ProLiant Support Pack 7.51 - Any Issues?

[Keith W]

Are there any known issues with the PSP 7.51?

I am about to make th edecision on whether to install it on all our servers or not to bring them all up-to-date, but am trying to assess whether there are known issues which may make me want to wait.

Thanks

Kieth,

I have had some issues with some platforms & OS's.

What hardware/os are you planning on installing it on?

[Keith W]

Windows 2000 and 2003 Standard Servers.

Hardware is a mix of the following - Proliant DL380 G4, DL380 G4p, DL360 G4p, ML530 G2, ML370 G2, ML370 T01.

Keith,

We run similar server with Windows 2003 STD and had no dramas on the following:

ML370G3
DL360G4
DL380G4
BL30p

The problems I had were Redhat on blades, so from my experience there were no dramas.

Incidently, I've noticed recently HP now recommend that you keep the PSP's up to date with drivers & firmware for best system performance. It's probably a good idea to run the firmware maintenence CD on the servers as well.. (your choice)... I try and keep these up to date as well.

Hope this helps

Thank you

That's most helpful.

I will start planning the downtime.
