• Hp Proliant Dl320 G5 Server

I have the same issue in a new HP Proliant ML350 G5 Server with a single. When you say you updated the BIOS, what driver or file did you. The ProLiant DL380 is a consistent bestseller for HP thanks to its versatility. We take an exclusive look at the 2014 Gen9 model, which has been subject to a redesign.

Welcome to the ITRC Forums! The standard procedure: Go to and select 'Download drivers and software (and firmware)'. Type in your server model (in this case, 'DL380 G4' is enough and press Enter.

If your server model was ambiguous, the next page will be a list of matching server models: just pick one. If you're unsure, pick the basic model ('DL380 G4 Server'). The next step is OS selection. Pick the OS you're going to use for installing the firmware upgrades, if you intend to do it on-line.

For off-line upgrades, pick whatever OS is most familiar to you: the off-line upgrades should be downloadable through all OS choices. Now you should be on the download page. Go to the 'Firmware' category. Click the name of the upgrade to read installation instructions, release notes, version history and/or whatever extra information is available, or simply click the Download button.

Some of the downloads are on a FTP server: if you're behind a firewall that does not allow FTP connections, your download might fail.

Official IRC Channel - #reddit-sysadmin on Official Discord -. And the only thing mentioned in the release notes of the version after this one is this security fix: Problems Fixed: While HP ProLiant servers using impacted Intel processors are not vulnerable to the specific attack announced publicly at the Blackhat USA 2015 security conference, this BIOS update includes updated microcodes from Intel which prevent the possibility of exploiting the processor vulnerability that make the attack possible with Intel Xeon 5200-series and Intel Xeon 5400-series processors.

This Intel processor vulnerability is NOT unique to HP ProLiant servers. You realize those servers are like 10 years old? They should in no way be running anything important, in fact they're not even worth the electricity they cost to run anymore for a test/mess around environment. If you want the latest SP73052.exe from Oct 2015 you're definitely out of luck unless someone kind will share the file with you. If you need an older one, you can extract cp015225.exe (July 2011) from the 10.10 firmware dvd that can be downloaded from HPE.

You might find a copy of that file on some other downloadable DVD from HP, but I've already spent far to long looking at this. We have 8 DL380p G8's that run our Oracle EBS and Agile production and dev enviroments. Their support ends in Dec. Management has decided that a CarePack is akin to insurance and have weighed the risks and have chosen not to upgrade or carry a CarePack on these servers. The reason I say this?

Last time they made this decision we ran our Oracle environment on an HP 9000 RISC without support for far to many years. So yeah, the issue is when IT doesn't have a budget and each purchase is approved by a panel. A relevant story: 1 year ago we had 5 of these boxes still running. Nothing critical, mind you. We decided to abide by the idiotic requests from the dev teams and their managers to keep them running as long as they could. We made sure to be completely clear that there is ZERO support and if one fails, it's going to e-cycling. We even offered to help migrate to our cloud services.

Fast forward to today and these dev teams had a nightmare on their hands when the previous 4 eventually failed. They now face a failing sharepoing/SQL server (the final blade) and still haven't migrated their KB after repeated warnings. Moral of the story: A low-end new or refurbished box will out-perform, is more energy efficient and has a warranty. Spend the $2-3k. You'll make a lot of it back in electricity/cooling.

Not to mention the headache medication and bourbon costs.
