Obtaining the latest HP manifest catalog

During installation, the setup wizard can obtain the latest HP manifest catalog from either the HP website

or a network shared folder:

For SMS site servers with access to the Internet, see "SMS site server with an FTP connection (on

page

23

)" for instructions on downloading the HP manifest catalog from the HP website.

For SMS site servers without access to the Internet, see "SMS site server without an FTP connection

(on page

23

)" for instructions on downloading the HP manifest catalog from a network shared

folder.

The sync tool can also be used to download the latest HP manifest catalog after the inventory tool is

installed. See "Obtaining the HP manifest catalog with the sync tool (on page

24

)" for more information.

IMPORTANT: If the inventory tool is configured to use a network share during installation, components

updated with DSUW will also be obtained from network share. Components will be obtained from the HP

FTP site if the tool is configured to use FTP during setup. See "Switching between internet and network share

to obtain HP catalog and components ("

SMS site server with an FTP connection

If the SMS site server has an FTP connection, HP recommends using the setup wizard to download the

latest HP manifest catalog from the HP website.
The SMS environment might use a proxy that requires authentication to access the Internet. Be sure to run

the setup wizard using an account that has the following characteristics:

Access to the Internet

SMS administrative permissions (SMS admins group)

Local administrative permissions (Local administrators group)

Also, be sure to verify that your network access, including firewalls or proxy servers are setup to allow

active FTP access.
See "Access rights (on page

38

)" for more information on setting up Internet connections.

SMS site server without an FTP connection

If the SMS site server does not have an FTP connection, the HP manifest catalog and all component files

must be provided on a local network share.
In this case, the setup wizard downloads the HP manifest catalog from the network shared folder. Before

running the setup wizard, be sure the selected network shared folder contains the latest HP manifest

catalog and individual components.
After the sync tool is configured to obtain the HP manifest catalog and individual components from the

network shared folder, you must verify that the share is regularly updated with the latest manifest catalog

to ensure information in the SMS site server is current.
To download the HP manifest catalog and individual components to a network shared folder:
