logeox Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Can I use the SPP10 iso on a Microgen8? It seems to be the only iso I can get without an agreement as im upgrading my OS to 2012R2 so I can add max memory. "This solution uses Smart Update Manager (SUM) as the deployment tool and is tested on all HPE ProLiant Gen10 and LATER servers as defined in the Service Pack for ProLiant Server Support Guide found at www.hpe.com/servers/spp/documentation." https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=MTX_d1f232bbe34b44f797a95b298c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schoondoggy Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I don't think there is anything in that SPP for the Gen8. The latest BIOS for the MS Gen8 is available without entitlement, as it included fixes for CPU vulnerabilities. You may need to login to your HPE account to download. All of the other firmware and drivers you need are available without entitlement. https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=MTX_71b9ad7e388d434fb62f7542e3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate 2012R2 is ancient! Upgrade to Server 2019. Just use the official Microsoft ISO and run the upgrade or fresh install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice, but I mainly store files, music and photos on there. Second purpose is its my NVR as well. I would like to add DNS options and a few more things. Had to move past home version to get the full max memory possible. This copy only cost me $50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madpatrick Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 You can move over to a Linux server, if the costing is an issue. Often lighter than M$ and faster. There a lot of free options. I'm using for example ClearOS for years and is very stable with all packages you need. Also easy to install and maintain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKChris Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Out of interest what is the max ram you can fit, I was always under the impression it was 16Gb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
