Why is HPE software so rubbish? I have had enough of how bad it is. virtual Service processor

[T_1_6]

We have some vSP's in our environment.

Randomly they just screw up on their own and stop working. Web interfaces refuse to connect/load, with "connection Refused" when you try and access via the broswer.

Sometimes a reboot fixes, but most of the time they are broken. They are running the lastest 5.0.8.1 release.

It is just so tedious now with all these HPE things not working, the standards are SO BAD for all these virtual appliances. We pay thousands and thousands a year for HPE "support" only to have this garbage software go wrong ALL THE TIME.

HPE's answer is to redeploy all the vSP's from scratch again.. LOL., why should I?!!? We PAY enough to NOT have to do this.

HPE please sort out your products, this stuff is absolute garbage, and we will never, ever use HPE again for anything, as the level of babying, administration, bugs, fixing bugs, getting the most simple of things to work is a full time job in itself. It is a sick joke that this stuff is labelled as enterprise.

The last straw for me is that we have no working virtual service processors, and I CANNOT EVEN DOWNLOAD THE SOFTWARE NOW from the portal, despite paying thousands annually for "support" and proactive care etc.

I cannot sustain this level of sheer ineptitude any more, HPE, you really really should be ashamed of the support you are giving to paying customers. Enough is enough.

Why do you have to PM the users that complain about things not working? Surely it would be helpful to us all if we could see why this software is not working and what the fix is. Personally, I struggle to get anything from the HPE support site, pages that don't open, etc. So far today I have spent 2 hours trying to download HP SSA and have only just acquired it. 2 bloody wasted hours. Your site sucks.

Hello @Neilmill,

I had to contact Mr.@T_1_6 over PM because we had to exchange details like array serial number, IP address, personal contact etc which can't be shared in this public forum.

Mr.@T_1_6 had some gap in understanding as HPE lately moved to entitlement based software availability. He was facing an issue with VSP as well due to resource crunch. I helped him on screenshare to redeploy the VSP which I guess working fine (he never got back to later on email/PM)

PM was requested to provide personalised, robust support. HPE is always committed to provide best of customer support. Some gap in understanding and factors outside our knowledge has caused Mr @T_1_6 some issues. That was addressed over the phone call and screenshare session.

If you are facing any difficulty, please provide more details so that we can extend our support. Please feel free to PM as well.

Couldn't have said it better myself.   Sick of HPEs crappy software and their hardware is going downhill too.

Hello @T_1_6,

When I tried to assist you, you stopped responding.

When I followed up with you about what was the status, you never responded.

I wonder you making this statement here now! Rather, you could provide details about what is the current issue? and what assistance are you looking for?
