hpe-system-gen

The access token needed to download system firmware from HPE

This tracks the generation of HPE ProLiant gear that the running system is. We do this because HPE organizes their tooling and firmware updates according to the system generation.

Current known generations are:

  • g7
  • gen8
  • gen9
  • gen10
  • gen11

Generation will be determined automatically using the following code:

dmidecode |gawk 'match($0, /Product Name:.* ([Gg]7|[Gg]en[0-9]+)/, m) { print tolower(m[1]); exit}'
