Check for firmware and driver updates
I've been asked to check whether our servers require firmware or driver updates. As there are about 50 of them I was wondering what the best way to go about this is? Is there HP software that can do this - preferably something straightforward that doesn't require installing on every server!
thanks for any help,
Al

2. Have you looked at Systems Insight Manager?

I will look at insight manager.
The servers are HP proliants mostly DL's with some ML's.

Re: Check for firmware and driver updates
As for your servers, you would only need to install the Managament Agents and the System Management Homepage (if you want to look at the servers individually).
Since these are DL's and ML's, you may already have the required management agents running. It would be a simple matter of importing the servers into the SIM console.
At the very least, you would need to update the agents. At the very most, you would need to download the latest agents for your server and OS and install them.
The bigger concern is installing and running SIM.
With only @ 50 servers in the environment, you do not need a very "beefy" machine to run SIM. If you have a powerful desktop, that might even work.... or a virtual machine if you have some type of virtualization in your environment.
