Looking for SPP version that shows 2.50 on ILO splash screen

[deritchie]

I have a DL380 Gen9 that I need to drop back to iLo firmware 2.50 from 2.72. Is there a list somewhere that maps
SPP releases to firmware versions? 

Thanks!

I just answered my own question:

If you go to to https://www.hpe.com/servers/spp/documentation

and look for the release notes. in that area, there is a  number of Content reports 
(such as SPP 2017.04.0 Contents Report ) that have various release identifiers for each package. 
The System Rom version number seems to be unique between SPP.  In this case, it appears that 
SPP 2017..4.0 is the version to which I need to revert.

Hi David,

Even Service Pack for ProLiant version 2017.07.2 contain HPE Integrated Lights-Out 4 version 2.50.

Service Pack for ProLiant version 2017.07.2 Contents:

You can download any one of the SPP from below link.

Why that?

Be aware, SPPs older than 1 year are no longer supported.

Quantum StorNext is crashing  on boot for 2.74, and 2.72 is incrementally better but dies in a different way. Dropping back to 2.50 to see if the boot problem was present before I upgraded the firmware to 2.74 or not.

Sorry to necro, but there's another legitimate reason to drop the system ROM back to 2.50 or older:  https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docLocale=en_US&docId=sf000075382en_us
SPS firmware apparently can't be updated unless you're back below 2.50, according to that doc.
