5 Deploying firmware and software updates manually
In addition to the catalog, it is possible to deploy firmware and software updates using an SCCM
Software Distribution package. There are several ways to create and use a Software Distribution
package.
To deploy HP firmware and software to a managed ProLiant server while minimizing network
bandwidth:

Create a folder on the SCCM primary site server.
2. Copy all of the required HP SUM files into the folder. These files can be copied from any SPP
or Windows PSP.
3. Copy any Windows smart component (cp*.exe) files into the folder. The components can
be copied from any SPP, Windows PSP, or Firmware Maintenance DVD.
4. In the folder, create a file named install.cmd with the following contents:
pushd %~dp0
hpsum /silent /allow_non_bundle_components /use_latest
if errorlevel 4 exit 1
if errorlevel 3 exit 0
if errorlevel 2 exit 1
if errorlevel 1 exit 0
if errorlevel 0 exit 0
exit 1

→Install Software. Set the Package field to the package
created in Step 5 .
