Installing the HP ProLiant Support Pack on Windows systems for the first time
For Windows systems, install the latest HP ProLiant Support Pack with the preconfigured components to all
managed systems using the HP Systems Insight Manager feature Initial HP ProLiant Support Pack Install.
When you are installing the HP ProLiant Support Pack for the first time, the Initial HP ProLiant Support Pack
Install process enables you to install a HP ProLiant Support Pack to a Windows system because you do not
have any HP Insight Management Agents, especially HP Version Control Agent, installed. This process also
configures the system to use the trust certificate from HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) and the setting
to use the desired HP Version Control Repository Manager. After you have run the Initial HP ProLiant Support
Pack Install tool, you can use the Install Software and Firmware tool to update systems.
NOTE:
Installing the VCRM is not part of this procedure because it is generally installed during the HP SIM
installation. If you chose not to install a VCRM during installation, you see the
HP Version Control Installation
Guide at
for
more information about installing and configuring the VCRM.
The Install Software and Firmware feature in HP Systems Insight Manager requires that the HP Version Control
Repository Manager be installed on servers containing a repository.
NOTE:
You must have Windows administrator privileges on target systems to install a HP ProLiant Support
Pack.
NOTE:
The Install Software and Firmware and VCA features are only available after the Initial HP ProLiant
Support Pack Install process has been run.
NOTE:
For more information regarding HP ProLiant Support Packs, see the
HP ProLiant Support Pack and
Deployment Utilities User Guide at
