SPP for Gen 9 Server

[Dileep P S]

Hello Everyone,

Could you please confirm the latest Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) available for Gen9 servers?

According to the link below, the latest version appears to be 2021.10.1:
HPE Support Center – SPP 2021.10.1

However, I noticed that I can create SPP 2022.03.0 from the following link:
HPE Custom SPP Creation Tool

Could you please advise which version should be recommended to the customer?

Best regards,

Hello Greeshma and Rabindra,

Thank you

But I could find a latest BIOS in hpe website which is not bundled in any SPP 

So can I recommend latest version of BIOS to customer is SPP does not have latest version of BIOS ?

Dear  Dileep P S

SPP is a bundle of packages which was selected as per compatibility & versioning. uses SPPs as baselines for firmware updates, monitoring deviations and allowing for forced updates. you can upgrade BIOS and iLO firmware partially after useing SPPs. Genaraly there is no impact for partial upgrade.  Please check below link for suggested firmware link.
