5 Reference

The HP ProLiant Updates Catalog consists of bundles. The bundles provide a simple and convenient
mechanism for deploying firmware and software. The bundle's contents are a portion of the SPP.
The bundle’s version number corresponds to the SPP it was generated from. Inside each bundle
HP SUM is used to install the included firmware or software. The catalog and bundles are updated
whenever a new SPP becomes available. The catalog references only the latest version of each
bundle.

NOTE:

HP recommends using the HP Service Pack for ProLiant DVD for updating infrastructure firmware.

The Windows Server 2003 bundles are identical to the PSP 8.70 and will not be updated.

Refer to the SPP site for details of what firmware and software components are included. Go
to

http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/service_packs/documentation/index.html

.

Refer to the HP Smart Update Manager User Guide for details of its installation logic. In
particular, how it determines which agents to install or update based on the server generation
and what agents are already installed. Go to

http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/

service_packs/documentation/index.html

.The bundles will pass through the HPSUM

/use_snmp

, /use_wmi, and /use_ams parameters to manually control which agents get

installed. These parameters can be added to the bundle's command line in SCUP.

Since the bundles include HPSUM and components from the SPP, they are susceptible to
HPSUM and component issues. Check for any advisories before deploying them.
