Upgrade Order - SPP or OS First?
I have a ProLiant DL380P-G8 system running VMware 5.1.
I have two sets of updates that need to be applied.
1. The most recent HP firmware updates from the SPP disk.
2. The VMware 5.1_u2 updates from the HP specific update disk.
Both are "boot from DVD" updates.
Question - Which update should I do first?
Bonus Question (if you're feeling generous) - Why?
Thanks all in advance for any time and insight.
JC

No matter OS and HW:
Allways update Drivers (or whatever you want to call it) first, then the HW.
The driver is a translator between the HW and the OS.

Re: Upgrade Order - SPP or OS First?
Thank you kind sir.
Just to be sure I understand you, the recommendation is to apply the VMware 5.1_u2 updates first (which contain updates to VMware and the VMware OS device drivers) and then do the SPP updates (which contain firmware updates for the hardware) afterward.
Seems logical I guess. And I assume from your statement that this would be true regardless of operating system?

Re: Upgrade Order - SPP or OS First?
Yes
VMWare first, then Hardware.
And You're welcome.
