ISS Technology Update Volume 7, Number 5 For more information, refer to the HPSUM User Guide located in the \compaq\docs directory on the Firmware Maintenance CD or on the web: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00679482/c00679482.pdf?jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN. Software management life cycle The lifecycle of server software management includes three phases: active notification and acquisition, version control, and distribution and installation. Figure 4-1. Software management life cycle • Active notification and acquisition is the phase where administrators learn that new software is available and acquire it. • Version control is the phase where administrators determine whether the updated software is applicable to their environments and what issues they need to understand before deciding to install a software update. • Distribution and installation is the phase that involves installing the software on the desired systems within the customer's environment. HPSUM deployment scenarios Scenario 1 - Remote deployment of firmware to c-Class server blades with installed operating systems and Onboard Administrators This deployment scenario has certain requirements: • The target servers have a hosted OS that is a supported version of Windows or Linux, which is already installed and running • OA must be on a network accessible from the HPSUM Management Console (where HPSUM is running) Use these steps to deploy firmware to c-Class server blades with installed operating systems and Onboard Administrators: 1. Download the latest ProLiant Essentials Firmware Maintenance CD and create a CD from the ISO image. 2. Create a USB key (2GB recommended) using the HP USB Key Utility for Windows. 3. Copy updated ROMs from the web and add them to the \compaq\swpackages directory on the USB key. 4. Run autorun from the USB key: • Windows \autorun\autorun_win.exe • Linux ./autorun 5. Click on Firmware tab. 6. Click on Install Firmware link to start HPSUM or start HPSUM manually by running \compaq\swpackages\hpsum. 8

Software management life cycle
The lifecycle of server software management
includes three phases: active notification and
acquisition, version control, and distribution and
installation.
•
Active notification and acquisition
is the phase
where administrators learn that new software is
available and acquire it.
•
Version control
is the phase where administrators
determine whether the updated software is
applicable to their environments and what issues
they need to understand before deciding to
install a software update.
•
Distribution and installation
is the phase that
involves installing the software on the desired
systems within the customer’s environment.

HPSUM deployment scenarios
Scenario 1 – Remote deployment of firmware to c-Class server blades with installed operating systems and Onboard
Administrators
This deployment scenario has certain requirements:
•
The target servers have a hosted OS that is a supported version of Windows or Linux, which is already installed and running
•
OA must be on a network accessible from the HPSUM Management Console (where HPSUM is running)
Use these steps to deploy firmware to c-Class server blades with installed operating systems and Onboard Administrators:
1.
Download the latest ProLiant Essentials Firmware Maintenance CD and create a CD from the ISO image.
2.
Create a USB key (2GB recommended) using the HP USB Key Utility for Windows.
3.
Copy updated ROMs from the web and add them to the \compaq\swpackages directory on the USB key.
4.
Run autorun from the USB key:
•
Windows
\autorun\autorun_win.exe
•
Linux
./autorun
