9.1 Overview of the PSP installation tool
The HP Insight Control for Linux PSP installation tool enables you to install any or all PSP
components on one or more managed systems. PSPs contain OS-specific bundles of HP ProLiant
optimized drivers, utilities, and management agents.
The HP Insight Control for Linux PSP installation tool is available from the HP Insight Control
user interface:
Deploy→Deploy Drivers, Firmware, and Ag ents→Install ProLiant Support Pack (PSP)...
NOTE:
The Deploy→Deploy Drivers, Firmware and Agents→IC-Linux→Install ProLiant Support
Pack task cannot be used on managed systems running VMware ESX or VMware ESXi.
Use the Configure→Configure or Repair Agents... task to deploy VMware ESX agents.
The WBEM providers (agents) are embedded in VMware ESXi purchased from HP.
The Insight Control for Linux PSP installation tool is provided as a way for you to install PSP
components in addition to the components that are installed automatically.
IMPORTANT: The PSP installation tool requires that SSH credentials have been entered into
HP SIM for the target managed systems. Thus, enter the SSH credentials for the target managed
systems if you have not already done so.
Select the following menu item from the HP Insight Control user interface and update the SSH
Settings:
Options→Security→Credentials→System Credentials...
For more information on setting SSH credentials, see Chapter 19 (page 197)
