HP SUM User Interface
Deployment scenarios
HP SUM deploys firmware and software on a local host or one or more remote hosts. Except for Integrity
servers, the remote hosts must be online and running the same operating system as the system running HP
SUM. For example, when the remote hosts are running Linux, HP SUM must also be running on a Linux
operating system. However, this is not true for Integrity servers. Integrity servers can be running HP-UX or
other operating systems, and the updates can be performed through iLO or the OA.
The following table describes when typical HP SUM deployment scenarios are used.
