Proliant Support Pack Gen 8 (SPP)

[GazGaz]

Hi,

Does anyone have the PSP (SPP) for Gen 8 ML310?

Will it play nicely on Server 2019?

Thanks - Gaz

Thanks support_s, but I don't see how that solves my issue.

HP seem to have withdrawn the download for that generation, so I would need to find a copy elsewhere.

Hi @GazGaz ,

Hope this helps!

Please find the link for service pack for proLiant for Gen8 server here

Windows server 2019 is not supported. To check compatibility, please refer to the 'Find a version' section on the left side of the same page mentioned above. Select the product and environment as per your requirement and download the SPP.

Thank you!

Please mark as 'Accepted solution' if my post worked.

Thank you @Harshitha_K,

I'm sure I visited that page before and the resource came back as not found, when I hit "obtain software".

So the last compatible version is server 2016. I wonder if anyone has any experience of running it on 2019?

I know it has been a while since you posted this question. I can confirm that the DL380 G8, once updated with the SPP (P03093_001_spp-Gen8.1-SPPGen81.4), will successfully install Server 2019. My assumption is that this SPP also supports the ML310 G8. I used RUFUS 4.6 to make a bootable USB using the Server 2019 ISO and selecting MBR as the partition scheme and BIOS as the target system. Base hardware shows generic drivers for display and one unknown base system device. I haven't attempted to check for drivers as I just completed the install while typing this.

Just a followup on the drivers, the iLO 4 channel interface driver for Server 2016 installed and resolved the unknown device.
