HP SUM assists with the installation of your updates by taking you through these screens:
Source Selections screen
Use this screen to choose the repository or directory to store updates.
Choose the repository or directory to store updates.
Create new repositories and/or remove them and then use hp.com to check for the latest updates. By default, the current directory is added as a repository.
Only use the repositories that you select for server deployment.
Schedule downloads from the HP FTP site.
Create a custom baseline.
Select Targets screen
Use this screen to choose one or more targets to update.
By default, the Local System (the system running HP SUM) is included.
You can add additional targets manually or through the Find Targets button.
You can also create groups of targets to fit your specific needs.
Select one or more targets and/or groups that you wish to update.
HP SUM automatically determines the updates applied to each target.
You can schedule updates to run at a later time.
Review/Install Updates screen
Use this screen to review of your HP SUM selections and change pending updates.
After you click Install, the HP SUM begins to install updates to targets.
You can determine when reboots occur, Never, Always, As needed, and Delayed.
HP SUM updates the local system last if you have remote targets.
After a target completes the pending installation, a link is provided to the installation’s log file.
You can schedule updates to run at a later time.
