SmartStart 8.70 Release Notes

Operating systems 18
• HP SUM now enables users to deploy RPMs both locally on a server and remotely to multiple servers (up
to 29 concurrently). The hppldu utility only allowed deployment to a local server. As part of the new
remote RPM deployment support, HP SUM is able to deploy to target servers running different versions
and distributions than where it is being executed from. Therefore, it is not a requirement that the local
system and the remote servers be running the same version or kernel of a Linux distribution in order to
be updated.
• With SUSE Enterprise Linux 11 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3, the HP StorageWorks QLogic Fibre
Channel Driver for 2.6x Kernels, HP StorageWorks QLogic Fibre Channel Drive for c-Class Blade
Servers, and HP Linux Driver Kit for Emulex Based Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter for 2.6.x Kernels
components are provided in the OS distribution and are no longer included in the ProLiant Support
Pack.
• As part of the Linux PSP version 8.40 changes, new RPMs that are included on the vendor OS media
and listed in the following table may need to be installed before all RPMs included in the Linux PSP can
be deployed. Before the update proceeds, the autorun shell script prompts for these required RPMs to be
installed.

utilities accessed by booting from the SmartStart CD are not available to users attempting to perform actions
on volumes present on the MSA1000 or MSA1500. This limitation includes use of the ADU, ACU, and the
ROM Update Utility.
