Updated HP Management Packs

I was about to install the HP MPs but thought that I would check and found that there are new versions on the HP site since my last download but there are no dates on the web site. The new versions are 1.2 for Proliant and 1.7 for Blade Systems.

The Blade MP was dated 24th Nov 08 after unzipping and the Proliant was 19th Dec 08. I did not see any announcements of these and the MP Catalog is still showing the previous versions dated March 2008.

Why isn’t the catalog updated? Is it Microsoft’s responsibility or is it up to HP to tell Microsoft? Either way someone needs to take responsibility as these MPs are months old.

    The official MS Operations Manager 2007 catalog still shows only v1.1 & v1.6 being available. Nice.

    Changes from v1.2 for the ProLiant pack are:
