Deploying PSPs 10
With HP SUM version 3.2.0 and later, the storage location for the persistent data (Hosts and Groups) has
changed. Persistent data entered with earlier versions of HP SUM is automatically moved to a new
location the first time you run HP SUM version 3.2.0 and later. Then, the data no longer exists for use
with earlier versions of HP SUM. This process occurs only once. If an earlier version of HP SUM is run
after the persistent data is moved, and new persistent data is entered, then the persistent data is not
moved to the new storage location when you run HP SUM version 3.2.0 and later.
For more information about HP SUM utility see the HP Smart Update Manager User Guide.
