Launching HP SUM

The first time you run HP SUM, make sure you run it in online mode, because HP SUM does not include

any component updates. If you want to run HP SUM in offline mode to perform updates automatically,

run HP SUM in online mode, create a custom ISO, burn the ISO to a DVD or USB Key, and then close

HP SUM and reboot the system into the ISO’s offline mode.

NOTE: If you launch HP SUM from a mounted ISO, such as iLO Virtual Media, HP SUM creates a

%temp%/localhpsum (Windows) or /tmp/localhpsum (Linux) directory. If you run HP SUM from

the mounted ISO, you need to delete the temporary localhpsum files manually. The clean-cache

command does not clean these files. HP SUM displays messages about copying files to the drive

specified. HP SUM does not need to copy the files if you run HP SUM on a fileshare directory.

• GUI mode: Navigate to the directory where you saved HP SUM. Type the command hpsum.bat

(Windows) or hpsum.sh (Linux) to start the GUI.

• Text-based console mode: Navigate to the directory where you saved HP SUM. From the command

line, type hpsum and a console parameter. For a full list of parameters, type hpsum -h (Windows)

or hpsum /h (Linux).

• Legacy CLI mode: Navigate to the directory where you saved HP SUM. Type an hpsum /s and

a legacy CLI parameter. For full details on using HP SUM in legacy CLI mode, see the HP Smart

Update Manager User Guide.

Launching HP SUM in GUI mode from an ISO

Runs HP SUM on a Windows or Linux operating system.

1. Copy the files from the ISO to your local host.

2. Open Start.html, found in the root directory, in a supported browser.

3. Follow the directory on the screen.

NOTE: If you are running HP SUM from an ISO that contains updates, the directory might contain

a large number of files.
