They keep chaning the web site; you just have to look for the G6 software and there's a link there. As of 11-4-2017 here's a working link and no - you do NOT need a contract or even a login to the HPE web site to download the ISO
Type: Software - CD-ROM
Version: 8.70(B)(1 Dec 2011)
File name: smartstart-8.70B-0-x64.zip (625 MB)
> I see no way of getting it changed. can this be done in the hpacucli utility or do I need some unix emulator to do it?
Not sure, you need to format it with a different blocksize.
FYI: 520 is used for DIF protection. It's a checksum.
Does this help?

Im in the same boat here with my G6 and I have been looking for two days now, can somebody gve the link for the drivers please. I am doing research with this servers so it needs to be complete before I proceed forward.
Dr. Rob
They don't all work
Going by the advice from HPE we tried Xeon E3-1220L v3.
It did not work.
However, Pentium G3240T and G3250T, neither listed on the compatibility list, work fine.
What about all the Xeon V4 socket 1150 CPUs?
Why is HP not releasing any BIOS updates? There are now likely many other CPUs that could run in the ML10v2 board- as other boards that run these CPUs can. It seems HP is only doing security updates for hardware now.
Please help:
I need the main board BIOS update Firmware binary,file (or ISO ,etc)
looks like I can get all software and firmware related, to my G7. (and did)
but not the ROM main, BIOS>update (in any form)
and not THE SPP ISO. file. G7 SPP, it even shows windows server 2016 there, wow.
seems if I could just get the ISO SPP, even paying for it, to HP , be good.
sorry for noob questions (only here), ! best wishes.
or this..

looking forward for any reply ..thanks
Hi,
I have installed Centos 6.9(final) Operating system on DL360 G7 Server and have noticed like VLAN tagging is not happening .
I tried to install hp-netxtreme2-7.0.36-2.src.rpm (which is for RHEL 6) and i got errors.
Can somebody suggest me how to proceed?
Thanks in advance.
hello folks
does anybody know what is the difference between full interleaving and channel interleaving which are listed in memory interleaving menu in rsbu?
is this what you are looking for?

When I tried to install Cent OS 7.4 on HP Proliant Server the process gets hanged I have added the screenshot of the error log.
It looks like you are having issues with the iso image. Read through this post to see if that helps you with your issue.

What model server?
The image name says iLO, are you using virtual media and mounting the ISO image with iLO?
Have you verfied the ISO image checksum?
Issue with the network?
Hi all,
I purchased a used dl360p gen8 (v1, older version). Intelligent Provisioning and iLO 4 aren't working.
For Int.Prov., I could hit F10 during boot, but the system would beep twice and then reboot. Int.Prov. was/is enabled in BIOS. I tried updating the firmware using a usb drive and the usb iso utility (I tried 1.63, 1.62b, and 1.61). It seemed to finish for 1.63, but then F10 still had same behavior. The process wouldn't complete for 1.62b and 1.61 (said something about ilo4 was unreachable?). So I figured I would try to use iLO 4.
However, instead of the line that says to hit F8 during boot up to configure iLO4, it says that it's unavailable or not responding. It does give the ilo version as 2.20. I tried to connect to the IP address that shows up during boot; the web interface pops up, but I can't log in because it says "Connection with iLO cannot be established. If you recently made changes to the network configurations, you may need to refresh this page to re-negotiate an SSL connection.". I don't know the network settings other than the IP address because I can't access the ilo4 configurator. I tried flipping the security switch on the motherboard, but it doesn't seem to have done anything. Also tried unplugging for awhile and rebooting: nothing.
My guess is that a file on the flash is corrupted. Any idea how I can get iLO4 and Int.Prov. to work? Is there someway to reflash ilo4?
Thanks
But I don't want to pay for SPP. Any idea how to do this without SPP?
Seems like this is a common problem for many ilo4 versions: https://community.hpe.com/t5/ProLiant-Servers-ML-DL-SL/iLO-4-issues/m-p/6710352
More info: I can print the IP address successfully. But I cannot log in to the web interface.
I used Intelligent Provisioning to set up 5 Raid Arrays and load the OS. (Server 2012R2)
C: Raid 1, D: Raid 1, E: Raid 1, F: Raid 5, G: Raid 5 I double checked the Arrays and they are recognised in HP Intelligent Provisioning with the correct Raid settings.
When I re-booted into Windows 2012R2, Computer Management, Disk Management, the C: OS Drive shows as "Basic" and on line. All other Arrays were Off Line. I put the other Arrays on line and gave them drive letters. All Arrays are Healthy. They also show as "Basic". Do I need to convert them to Dynamic Disk in Disk Management in order for Raid to work?
Thank you

Anyone can help? Appreciate it
I found this: https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c00719376
But it appears to be aimed at older generations. It seems the smart update manager requires an OS to be installed. Any one know if I should try that or not? I'd rather get all of the firmware sorted out before installing an OS. Supposedly I can install new firmware using SUM.
I say that, then I find this: https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?sp4ts.oid=5194969&swItemId=MTX_32179cba6b174fb4a43c47fd45&swEnvOid=4184#tab3
Installation:
To update firmware from the Linux operating system on target server:
Download the SCEXE file to the target server.
Execute: sh CP0xxxxx.scexeTo obtain firmware image for updating via iLO user interface, utilities, or scripting interface:
Download the SCEXE file to a client running a Linux operating system. Execute: sh CP0xxxxx.scexe --unpack=directory
This command will unpack the ilo4_1XX.bin into a user specified "directory". If the directory does not exist, the unpacker will attempt to create it.To use HP Smart Update Manager on the Firmware Maintenance CD:
Place the Firmware Maintenance CD on a USB key using the USB Key Creator Utility.
Copy CP0xxxxx.scexe to /compaq/swpackages directory on the USB Key.
Follow HP Smart Update Manager steps to complete firmware update.
I couldn't find anything more recent than 2010 on the firmware maintenance CD/DVD... my guess is that SPP replaced it. The SUM 7.? manual says that "in offline mode, the SPP boost a small linux kernal", but again, I don't want to buy SPP because it probably costs more than I paid for the server. A newer SUM 8.? manual says:
Running from an ISO If your ISO contains updates, you can copy the ISO to a DVD or USB key. From the DVD or USB key, you can run SUM in an offline interactive or automatic mode. • Automatic mode — Firmware components update without interaction. To launch automatic mode: 1. Install the DVD or USB key into the server, boot the server to the DVD or USB key. 2. SUM launches and deploys updates after a short period. • Interactive offline mode — Allows you to use the GUI mode to deploy updates. To launch offline interactive mode: ◦ Install the DVD or USB key into the server, boot the server to the DVD or USB key.
In offline mode, SUM boots a small SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 boot kernel and enables updates to occur on a single server
So does this strategy make sense?
I really don't want to try this without an expert's input.
I'm guess I can use the same method to update other firmware, right? What else should I update?
Thanks!
Another update: I can't find the iso for SUM 8.0.0. SUM 7.6.0 supposedly has an iso listed (http://h17007.www1.hpe.com/us/en/enterprise/servers/products/service_pack/hpsum/index.aspx?version=7.6.0), but I can't find where to download it. I've only found windows (zip) or linux (rpm) downloads in the enterprise support center.
The iso is required for the usb key utility. I suppose I could create one from the files, but I'm not sure if that will work.
A few more comments:
It seems that SPP is the only "right" way to do this now.
I attempted to chat with technical experts, but I can't because I don't have a warranty or service agreement.
The sales rep said a 1 year post warranty would cost $650, which is what I paid for the server and is about 2x what a new system board is worth. She gave me the number to call for out of warranty support, but it's a premium number, so will cost me.
There are apparently some sketchy download links for various versions of SPP, including indian and torrent sites. I can't link those here obviously. I believe they've split the SPP's into production and post production after 2017.04.0.
In order to reduce the frequency at which servers need to be updated, HPE is changing the packaging and delivery of the SPP.
Going forward, two types of SPPs will be released:
A single “Production SPP” that contains the firmware and drivers for the all of the production server generations, and
Multiple server generation specific “Post-Production SPPs” that contain the firmware and drivers for a specific post-production server generation (e.g. Gen8 only Post-Production SPP that contains the firmware and drivers for all of Gen8 server models).
When a server generation transitions to “Post-Production,” the firmware and drivers for that server generation are frozen, packaged together on a “Post-Production SPP,” and released. The “Post-Production SPP” is supported through the EOS (end of support) for that server generation, and all future firmware and driver updates are released as hot fixes. This eliminates the need for yearly updates.
The 2017.04.0 SPP is the last production SPP to contain components for the G7 and Gen8 server platforms. For additional information, please refer to Reducing Server Updates.
So for gen 8 proliant servers, you really want the 2017.04.0 SPP, then install any remaining driver updates/hot fixes. Later SPP's aren't useful for gen 8 servers.
I will likely attempt to use one of the sketchy download links since this server didn't cost me that much....worst comes to worse I have to replace the system board, which is current plan B now anyways.
Anyone have any answers to my above questions?
