Navigate to the \hp\swpackages folder on the mounted directory. 3. To run HP SUM, double-click hpsum.exe and then follow the instructions on the screen. Copying the SPP to a hard drive To deploy SPP components with HP SUM using a hard drive: 1. Copy the contents of the \hp\swpackages directory from the SPP ISO image to a directory on the hard drive where HP SUM will be executed. 2. For Linux, ensure that execute privileges are available by using the chmod 700 * command. 3. Copy any hot fixes into the directory where the files were copied in step 1. If you prefer to keep the hot fix components separate, place them in a separate directory, such as \hp\ hotfixes. 4. Run HP SUM. Adding components to or removing components from an SPP Each SPP contains a set of components that have been tested together. You might want to add or remove a component from the SPP to: • Incorporate a hot fix or newly released component that is not part of the SPP into your SPP baseline. • Ensure that only necessary files are loaded onto the system, which can make tracking changes easier if troubleshooting is required. • Maintain compatibility with third-party products. For example, if HP releases an update to your FC HBA, but the vendor of your external switch does not support the HP version, you can remove this update to continue to receive support from the switch vendor. NOTE: Modified SPPs cannot be deployed with HP Intelligent Provisioning. Use HP SUM to deploy a modified SPP. To add or remove components from the SPP: 1. Download the SPP ISO that best meets your needs and unzip it onto writable media, such as a USB key or hard drive. 2. Download any hot fixes or other components that you want to add to your ISO. Place them in the \hp\swpackages directory of the SPP. Mounting an ISO 11
