Deploying PSPs 12
NOTE:
When building source RPMs into binary RPMs and deploying them to remote targets,
HP SUM validates the target operating system and kernel matches the local kernel on which
the source RPM is being built. To bypass this verification process, you can build source RPMs
into binary RPMs and add them to the location where HP SUM is started. These pre-built RPMs
can be deployed to any target regardless of the installed kernel version. Before deploying the
RPM in a production environment, HP recommends testing the RPMs on a non-production
server running the targeted kernel.
Minimum requirements for Linux servers
IMPORTANT:
Before deploying software updates on a target system, be sure that a recent
backup of the target system is available in the event the deployment procedure fails.
PSP installation for Linux servers has the following minimum requirements:
