3 Using the HP SUM GUI
Using the Home screen
When you launch HP SUM, HP SUM displays the Home screen. From this screen, you can click
Guided Update, Baseline Library, or Nodes. There is also a Get Started button that launches Guided
Update. To navigate to other screens, use the navigation menu in the upper-left corner.
Using the Activity screen
The Activity screen provides a brief update of the activities that HP SUM is performing, or has
recently performed. The table displays the source, message, state, and last update time of an
activity.
Using Guided Update
HP SUM's Guided Update function allows you to update the localhost using the default baseline.
The default baseline is the directory from which you are running HP SUM.
NOTE: If the directory from which you are running HP SUM has no updates, then you cannot
use Guided Update. If there is no default baseline, HP SUM displays a message in the Inventory
of Baseline section.
•
Interactive: In this mode HP SUM uses the default baseline to update the localhost. You can
choose the updates that HP SUM applies to the localhost.
NOTE: HP SUM does not support configuring components in Guided Update.
•
Automatic: In this mode HP SUM automatically updates the localhost and uses the default
baseline.
NOTE: In automatic mode, HP SUM automatically begins updates when you click OK.
