HP Integrity rx4640 Server - Manual (Page 12)

Deploying Integrity Support Packs in Microsoft Windows
4. Deploy the ISP, using a deployment tool such as the Remote Deployment Utility for
Windows or the Remote Deployment Console Utility for Windows.
NOTE: Smart Components can also be installed individually. For more information, refer to the
“Installing Single Components” section in this chapter.
Minimum Requirements for Windows Servers
IMPORTANT: Before deploying software updates on a target system, be sure that a recent backup of
the target system is available in the event the deployment procedure fails.
For successful component deployments on Windows-based target systems, the following
minimum requirements must be met:
•
A local administrative system with Windows Server 2003 must be available.
•
One or more remote target servers running Windows Server 2003 in need of a software
upgrade must be available. If the local administrative system is the only server that must
be upgraded, remote target servers are not necessary.
•
Sufficient hard drive space must be available on the target system. As a standard practice,
sufficient hard drive space equals at least twice the file size of the ISP or individual
components to be deployed.
•
All remote target servers must be connected to the same network and use TCP/IP to
enable the systems to be seen from the administrative system.
•
There must be an account with administrator privileges on each target server. It is
recommended that the user name and password for the administrator account on each
target server are the same as on the local administrative system. If administrator
privileges are not set up in this way, you must have the user name and password for
each remote server.
Alternatively, you can use a domain account on the local administrative system that has
administrator privileges on the target servers.
To run the Remote Deployment Utility, the local administrative system must be running:
•
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or later
•
Microsoft XML Parser 3.0 or later
NOTE: If you obtain the Support Pack from a Smart Setup CD, a Software Maintenance CD, or the
HP website, the appropriate version of the Microsoft XML Parser is stored in the
msxml3.cab
file. The Remote Deployment Utility automatically installs the parser if it is not currently present on
your system. A supported version of the Microsoft XML Parser is also available as part of Internet
Explorer 6.0.
