2 Downloading and installing an SPP This chapter provides an overview of the process for downloading an SPP and deploying SPP components. To install the components from an SPP: 1. Download the SPP from the SPP download page: http://www.hp.com/go/spp/download 2. Open the zip file and review README.txt. 3. Determine how you want to access the data on the ISO - bootable USB key, mounted ISO, mounted DVD, etc. Use the appropriate tools to stage the ISO in the format you want to access it. For instructions, see "Staging an SPP" (page 9). 4. Determine how you want to initiate deployment to your targets using the SPP: • Online mode - Runs on a Windows or Linux hosted operating system • Offline mode - Server boots to the SPP ISO (Bootable ISO only) ◦ Automatic mode - Updates firmware components without interaction. ◦ Interactive mode - Onscreen instructions guide you to update components. 5. Initiate deployment. To initiate deployment in offline mode: 1. Boot the server to the SPP using one of the supported methods, including mounting the ISO or DVD or using a bootable USB key. 2.
