VMware ESXi 5.5 and ProLiant DL380 Gen9 firmware compatability

[JB-LH]

I have several ProLiant DL380 Gen9 servers running ESXi 5.5. Does anybody know what the most recent version of Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) to officially support 5.5 is?

In researching the various recipes, I thought it was 2017.04.0. Though, before I update any firmware, I'd like to be sure.

Thank you for your time.

Hi again, Jags_21. Do you know if it's possible to upgrade to the latest iLO version while running 2017.04.00 firmware? Does one have any impact on the other?

Hi,

I am glad I was helpful earlier and hopefully this time as well.

Check the URL: Nov2017VMwareRecipeSPP201704_22.5.1.pdf 

This document specifies the versions of firmware, and software that are recommended for use with VMware vSphere 5.x
and VMware vSphere 6.x OS releases in conjunction with the HP Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) 2017.04.0.

Once you are through with this SPP and any latest version available apart from the SPP content then please do check for any prerequisites under Installation Instruction tab in download page

Thanks,

Thanks again, Jags_21! I really appreciate your assistance with this.
