| FAO: Sysadmins... HP servers.. Goodafternoon peoples.. Todays enterprise IT related question is this: As regards to servers.. mainly HP proliants, but i guess the same will apply to the other major vendor machines... Do you have a policy about keeping the server support software up to date (the proliant support pack in HPs case?) im just looking thru our infrastructure here and we have v7.40-v8.10 and everything inbetween. Im having to upgrade the sub 7.60 ones because the HP management pack for ops mgr requires at least 7.60.. but it makes me wonder if as a company we should make an effort to keep all servers up to date? Thanks in advance.

| Re: FAO: Sysadmins... HP servers.. My policy is "wait till I need the newer version , then upgrade". It's something that it's a good idea to do , but if your place is anything like mine I doubt there's much slack time to fit it in. I'd do the ones that need doing , then see what else crops up that day before deciding on the others

| Re: FAO: Sysadmins... HP servers.. I havent done anything with ours since I did the initial setup, like you its a mixture of versions. The only thing I keep up with are MS updates, everything else I leave.
