7 Installing the VCA using the HP Smart Update Manager
HP Smart Update Manager utility enables you to deploy Integrity Support Pack (ISP) and ProLiant Support
Pack (PSP) software components from a single, easy-to-use interface. This utility enables legacy support of
existing software while simplifying the overall deployment process. It is no longer necessary to run the SETUP
executable files (SETUPC.EXE, SETUPEX.EXE, and SETUP.EXE). The HP Smart Update Manager utility now
provides this functionality. The utility also provides installation logic and version control that automatically
check for dependencies, installing only the correct updates for optimal configuration.
NOTE: The following operating systems are not supported by the HP Smart Update Manager:
Novell Open Enterprise Server•
