Deployment scenarios
HP SUM deploys firmware and software smart components and Linux RPMs on a local host or one or
more remote hosts. The remote hosts must be online and running the same operating system as the system
running HP SUM. For example, when the remote hosts are running Linux, HP SUM must also be running
on a Linux operating system.
The following table describes typical HP SUM deployment scenarios.
