Software and configuration utilities 79
If you do not use Intelligent Provisioning to install an OS, then drivers for some of the new hardware are
required. These drivers, as well as other option drivers, ROM images, and systems software can be
downloaded as part of an SPP.
If you are installing drivers from SPP, be sure that you are using the latest SPP version that your node supports.
To verify that your node is using the latest supported version and for more information about SPP, see the HP
website (http://www.hp.com/go/spp/download).
To locate the drivers for a particular server, go to the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/hpsc) and click
on Drivers, Software & Firmware. Then, enter your product name in the Find an HP product field and click
Go.
Software and firmware
Software and firmware should be updated before using the server for the first time, unless any installed
software or components require an older version.
For system software and firmware updates, use one of the following sources:
• Download the SPP ("HP Service Pack for ProLiant" on page 74) from the HP Service Pack for ProLiant
download page (http://www.hp.com/go/spp).
• Download individual drivers, firmware, or other systems software components from the node product
page in the HP Support Center (http://www.hp.com/go/hpsc).
Version control
The VCRM and VCA are web-enabled Insight Management Agents tools that HP SIM uses to schedule
software update tasks to the entire enterprise.
• VCRM manages the repository for SPP. Administrators can view the SPP contents or configure VCRM to
automatically update the repository with internet downloads of the latest software and firmware from
HP.
• VCA compares installed software versions on the node with updates available in the VCRM managed
repository. Administrators configure VCA to point to a repository managed by VCRM.
For more information about version control tools, see the HP Systems Insight Manager User Guide, the HP
Version Control Agent User Guide, and the HP Version Control Repository User Guide on the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim).
HP operating systems and virtualization software support for
ProLiant servers
For information about specific versions of a supported operating system, see the HP website
