Introduction 15

HP SUM delivered with HP Workstation Support Pack supports the software deployment on Windows for
HP ProLiant WS460c G6 Blade. This support is available for the local host only.

Deploying software using the Integrity Support Pack (ISP) for
Microsoft Windows

The HP SUM utility enables you to deploy Windows ISP software components for HP Integrity Servers from
a single, easy-to-use interface. This utility enables legacy support of existing software components while

simplifying the overall deployment process. You do not have to run the SETUP executable files
SETUPC.EXE, SETUPEX.EXE, and SETUP.EXE, because the HP SUM utility now provides this functionality.

The utility also provides installation logic and version control that automatically check for dependencies,
installing only the correct updates for optimal configuration.

NOTE:

In HP Integrity servers, HP SUM does not support the ability to download the latest

components from ftp.hp.com, as these components are not in the catalog on the HP FTP site.

NOTE:

Use the version of HP SUM that comes with the ISP when deploying the components

that are included in that deliverable.

For more information about ISP implementation by operating system, see the HP Window-on-Integrity

website (

http://www.hp.com/go/windows-on-integrity-docs

), or by server model number, see the HP

Integrity Server site (

http://www.hp.com/go/integrity_servers-docs

).

Deploying software using the ProLiant Support Pack for Linux

Beginning with PSP for Linux 8.40 or later, the HP SUM utility enables you to deploy Linux PSP software
components (RPMs) from a single, easy-to-use interface. The same manageability is present with added

flexibility and more features for added convenience and enhanced functionality. HP SUM provides new
GUI and a command-line, scriptable interface for deployment to target servers. HP SUM discovers and

displays all components that are available for installation on the local system and enables the flexibility to
choose which components to install or not install. Additionally, the HP SUM utility enables software
deployment for multiple HP ProLiant servers from a single GUI.
For more information about PSP, see the HP ProLiant Support Pack for Windows and Linux User Guide on
the HP website

Deploying firmware for ProLiant servers using the HP Smart

Update Firmware DVD

The HP Smart Update Firmware DVD provides a collection of firmware bundles containing HP SUM and
firmware for ProLiant servers in an ISO image that can be used either in offline (either an automatic or
interactive mode), or online (either a scripted or interactive mode). The HP Smart Update Firmware DVD

provides firmware for supported HP ProLiant servers and options. The Firmware DVD contains all the
firmware for the supported HP ProLiant servers including BladeSystem enclosures and Virtual Connect

firmware.

In offline mode, the HP Smart Update Firmware DVD boots a small Linux kernel and enables

firmware updates to occur on a single server using the HP SUM software.
