Linux ubuntu update server not responding

RainCaster — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 11:31:21 GMT

My Proliant is not getting it's updates any more from HPE. For several weeks now I have been getting the same error messages. I do a "sudo apt update" and part of it is as follows:

Ign:2 http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/mcp jammy/12.40 InRelease
Ign:2 http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/mcp jammy/12.40 InRelease

W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Ubuntu version 22.04.5 LTS

Hello RainCaster

I had the same Problem somehow HPE did change something.

You have to Manualy change the repo URLs from http:// to https://

Here's what to do with SUDO!!!

Change in all these Repos the

/etc/yum.repos.d/HPE-spp-gen11.repo

The Line

baseurl=http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/fwpp-gen11/RedHat/9/$basearch/current

baseurl=https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/fwpp-gen11/RedHat/9/$basearch/current

/etc/yum.repos.d/HPE-hpsum.repo

The Line

baseurl=http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/hpsum/RedHat/9/$basearch/current

baseurl=https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/hpsum/RedHat/9/$basearch/current

and repeate the process for

iloreset, and spp

For you it would be different Repos i see but the Process is the same.

This should fix youre issue. It did for me hope that helps you.

Best Regards

Robin Kiefer

Hello RainCaster,

I would like to know whether you can access & login successfully into the link through general browser?

While that works for Redhat, I have Ubuntu, which is a little different. Your hint sent me down the right path, however. In my case the solution was to edit the file "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/mscp.list" I simply needed to change the URL from http to https.

Here's what the corrected file looks like:

# HPE Management Component Pack
deb [signed-by=/usr/local/share/keyrings/hpe-key.gpg] https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/mcp jammy/12.40 non-free
