Beginning in 2014, HP will periodically release a new type of Support Pack for ProLiant (SPP) called an "SPP Maintenance Release". This will not be a full SPP, but will consist of components released since the previous version of SPP. The Maintenance release can only be used with the latest version of the SPP that was released prior to the maintenance release.
To use a SPP Maintenance Release with Insight Control server provisioning:
-
Since the maintenance release must be applied to the latest full SPP, be sure the latest full SPP is on your Media Server in the appropriate directory and installs properly with existing Build Plans.
-
In preparation for applying the maintenance release, either rename or make a copy of the full SPP directory. We recommend that the new directory name be in a similar format to that of the existing SPP so that the new directory will be sorted properly. For example, a typical SPP has a name like
2014.02.0, so a good name for a maintenance release delivered in April of 2014 would be2014.04.0-maintenance. -
Go to
hp.comand download the SPP maintenance release. The maintenance release will be in the form of a zip or 7-zip file. -
Unzip the maintenance release into the
hp/swpackagesdirectory of the newly created maintenance release directory (for example,2014.04.0-maintenance/hp/swpackages). When you are done, the maintenance release will be merged with the full SPP on your Media Server. -
Run the SPP Build Plan with either the
--version=latestoption or with the new version explicitly specified.
