looking for hp-nx_nic-4.0.59* src.rpm for SLES11 SP3

[rolandm]

DL580G7 Server HP NC522SFP 10GbE nx_nic

SLES11 SP2 was ok.

Cannot find src.rpm for SLES11SP3.

Downloadable binary drivers do not fit.  (too old)

# uname -a

Linux xen1 3.0.101-0.35-xen #1 SMP Wed Jul 9 11:43:04 UTC 2014 (c36987d) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Downloadable source rpm is too old (4.0.539)  ??????

Some years ago HP Proliant LINUX support was much better :-(

The kmp driver for SP3 should work with the newer kernel

Hello,

same here. no src.rpm and binary kernel modules do not fit actual kernel.

I got a stable server with the SLES11SP3  stock drivers by disabling hp-health deamons (version 9.40)

Looking for a solution for my problem i finally found the HP Service Pack for Proliant 2014.09.0.

I had to link my warrenty contracts to my account to download the file.

After installing the SPP the binary nx_nic driver was symlinked to my actual kernel and

the hp-health version 10.0 was installed.

That is crazy.

If i look on the HP Proliant support pages for DL580 Proliant Support Package they say version 9.1 from 2012 is actual.

Searching for other servers i find version 9.40.

Now there seems to be a new product called HP Service Pack thats includes all the actual firmware and drivers.

But if you look for the old PSP there is  no hint about that.

This took me more than one week to find out.

BTW firmware for the buildin 1Gbit nx_nic now is 4.0.596,

for the PCIE dual 10Gbit nx_nic is still 4.0.593
