HP Insight Management 7.2 Update 2 Installation and Upgrade Release Notes

1 Overview of the Insight Management 7.2 Update 2
release
Release objective
HP Insight Management 7.2 Update 2 release provides feature enhancements for both the HP
Insight Management Advisor and the HP Insight Management Installer. HP Insight Management
7.2 Update 2 also provides updates for existing operating systems and hypervisors, and also fixes
to known software issues.
HP Insight Management Incremental Update Installer overview
The HP Insight Management Incremental Update Installer operates as follows:
1. Verifies that HP Insight Management 7.2 or 7.2 Update 1 is currently installed on the server.
2. Determines if enough disk space is available to install all required updates.
3. Runs a predefined subset of Insight Management Advisor tests in the background to test the
health of the server.
If a major configuration issue is detected, you are presented with the opportunity to manually
run the Insight Management Advisor to use the test results to help you resolve the issue.
4. Detects and presents a list of the software updates that need to be installed based on the
current software configuration. All applicable software updates are listed; you do not have
the option to selectively choose which updates to apply. The Insight Management Incremental
Update Installer notifies you if there are no updates to be installed.
If an Insight Management 7.2 or 7.2 Update 1 component has already been updated or if a
software component was not installed previously and is not detected, the related software
update does not appear in the list.
5. Prompts you to supply a backup location for the files that will be updated and creates a backup
copy of the files in the location you specify.
If an update is not successful and a rollback is required, the original files are obtained from
this backup location. If a component has its own Installer program, its Installer program handles
the rollback. For all other components, the Insight Management Incremental Update Installer
performs the rollback.
6. Prompts you to review the list of updates before clicking Install.
7. Alerts you to turn off the anti-virus for the patch update.
8. Stops the HP Systems Insight Manager service and the dependent services.
9. Creates an update-specific folder and log file in C:\HPIC\logs\IMUpdate72U2 to record all
update operations.
10. Restarts the HP Systems Insight Manager service and verifies that services for all the components
are up and running after the update is complete.
11. Updates the existing registry entry for each component that is successfully updated.
For Matrix Operating Environment, the installer creates a new 7.2.2 registry entry without
upgrading the existing 7.2 entry.
12. Generates the UpdateResult.txt file that lists the status of each component that was
updated, which you can view from the Complete screen (the last screen of the user interface).
