Driver Download Site Down Again Since the 12th - http://h20564.www2.hp.com

[pauldoom]

I have not been able to find an outage notice.  Unable to download a few things needed for weekend maintenance.

Two things:

* Can anyone point me to notice?

* Can someone from HP explain why their driver/downloads site has so many long outages?  This is unacceptable and makes it hard for people in the field to quickly acquire and install fixes.

Thanks!

HPSC seems to be working fine now:

http://www.hp.com/go/hpsc

Or was it a particular URL off of HPSC?

It looks like the front end is not down.  The specific link is:

http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/downloadFile?fileLocation=68747470733A2F2F6D792E766D776172652E636F6D2F7765622F766D776172652F64657461696C733F646F776E6C6F616447726F75703D48502D455358492D352E352E3055322D47412670726F6475637449643D333533

Yes, that link doesn't work for me either, what was the referring URL?

Paul - I'm not aware of any outages on HPSC over this past weekend.  But I'd be happy to look into this specific download you're having problems with.  Can you let me know which page that link was from please?

Thanks,

Kevin

The referring page is http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=5194969&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4166 (See Software - CD-ROM, HP Custom Image for VMware vSphere 5.5 Update 2) 

Chat support provided a link from VMware's site, which I should have checked for in the first place: https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details?downloadGroup=HP-ESXI-5.5.0U2-GA&productId=353

I understand HP has a massive download set to manage and I don't expect perfection.   I would urge HP to provide either an alternate download reposity or move toward a distributed system to allow for maintenance/outages/etc. without completly cutting off access. 

Thanks for the responses from all!
