About This Document This document describes using the HP Integrity Essentials Foundation Pack version 5.5 to deploy Integrity Support Pack (ISP) software components from a single, easy-to-use interface. Intended Audience This document is for system administrators using the HP Integrity Essentials Foundation Pack version 5.5 to deploy Integrity Support Pack (ISP) software components.
1 Deploying HP Integrity Support Packs in Windows Overview Beginning with HP Integrity Essentials Foundation Pack version 5.5, the HP Smart Update Manager utility enables you to deploy Integrity Support Pack (ISP) 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).
2 ISPs powered by HP Smart Update Manager Deployment scenarios HP Smart Update Manager deploys software smart components on a local host or one or more remote hosts. The remote hosts must be online and running the same operating system as the system running HP Smart Update Manager. The following table describes typical HP Smart Update Manager deployment scenarios.
Deployment to multiple remote hosts The following figure illustrates the multiple-host deployment process. To deploy components to multiple remote hosts using the GUI: 1. Ensure all minimum requirements are fulfilled as described in “Minimum requirements for Integrity servers” (page 9). 2. Ensure that the components to be deployed are accessible to the administrative system and are available in the same directory as the HP Smart Update Manager.
Figure 2-1 Inventory Progress Screen Selecting an installation host The Select Installation Hosts screen appears when the inventory process is complete.
Figure 2-2 Select Installation Host(s) Screen – Local The Select Installation Hosts screen enables you to choose a host for component installation. By default, the first time you run the HP Smart Update Manager on a particular system, the only host available is the Local Host. However, you can select Remote Host or Group as your target by using the GUI. For more information about using the graphical interface for multiple remote deployments, see “Using the GUI: multiple-host installations” (page 21).
Next Exit Proceeds to the next step in the installation process. Exits the HP Smart Update Manager. To continue with the deployment process, click Next. If the system discovery finds one or more predefined bundles such as from an ISP, the Select Bundle Filter screen appears. Otherwise, the deployment process proceeds. For multiple remote deployments, enter the credentials for the host. The Select Items to be Installed screen appears.
Figure 2-5 Select Items to be Installed Screen For more information about the Select Items to be Installed screen and its sections, see “Selecting components to install” (page 15). Using the GUI: local host installations After first time installations, the HP Smart Update Manager can deploy smart components on a local host or one or more remote hosts. The easiest way to deploy components on a local host is to use the HP Smart Update Manager GUI.
Figure 2-6 Select Installation Host(s) Screen – Local Host The Discovery Progress screen appears while the HP Smart Update Manager checks the local system to see which items are already installed. If the system discovery finds one or more predefined bundles such as from an ISP, the Select Bundle Filter screen appears. Otherwise, the Select Items to be Installed screen appears.

3 Advanced installation of ISPs in Windows This section addresses advanced installation of ISPs in Windows. Component configuration Component configuration requires that Smart Components are in a write-accessible location. A CD or read-only network share is not supported. If you have obtained your support pack from the SmartSetup CD, copy the entire contents of the support pack directory to the local hard drive or a network share, and then make sure the read-only attributes are cleared from all files.
/r[eboot] Causes the server (or host server in a remote installation) to reboot if the following conditions are met: • The /reboot argument has been selected or given as a command line argument. • All components selected for installation were successfully installed. • At least one of the components installed required a reboot to complete its installation. /reboot_message "message" Displays the specified reboot message on remote consoles connected to the server to be rebooted.
/b[undle] bundlename | bundlename Specifies the bundles to be installed. You can specify bundles with the /b argument or without it. If you specify the /b argument, you can specify only one bundle at a time. However, you can specify multiple /b arguments and bundles on the same command line. If you do not specify the /b argument, you can specify multiple bundles (separated by a space) after all other arguments at the end of the command line.
/target "netAddress" /logdir "path" Specifies the IP address or the DNS name of a HP BladeSystem c-Class Onboard Administrator or remote host. When two Onboard Administrators are in an enclosure, this argument must be the active Onboard Administrator. Enables you to redirect the output from HP Smart Update Manager or the HP BladeSystem c-Class Onboard Administrator flash utility to a different directory than the default location.
Return codes HP Smart Update Manager has consolidated the return codes from Windows® components into a new, enhanced return code mapping. These return codes determine the status of the component installation. You can also use return codes in a script to control the execution of the script and determine any required branching. To view the installation log file locations, see “Viewing the installation results” (page 19). Return Code Value Explanation SUCCESS_NO_REBOOT 0 The installation was successful.
