I run Ubuntu Linux and need to get the VT instructions enabled so that I can run do some work with Virtualbox. I am having a similar problem with my DL160 G5.
[I did a Google search on "proliant dl160 g5 bios update," searched for DR-DOS updates, and the FW update that was "entitled" had a link to the previous version, which was free-and marked "critical". The free FW update can be found at this HP location (at least on Pi Day 2015, 3/14/15). 15 minutes later I was able to enable the Virtualzation features on the CPU. After wasting an hour trying to get the USB Stick method to work, I used their CDROM method and burned a disk from the provided ISO. However, the previous version, 2010.10.25 (A), was available. You'll make a lot of it back in electricity/cooling.** Update: I was not able to get the latest FW as the current (and last) version, 2010.11.17 (A), requires a service contract. Moral of the story: A low-end new or refurbished box will out-perform, is more energy efficient and has a warranty. They now face a failing sharepoing/SQL server (the final blade) and still haven't migrated their KB after repeated warnings. We even offered to help migrate to our cloud services.įast forward to today and these dev teams had a nightmare on their hands when the previous 4 eventually failed. We made sure to be completely clear that there is ZERO support and if one fails, it's going to e-cycling. We decided to abide by the idiotic requests from the dev teams and their managers to keep them running as long as they could. A relevant story: 1 year ago we had 5 of these boxes still running.
So yeah, the issue is when IT doesn't have a budget and each purchase is approved by a panel. The reason I say this? Last time they made this decision we ran our Oracle environment on an HP 9000 RISC without support for far to many years.

You might find a copy of that file on some other downloadable DVD from HP, but I've already spent far to long looking at this. If you need an older one, you can extract cp015225.exe (July 2011) from the 10.10 firmware dvd that can be downloaded from HPE. If you want the latest SP73052.exe from Oct 2015 you're definitely out of luck unless someone kind will share the file with you. You realize those servers are like 10 years old? They should in no way be running anything important, in fact they're not even worth the electricity they cost to run anymore for a test/mess around environment. This Intel processor vulnerability is NOT unique to HP ProLiant servers And the only thing mentioned in the release notes of the version after this one is this security fix: Problems Fixed: While HP ProLiant servers using impacted Intel processors are not vulnerable to the specific attack announced publicly at the Blackhat USA 2015 security conference, this BIOS update includes updated microcodes from Intel which prevent the possibility of exploiting the processor vulnerability that make the attack possible with Intel Xeon 5200-series and Intel Xeon 5400-series processors.
