updates for the HP ProLiant DL360 G5

[chief_media]

is there an easy way to verify and update if necessary all the updates for the HP ProLiant DL360 G5? from what I've discovered, you need access to Version Control Repository Manager, but I don't see that on my system...

Go to the download page for the DL360 G5 and pick the OS you have.  You'll find all the software there.  At least for now, the only thing you need an active support contract for is the latest SPP (service pack for proliant).  Some of the older machines say "entitlement required" for the BIOS updates, but I've been able to download them without logging in to my HP account.  The only thing I've ever had to login for and make sure my machine serial # or contract #'s were entered was for the latest 2014.02.0 SPP.

Here's a generic link I have bookmarked for the Proliant DL series downloads... start from there and navigate to what you have.  Why are HP URL's so long... there's probably some parameters in there that aren't strictly neeed. :)  If the link doesn't work, it's not hard to find from the HP support page.
