Deployment from HP SUM
The following sections discuss deployment from HP SUM.
Executing HP SUM
HP SUM provides three modes of execution for users:
• GUI—For firmware and software deployments
• Express—For software deployments only (local host only)
• Scripted—For silent firmware and software deployments
HP SUM supports local and remote deployments. HP SUM runs in standard Windows and Linux operating
systems in online and offline mode (available on HP Smart Update Firmware DVD) through special boot
environments based on Linux boot kernels when the prerequisites are met.
Use the following table to determine the correct execution mode for the server use case.
IMPORTANT: Before deploying software updates to a target server, be sure that a recent backup
of the target server is available in the event the deployment procedure fails.
