HP Service Pack for ProLiant
HP Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) and HP Smart Update Manager (HP SUM) version 5 provide a new, comprehensive approach to firmware and system software maintenance. Together they provide better operating stability and ensure maximum uptime. The SPP will be updated at a predictable cadence, typically coinciding with new HP server hardware launches. By enabling firmware to be updated online and integrating firmware and system software updates in one operation HP SUM and the SPP offer faster updates of individual servers and dramatically faster updates of entire BladeSystem enclosures. Further improving system uptime and stability is the fact that HP provides 12 months of support on each Service Pack for ProLiant.
The user experience around HP SUM and the SPP has been improved in several ways, starting with the web download. A single web page provides access to a single download containing both the latest version of HP SUM version 5 and
QuickSpecs

the latest SPP. Optional smaller subsets with only specific types of servers or specific operating systems are offered to save on download time. The HP SUM application has been re-written to provide a more straightforward, intuitive user interface that guides the user through the steps of discovery, analyses and update, providing comprehensive information on available updates, criticality and interdependencies. This information is also available in reports. By providing the option of multiple local or shared repositories which can be easily updated from hp.com, HP SUM provides the tools to optimize stability and consistency throughout the company. While HP SUM and the SPP will recommend the combinations of firmware and system software that HP has found to be the best practice, the application gives customers the flexibility to set their own specific baseline.
The Service Pack for ProLiant has been rigorously tested with specific attention for interaction between firmware, drivers and agents both within the server as well as in interaction with the BladeSystem enclosure components (Onboard Administrator and Virtual Connect). This testing ensures the highest quality as well as providing the input for HP SUM to deploy updates taking into account all interdepencies, when determining the correct updates and order of update deployment.
The Service Pack for ProLiant (which includes HP SUM 5) can be downloaded from

and

HP Insight Foundation
Insight Foundation is being baselined at version v8.70 which means the following:
Its Media Kit (contains 2 SmartStart CDs, the Firmware DVD, and the Management DVD) will continue to ship with all supported ProLiant G7 or earlier BTO servers until the last supported server is no longer shipping. The Media Kit will not be updated past version 8.70. ProLiant G7 or earlier CTO servers are able to order the Media Kit with the understanding that the media is not updated. Please check specific server QuickSpecs for availability of CTO Kit. PSP and Firmware DVD downloads will be updated through 2Q 2012 at the HP Insight Foundation Suite for ProLiant downloads tab:

Memory
HP Memory Quarantine (based on Intel MCA Recovery technology). In conjunction with the operating system support, allows a server to recover from uncorrectable memory errors which would have otherwise caused a system crash. Double Device Data Correction (DDDC). DDDC provides the ability to save a DIMM from being replaced due to a bad dram device. Data Bus ECC protection for automatic correction from a single data bit error and detection of double data error bits. Advanced ECC / SDDC provides continued memory operation in the event of a single memory device failure and allows removal of a single DRAM from the memory map if it exhibits a failure and recovers its data into a new device.
Supports for both x4 and x8 Intel® SDDC. Demand Scrubbing writes corrected data back to the memory once a correctable error is detected on a read transaction. DIMM Address/Control Bus Parity Protection provides a means to detect and protect command and address errors. Memory Failover uses a mirrored DIMM once a failed DIMM in a mirrored set is detected. Memory Mirroring provides a copy of memory stored with dynamic failover in case of failure within socket (intra-socket) memory mirroring.
The system will operate in non-hemisphere mode when mirroring is enabled. Rank Sparring (On Line Spare) provides dynamic failover to a spare DIMM rank or spare rank pair behind the same memory controller. Cannot be enabled concurrently with memory mirroring.
NOTE:
HP offers the rank sparing rather than DIMM sparing as rank sparing uses less spare memory resulting in less overhead.
Failed DIMM Isolation identifies a specific failing DIMM lockstep pair thereby enabling the user to replace only the failed DIMM pair. Identifies a single DIMM for correctable errors and DIMM pair for uncorrectable errors.
Virtualization
Intel® VT-x (FlexMigration, FlexPriority, and Extended Page Tables) provides:
Platform control between the VMM and guest OSs for faster, more reliable and secure

transfers. VM migration features that enhance flexibility for failover, load balancing, disaster recovery, and maintenance.
Intel® VT-x Real Mode & Pause Loop Exiting:
Real Mode allows guests to operate in real mode, removing the performance overhead and complexity of an emulator. Pause Loop Exiting provides detection of spin locks in guest software and helps avoid lock-
holder preemption to reduce overhead and improve performance Intel® VT-d (Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O) enables the VMM to assign specific I/O devices to specific guest OSs improving security and availability.
Mezzanine options and I/O
Optional dual-port Fibre Channel mezzanine cards for redundant SAN connections. Optional dual-port InfiniBand mezzanine cards for redundant high performance connections. Six embedded Ethernet adapter ports for redundant LAN connections. Multiple mezzanine I/O expansion slots each supported multiple data paths routed to redundant interconnect modules. Network Adapter Teaming (Bonding) provides network fault tolerance, transmit load balancing, and switch-assisted load balancing.
Processor/Chipset
Processor Internal Sensors & Thermal Control protection against over-temperature conditions. Cache parity/ECC protects cache data from accidental data corruption due to particle hits. Machine Check Architecture (MCA) detects and captures hardware errors such as system bus, ECC, parity, cache, other. Enhanced MCA handling & error logging builds upon the original Machine Check Architecture to: offers more "banks" and increased "resolution" for reporting errors that cause MCA events and 2) sets check flags for the OS to poll. External Bus Error Recovery (ECC) enables automatic correction from a single data bit error and detection of double data error bits on the memory data bus. Corrupt Data Containment tags faulty data before it is consumed (often called data poisoning) to limit the impact to the currently running program and to greatly reduce the need to reset the system. On-Die Error Protection protects registers from particle hits.
Storage
Four hot-plug SAS/SATA/SSD drive bays. Integrated HP Smart Array P410i Controller with RAID 0 and 1 standard; optional RAID 1+0, 5, and 6. Integrated HP Smart Array P410i Controller upgradeable firmware with recovery ROM capability. HP Smart Array P410i flash backed write cache (FBWC) options to 1GB. Optional multiple Smart Array RAID mezzanine controllers (with BBWC and FBWC) for direct attach and shared SAS storage external to the c-Class enclosure.
Intel® QuickPath Interconnect
(QPI)
QPI Link Retry restarts as cycle when a failure is detected on the link. QPI Clock Failover redirects the forwarded clock to one of the two failover clock lanes in the event of a forwarded clock failure. QPI Self-Healing enables a QPI link to map a failed lane and downshift from full to ½ width (or ½

width to ¼ width) QPI link if there are errors on the link. QPI Cycle Redundancy Checking (CRC) automatically detects data errors using a checksum of either 8 bits or 16 bits. QPI Poisoning tags an erroneous packet with a "poisoned bit" on the QPI fabric. QPI Lane Failover identifies a faulty lane within data paths removing them from operation reducing command/address errors.
Server Blade Enclosure Infrastructure
Up to 10 hot-plug redundant Active Cool fans per enclosure. Up to 6 hot-plug high efficiency redundant power supplies per enclosure. Dual grid power providing redundant rack enclosure power feeds to the enclosure. Up to eight interconnect modules per enclosure providing four simultaneous redundant fabrics for FlexFabric, Virtual Connect Ethernet, Fibre Channel, InfiniBand, iSCSI, SAS, etc. Optional enclosure redundant Onboard Administrator system management module.
