link to all firmware list

[GrdNico]

Hello all,

info :

i have a database with all my procurve information (more than 250 switchs)

the goal is to get a file with all the switch that are not at the last firmware version.

i make a pyhton script that get the IP addr , model et location for all switch from the database and then make snmpget to each one and get this type of information : "ProCurve J9279A Switch 2510G-24, revision Y.11.41, ROM N.10.02 (/sw/code/build/cod)"

question :

does it exist a page or file on the HP web site that have a list of all last firmware version ? 

I can make a file with the information but we have more than 30 models and I don't want to take 20 minutes each month to look at each model form this page ( https://h10145.www1.hp.com/downloads/ProductsList.aspx?lang=&cc=&prodSeriesId= ) to see if there is a new firmware :)

any hint ?

Regards.

Nicolas

What network management software do you use?

If you use IMC (for example), it displays all your devices with their firmware status and shows you what newer firmware is available.

There must be a feed that IMC gets all the new firmwares from...

Same for procurve manager.

It downloads a "procurve_firmware.prp" file from ftp or http.

Seems like this download file is not completely current.

i have the file availeble, its readable plaintext.

Here is a snip:

I used to use the Procurve Manager data but with that heading towards EOL, I think that's a bit of a dead loss these days. I haven't looked to see what IMC does, although that might be useful.

What I do know is screen scrape the firmware pages, which works well enough. Code fragment as below (I've deleted a lot of surrounding code, so this is just to get you started).

url = 'https://h10145.www1.hp.com/downloads/SoftwareReleases.aspx?ProductNumber=' + productName

parser = ET.HTMLParser()

tree = ET.parse(self.cacheFile, parser)

nodes = tree.xpath("//table[@class='data']/tr/td/span")

You need the J number for the productName, which can easily be found from the snmp data.
