HP Service Pack for ProLiant
SPP is a release set that contains a comprehensive collection of firmware and system software
components, all tested together as a single solution stack for HP ProLiant servers, their options,
BladeSystem enclosures, and limited HP external storage.
SPP has several key features for updating HP ProLiant servers. Using HP SUM as the deployment
tool, SPP can be used in an offline mode where the server is booted to the ISO so that the server can
be updated automatically with no user interaction or updated in interactive mode.
