SmartStart Firmware CD?
Support are suggesting I use the SmartStart Firmware CD to ensure the iLO/RAID/HDD/BIOS etc. are up to date on our P4300/P4500 G2s.
Only thing is they aren't listed on the support matrix for the firmware CD/DVD, yet there is a PDF title " P4300 and P4500 Firmware Compatibility Matrix" which suggests to download and apply the SmartStart CD.
So basically, as usual, the documentation is rather contradictory :)
Has anyone used the SmartStart Firmware CD and did you have any issues with it?
I've asked support for more details on confirming it is supported.

Re: SmartStart Firmware CD?
Hey Paul,
I've had the same advise from support before. I too was quite surprised to hear this. However this caused no issue's, and if my memory serves me well it even solved the problem I was having back then.
Kind regards,
Joris Vliegen

Re: SmartStart Firmware CD?
Thanks Joris. Support suggested the 9.3 SmartStart is the recommended one.
I know the P4000 is a DL180 but I was sure I'd read it was a custom board or something, but support were adamant that it's supported to use SmartStart to update the firmwares.

Re: SmartStart Firmware CD?
Paul,
I'm not sure of you will be able to access this link:
http://h20272.www2.hp.com/Pages/spock2Html.aspx?htmlFile=hw_iscsi.html
However if you can access it you'll find the "P4300 and P4500 Firmware compatibility matrix".
Kind regards,
Joris Vliegen
