Spectre and Meltdown

[grinningdevil]

Think contradicts with another HPE link present here  >  

https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-a00039267en_us

For example, if you search 660c Gen 8,  the above link says "TBD" under resolved in which ROM version - but the same server when searched in the link you gave advises for installation of  "I 32" ROM version.  

Which is the correct link to follow to check if my specific model has a fix available or not ? ( earlier was using the link I gave above )

 Hi, I have the same Trouble,

I have updated my server "Proliant DL380p Gen8", with the last system ROM available "P70 01/22/2018"

I have update my vmware 5.5 to the last version available, " ESXI,5.5.0, 7618464"

My OS have bben updated too.

And i have always not patched for all.

Hardware support branch target injection mitigation is present : False

I have restated several time, and it's the same.

Anybody running HPE BL460c G8/9 safe now by upgrading to HP SPP 2018.03?

[grinningdevil]

I have not updated mine to 2018.03 - but rather used manual patching on couple of servers - G8 and G9 - and they are working fine since a week or so.  They have been now handed over to Virtualization guys to apply their end of patch for Hypervisor layer.

Allright. 

I do both the hardware and software patching from our company.

We're running G9 BL460c with Server 2016 and Hyper-V in clusters.

Have you been able to see any performance impacts yet on these Hypervisors? Running ESXi I guess?

[grinningdevil]

None so far - no impact noticed.  Load on hypervisor is the same as before - check wih MS about probable patching needed for HyperV. 

For Instance, VMWARE has come up with the following final advisory -

Just wanted to reply back on an old post here - we finally have upgraded all of our hosts to Server 2019 w. Hyper-V

So, now - we are back on track!
