Update all firmware on HP DL380 G5 server

Solution 1:

The firmware for that server is located on HP's website.

Here's where to get it.

Don't assume that a system this old has any recent firmware updates.

Here's your BIOS download.

Here's your ILO download.

Here's your RAID controller download.

Solution 2:

It would make sense to not make firmware changes unless it is absolutely required, for example you are hitting a boot time bug or incorrect fan operation or cpu is being throttled. Or in extreme cases if there is a known vulnerability against the firmware version. Botched firmware update can render the machine unusable and you will unnecessarily lose its functional benefit.

Keep in mind, this is no ncix or newegg or something similar from where you can source a replacement part as you could for a consumer desktop/laptop :)
