2 Operating System Support for the HPE ProLiant BladeSystem portfolio is frozen starting from Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) Version 2021.10.0, released in October 2021. Starting with March 2022 MSB, there will be no updated firmware nor driver releases across the ProLiant BladeSystem platform. HPE will not be testing new operating systems nor validating existing OS support with newer SPP or MSBs. No updated firmware nor driver releases later than SPP version 2021.10.0 may be applied on HPE ProLiant BladeSystem products.

HPE will make best efforts to resolve issues and defects as follows:
  • HPE will triage critical defects and critical security issues and work to identify root cause
  • Components within HPE control (e.g., iLO, bios, etc.) will continue to be prioritized
  • If possible, HPE will attempt to fix these defects and security issues but cannot guarantee the ability to do so
  • This applies only to supported OS versions and FW levels as of 2021.10.0 SPP
