Install the service on all computing resources. 2. Create the HP SAM registration service configuration file (hpevent.cfg) on a single blade and save this file as a template to use later. 3. Start or restart service on a single computing resource and verify that the computing resource self- registered into the HP SAM Web server. 4. Deploy the HP SAM registration service configuration file (hpevent.cfg) to all appropriate computing resources and start the service on those units. Deploy HP SAM Client Software to All HP SAM Access Devices To deploy the HP SAM Internet Explorer-based client, instruct your users to go to the HP SAM server Web site(s) that you have set up. 26 Chapter 2 Installation

Deploying the HP SAM Client Application

Various methods are available to deploy the client application to multiple access devices. Following are

two examples:

●

Use software deployment tools like HP Rapid Deployment Pack.

Install the client application (

scw32-xx ##.msi

), where xx is the language code and ## is the

software version number.

Update the client configuration file to work with HP SAM (see customization steps above).

●

Post the

scw32-xx ##.msi

and

hprdc.sam

file on a Web site or fileshare, and then instruct the

users to:

Download and install the client software (

scw32-xx ##.msi

Place the config file (

hprdc.sam

) on the desktop. Double-click the HP SAM icon to start the

client.

NOTE:

If a firewall is installed, make appropriate changes to allow the HP SAM client through. Do this

at the application level instead of the port.

Deploy the HP SAM Registration Service to All HP SAM

Computing Resources

For high volume deployment, HP highly recommends that you use a software tool such as HP Rapid

Deployment Pack.

Install the service on all computing resources.

Create the HP SAM registration service configuration file (hpevent.cfg) on a single blade and save

this file as a template to use later.

Start or restart service on a single computing resource and verify that the computing resource self-

registered into the HP SAM Web server.

Deploy the HP SAM registration service configuration file (hpevent.cfg) to all appropriate computing

resources and start the service on those units.

Deploy HP SAM Client Software to All HP SAM Access

Devices

To deploy the HP SAM Internet Explorer-based client, instruct your users to go to the HP SAM server

Web site(s) that you have set up.
