SMS Inventory Tool for HP ProLiant and Integrity Update User Guide

To modify the HP updates collection, see "Identifying HP servers to manage (on page 19)" for more
information.
NOTE: Running the scan tool on an unsupported server will generate an error code. See "Troubleshooting
(on page 69)" for more information.
Obtaining the latest HP manifest catalog
During installation, the setup wizard can obtain the latest HP manifest catalog from either the HP website
or a network shared folder:
• For SMS site servers with access to the Internet, see "SMS site server with an FTP connection (on
page 23)" for instructions on downloading the HP manifest catalog from the HP website.
• For SMS site servers without access to the Internet, see "SMS site server without an FTP connection
(on page 23)" for instructions on downloading the HP manifest catalog from a network shared
folder.
The sync tool can also be used to download the latest HP manifest catalog after the inventory tool is
installed. See "Obtaining the HP manifest catalog with the sync tool (on page 24)" for more information.
IMPORTANT: If the inventory tool is configured to use a network share during installation, components
updated with DSUW will also be obtained from network share. Components will be obtained from the HP
FTP site if the tool is configured to use FTP during setup. See "
Switching between internet and network share
to obtain HP catalog and components
("Switching between the Internet and network share to obtain HP
catalog and components" on page 35)" for more information.
SMS site server with an FTP connection
If the SMS site server has an FTP connection, HP recommends using the setup wizard to download the
latest HP manifest catalog from the HP website.
The SMS environment might use a proxy that requires authentication to access the Internet. Be sure to run
the setup wizard using an account that has the following characteristics:
• Access to the Internet
• SMS administrative permissions (SMS admins group)
• Local administrative permissions (Local administrators group)
Also, be sure to verify that your network access, including firewalls or proxy servers are setup to allow
active FTP access.
See "
Access rights (on page 38)" for more information on setting up Internet connections.
SMS site server without an FTP connection
If the SMS site server does not have an FTP connection, the HP manifest catalog and all component files
must be provided on a local network share.
In this case, the setup wizard downloads the HP manifest catalog from the network shared folder. Before
running the setup wizard, be sure the selected network shared folder contains the latest HP manifest
catalog and individual components.
After the sync tool is configured to obtain the HP manifest catalog and individual components from the
network shared folder, you must verify that the share is regularly updated with the latest manifest catalog
to ensure information in the SMS site server is current.
To download the HP manifest catalog and individual components to a network shared folder:
