Firmware Catalog for Automation

I have a very large number of servers of various models. (DLs, Moonshots, Apollos, etc.). I'd like to automate firmware updates across the entire footprint.  With our Dell systems, Dell offers an endpoint from which we can pull a catalog of all of their systems and the current firmware for each.  We then use that to download the files we need and update the systems accordingly.  Does HP have any such mechanism?  Is there an API I can hit that would give me similar up-to-date firmware information for all hardware types?  As well as a method for downloading the requesite files without requiring a person to manually login to the website and search for each device?

Re: Firmware Catalog for Automation

Hello @Marcus_Spain,

HPE does offer ways to automate firmware inventory and updates, but it’s not a single one‑size‑fits‑all anonymous endpoint like some vendors. You’ll combine HPE management APIs/tools (and an entitlement to HPE software/downloads) to build a fully automated workflow.
