HP ProLiant Servers DL380

[knightrider1994]

Hi All,

I'll be setting up new HP DL 380 sometime in the next few weeks, and want to get an idea on what to expect.  They will be used as esx servers.   i am trying to determine what the best way to update the drivers & firmware on these servers.  From what i read, the latest HP Proliant Server pack which should include the latest firmware and drivers.  am i wrong to assume that?   if that is not the case, what do you recommend the easiest way to update the firmware and drivers on these servers?  Should this be updated before i install esx software?

Apply the lates SPP to get the latest firmware and use the HPE ESXi images
