6 Installing HP SMH using HPSUM The HP Smart Update Manager (HPSUM) utility enables you to deploy ProLiant or Integrity Support Pack software and firmware components from a single, easy-to-use graphical user interface. The utility enables you to deploy and maintain ProLiant or Integrity Support Pack and Smart Components on a local server or one or more remote servers. This utility enables legacy support of existing software and firmware components while simplifying the overall deployment process. The utility also provides installation logic and version control that automatically check for dependencies, installing only the correct updates for optimal configuration. ProLiant or Integrity Support Pack contains numerous files. All files must be present in the same directory as the HPSUM.EXE program for the PSP or ISP to be properly installed. You can install HP SMH as a part of the complete ProLiant or Integrity Support Pack, or you can install the HP SMH component individually. The HP SMH component also provides support for preconfiguration, which enables you to configure and save the configuration as part of the component itself before installing on target machines. NOTE: Installation of a preconfigured component overwrites the configuration settings of an existing HP SMH installation. If you want to retain existing settings, do not preconfigure the component. Installing HP SMH remotely on a Windows operating system using HPSUM 1. To start the deployment, run HPSUM.EXE. The Inventory Progress screen appears while the HPSUM builds an inventory of available updates. The Select Installation Host(s) screen appears when the inventory process is complete. 2. If you want to install HP SMH on the local server, check the Local Host checkbox and click Next. 3. If you want to install HP SMH on remote servers: a. Select the Remote Host or Group checkbox and click Manage Host. The Manage Host panel appears. b. Click Add Host. You can add new hosts by DNS name or IP address, or you can add a range of IP addresses. c. You can also create a group of systems on which you want to install HP SMH by selecting Manage Groups. Note: If you chose to Manage Groups, you will need to give the Windows credentials for each remote server. 4. Select the target server and click Next. A Discovery Progress screen appears while the system checks for installed items. Then, the Select Bundle Filter page appears. 5. From the Select Bundle Filter page, select the appropriate PSP or ISP bundle, according to the target server operating system architecture (either x86 or x64), and select the appropriate option for the bundle filter. These options appear: • Allow Non-Bundle Version Shows other versions of the product that are in the bundle. This enables you to include updates newer than those released in the bundle. • Allow Non-Bundle Products Shows updates for products that are not part of the bundle. This option enables you to update other items on your system at the same time as applying the bundle (as a convenience or because updates in the bundle might depend on them). • Force All Bundle Updates Automatically sets the force flag for updates in the bundle. This option enables you to update the installation as long as the supported hardware is present and installation conditions are met. Note: You do not need to select the bundle filter option when you install the HP SMH component alone. 6. Click Next. The Select Items to be installed panel appears. This panel shows the components to be installed or displays Installation not needed or Excluded by filtering. 7. Check the HP SMH component, and you can preconfigure the HP SMH component by selecting Configure Now. Note: If PSP or ISP contains an older version of HP SMH than what is installed on the target server, the HP SMH component is listed under the Installation not needed section.
