "online SPP one-button firmware upgrade" stuff didn't work at all, even when they recommended to use it in their documentation. I prefer to just use a DVD drive on the server, or some USB DVD drive to do the upgrade, and save the hassle of trying to get the server to upgrade from an USB flash drive, which should be the easiest thing to do, but for some strange reason, it frequently isn't 🤷‍♂

You can upload the ROM file through the iLO, just like the iLO firmware. Download that for free from HPE. All other firmware components are a pain to use. But you could have a old ISO, that doesn’t work anymore. when a new one releases the older ones are "deactivated" in some way.

I work with HPE different generations a lot…. Driver and all firmware is avaialble free on the support web site just with free login. But consolidated SSP … where all drivers and firmware is consolidated, it is availalbe for free for very old servers and for new G10 generations… g7, 8, 9 all are under the same policy… either downlkoad individual components for free or get a support contract and have access to bundeled patches. But other vendors are also going that route…..

It will schedule the firmware upgrades on the next boot. We had them at our HQ or did site-visits to perform hardware-upgrades on slow-link sites so sending them over the internet wasn't really an option. I have used multiple versions of the SPP and all of them performed as expected. Looks like you found about everything that could go wrong besides bricking your server :p

To be fair I steer clear from FW as best possible even though I am required to kinda write my own for my own devices I create. FW can be a bitch which can brick! -Amazing video buddy.

Hello, From my experience, which "I've been there" firmware update multiple generations of servers, G8's G9's and G10's for ex. I never had those kind of issues with the HP SPP iso, so are you certain that your ISO is not damaged? I mean, did you for ex. compared md5 or sha1 hash with the calculated one from the ISO you're using to make sure is not damaged? BTW booting into linux boot menu and exchanging to another image via iLO mostly does not work/boot correctly in that way... anyway booting in UEFI or Legacy BIOS, the SPP image should work fine.

I wanted to swap a PSU in a pc, turns out that HP used an inverted power good signal on that model so it wasn't possible to use a regular PSU from the shelf. Want to change to a less noisy fan in a HP Microserver - for some fucked up reason HP uses 0% pwn for full speed and 100% pwn for off, so you can't use a regular pwm fan it HAS to be a modified one. I get regular 404 errors when I try to get a patch or a driver from hp support, it's just not updated. And then there is the paywall issue if you try to run a slightly older server. It's like HP deliberately tries to be a pain in the rear for no other reason than being so.. HP can suck my left one!

I just got myself a HP ML310E Gen8 And updated the ILO from 1.4 something to 2.81 or something and now i get a error saying the Internal SDcard for the Intelegent Provisioning is not finding the Firmware or something.. and the new ILO4 Firmware has a option to wipe the SDcard but not helping lol :P seems a lot of people with the same issue.. Server runs fine but not impressed Realy Want to get my Hands on a Dell R710 or another IBM X3750 M2/M3 That my Buddy Andy Banks Gave me a year or so ago. Hi Andy.

I dunno you know, I'm less then 6mins in to this and maybe if the firmware fails it could be a dodgy DL, have you error checked the software you've downloaded because not all just shows as faulty off the bat. -Just a kinda guess ahead of seeing the end.

Search Digiboy website for latest SPP, just run the launch_sum from a windows server (browser), never use automatic. Start with flashing your bios and ILO on latest version. Raidcontrollers that fail flashing most of the time do flash when you tempory disconnect battery and cache memory block.

Another HP(E) Yay.. So yeah... Some tips for working with ProLiant: 1. Use iLO Standalone Console (You can get it here: support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/swd/detail?swItemId=MTX_bc8e3ffa59904ec3b505d9964d#tab1) 2. Use Ventoy or HP's USB Utility for writing SPPs to USB Drives 3. Get a current iLO Update 4. If everything fails.. install Windows on the Machine and run the SPP from there... That never failed for me. 5. If you need current SPPs, you can send me a message. I have a bunch for Gen5,Gen6, Gen7, Gen8 (v2) and Gen9

Normally we suggest the customer use the interactive firmware update and the UEFI boot mode. Also, the customer might have to backup the data to prevent unexpected issues. If you still have an issue, I will suggest you update the BIOS or iLO first and use the SPP update later.

The fact that they lock updates behind a paywall is actually a security issue. How many HP servers are out there like sitting ducks because HPE is too greedy. Perhaps the EU should mandate that computer manufacturers need to supply free updates for some minimum amount of years after they stop selling those models. I'm thinking 10 - 15 years is reasonable. Otherwise, you're prematurely generating e-waste.
