Deploying software using the ProLiant Support Pack (PSP) for Microsoft Windows The HP SUM utility delivered with the Windows PSP enables you to deploy software components from a single, easy-to-use interface for ProLiant server and options. This utility enables legacy support of existing software and firmware 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 verifies dependencies, installing only the correct updates for optimal configuration. Users can now deploy the components simultaneously for ProLiant servers and options. For more information about simultaneous deployment, see "Deploying firmware and software simultaneously (on page 91)". For more information about PSP, see the HP ProLiant Support Pack for Windows and Linux User Guide on the HP website (http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DocumentIndex.jsp?contentType=SupportManu al&lang=en&cc=us&docIndexId=64179&taskId=101&prodTypeId=18964&prodSeriesId=345557). 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 Introduction 15
