installed version / Support pack version / Latest version

[Steve Weeks_1]

Right guys..

i've getting some flack from the boss about our yellow servers in SW status.

Even if i have the SP versions all up to date and everything at revision 7.60 i still get yellows because the 'latest version' is more up to date.

but with close to 500 servers, how can i resolve this... i can't deploy 10 items individually to 500 machines... the logistics beind it isn't viable.

Is there no way to do an Auto update for the latest versions of each ?

Steve,
what i have been doing is to create a Custom Support Pack, that includes all updates on top of the SP from HP. Go to your Repository Manager, create Custom SP and base it on the 7.60a, then check off the newer versions (I took a few tries to add all versions for al platforms). Then i make that the Reference SP and roll that out to all servers. That way you are 100% and can include the BIOS ROM updates too.
