Deploying firmware and software simultaneously
This topic applies to ProLiant servers and options supported by the server, but does not apply to Integrity
servers.
HP SUM utility enables you to deploy firmware and software components simultaneously. The latest firmware
and software components must be located in the same directory.
To deploy firmware and software components simultaneously, select the location where the firmware and
software components are located in the Source Selections screen. On the Select Bundle Filter screen, select
the bundle, and then select the ALLOW NON-BUNDLE PRODUCTS option.
To proceed with the deployment process, click OK. The Select Items to be Installed ("
Selecting components to
install " on page 35 ) screen appears with the appropriate firmware and software components.
With the ability to get components from ftp.hp.com ( ftp://ftp.hp.com ), you can deploy software and
firmware components without using bundles.
NOTE: Linux RPMs are not available for download from ftp.hp.com using HP SUM at this time.
NOTE: HP Smart Update Manager is compatible with various types of HP bundles.

Server virtualization detection and support
HP SUM, running in the context of a Windows® PSP or ISP, supports server virtualization that runs on a
Windows® host. However, HP SUM, running in the context of a Windows® PSP, does not run on a VMware
host or on a guest operating system environment regardless of what host hypervisor you use.
HP SUM, running in the context of the HP Smart Update Firmware DVD, does not support server virtualization
that runs on a Windows® or Linux host and blocks attempts to install firmware from a guest or child virtual
machine. The server virtualization does not run on a VMware host or on a guest operating system
environment regardless of which host hypervisor you use. The HP Smart Update Firmware DVD does not boot
to a guest operating system environment.
Configuring IPv6 networks with HP Smart Update
Manager
Starting with HP Smart Update Manager version 3.2.0, you can deploy to remote targets in IPv6-based
networks for Windows® and Linux target servers. Using HP Smart Update Manager with IPv6 networks
presents challenges for IT administrators.
For Windows®-based servers, to communicate with remote target servers, HP Smart Update Manager uses
either existing credentials or user-provided user name and password to connect to the admin$ share. This
share is an automatic share provided by Windows Server®. After HP Smart Update Manager connects to the
