HP SUM User Interface 18
• Name—This field displays the repository name. Select the repositories you want to use by checking the
box next to the repository name. If you want to edit a repository, highlight the entire line to activate the
Edit and Remove buttons.
o HP SUM automatically creates a repository named Default. This repository is the folder that holds the
HP SUM application.
o The HP FTP site ( ftp://ftp.hp.com ) contains the latest versions of the firmware and software
components available from HP. The components are available for selection on the Review/Install
Updates Screen. When using this method, both firmware and software components are available
for selection. The components are not downloaded from ftp.hp.com site to a target until the Install
button is selected, unless the component is needed to discover supported devices. If components are
needed for discovery, then you are prompted to allow this action. The ftp.hp.com checkbox is
cleared by default. To pull updates from the web, select the ftp.hp.com checkbox. If HP SUM has
downloaded a component, HP SUM does not download it again. This repository cannot be edited
except to set the repository filter.
o Use the last downloaded repository from the HP FTP site ( ftp://ftp.hp.com )—This option includes the
components that have been previously downloaded from the ftp.hp.com site. The location for the
previously downloaded components is the %TEMP%\hp_sum\ directory. To use components
downloaded from the HP website, select this checkbox. The repository cannot be edited.
• Location—This field displays the location of the repository. The repository path cannot be edited.
o Additional—This field displays more information, or links to functions. It is used for setting proxy
server settings to access ftp://ftp.hp.com.
• Addition Information—This field provides more information about the bundle. Click Proxy Options in
this field to change proxy settings for your network.
• Status—This field allows you to view the repository's contents, and displays whether you need to
configure any components in the repository.
o Click Repository Contents to view the contents of the chosen repository and their version number.
o Click Configure Components to select components to configure. This option is available only for a
local repository with components that require configuration.
NOTE: The check box by the repository name controls whether a repository is used in updates;
it does not select the row for editing or removal.
