      (stolen from homelab, might help you in the future)

      Individual firmware, ILO and Intelligent Provisioning downloads for HPE servers can be found at https://support.hpe.com:

      1. Search for your machine type - for instance dl380p.
      2. Click on first result representing the correct machine to “select your product”.
      3. Click on Drivers&Software and browse the list to find at least one link per firmware/bios/ILO etc. | OS to deploy from.
      4. On the individual firmware pages, click on Revision History to find specific versions.
      5. Linux downloads can be deployed by following the official instructions for scexe or in case of rpm by unpacking those first with rpm2cpio (search online for more detailed instructions).

      GEN 8: All latest versions available!

      GEN 9: Only “Critical” versions available!

      (see step 4. on how to find them easily)

      note: on gen 9 Intelligent Provisioning can sometimes pull firmware newer than “critical” but only up to its own release date.

        Thanks for that, at the time I wanted the SPP to update everything conveniently though, and they don’t provide that. I don’t remember if I could’ve updated things one by one, but I found a sketchy download of it eventually.
