Click Add.

Check the activity log to see the status of the baseline.

NOTE:

If the baseline does not appear in the baseline list, make sure there are updates in

the directory.

NOTE:

HP SUM begins to inventory a baseline as soon as you finish adding the baseline. To

minimize the impact on system resources, HP SUM does not recommend adding other baselines
until the baseline inventory process finishes.

Creating a custom baseline

Creating a custom baseline allows you to deploy specific updates, minimize the size of update
baselines or bootable and non-bootable ISOs, and standardize the updates that you deploy to
your environment.

NOTE:

To create a custom bootable ISO, you must have a bootable HP SPP or HP SUM ISO

available in your source baselines.

From the Baseline Library screen, click Actions

→Create Custom.

In the Description text box, enter a description for the baseline. The maximum length for the
description is 50 characters.

In the Version boxes, use the navigation arrows to create a version number, for example
2013.5.21

NOTE:

The Baseline Name is automatically generated by combining the description and

version.

In the Output Location field, click Browse to navigate to a directory where you want to save
the baseline.

NOTE:

HP SUM does not support creating a new directory when it creates the custom

baseline. Create the new directory outside of HP SUM.

NOTE:

Do not save more than one custom baseline in a directory.
