HP SUM User Interface Deployment scenarios HP SUM deploys firmware and software on a local host or one or more remote hosts. Except for Integrity servers, the remote hosts must be online and running the same operating system as the system running HP SUM. For example, when the remote hosts are running Linux, HP SUM must also be running on a Linux operating system. However, this is not true for Integrity servers. Integrity servers can be running HP-UX or other operating systems, and the updates can be performed through iLO or the OA. The following table describes when typical HP SUM deployment scenarios are used. Scenario Used when Graphical deployment on a local host • You are not familiar with command line tools. • You are deploying components on a local, single host. • Updates do not require scripting. Scripted deployment on a local host • You are familiar with command line tools. • You are deploying components on a local, single host. • Updates require a customized, scripted deployment.
