How to deploy HPE SPP on Ubuntu Server

[RemiFlourac]

Hi,

I prepare a DL380 Gen10 with Ubuntu server 20.04.

As for Windows Server, I want to deploy firmware and drivers updates on this server.

I try with remote ILO from a Windows machine and i'm missing iSUT.

iSUT only exist in RPM format.

Try to install after conversion onto DEB format but it doesn't work.

How to do ?

Best regards,

Rémi

Hello there, as per the releas notes, these are the supported OS:

The following operating systems are supported for system software and firmware:

•Microsoft Windows Server 2022

•Microsoft Windows Server 2019-All Editions

•Microsoft Windows Server 2016-All Editions

•Red Hat Enterprise Linux, 8.5, 8.6

•Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.8, 7.9

•SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15SP3, SP4

•SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12SP5

•VMware vSphere8.0, 7.0U2, U3

https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docLocale=en_US&docId=a00127259en_us

So, if you only need to update the server's firmware, try to use the iLO's virtual media feature, load the SPP ISO and boot the server from that virtual media and perform the firmware update.

Regards.

Luis, thank you for your answer.

I applied SPP firmware by ILO.

For compatibility, the link you provide didn't mention Ubuntu at all and on HPE Servers Support & Certification Matrices, Ubuntu 20.04 is certified (https://techlibrary.hpe.com/us/en/enterprise/servers/supportmatrix/ubuntu.aspx )

Maybe firmware update is enough.
