Obtaining the HP manifest catalog with the sync tool
There are two methods to obtain the HP manifest catalog with the sync tool:
• Sync with the Internet—HP recommends that the sync tool be used to automatically download the HP
manifest catalog from the HP website. Using this method, new catalog updates can be automatically
implemented with no user intervention.
Be sure that the sync host has an FTP connection so that the sync tool can automatically download
the latest HP manifest catalog. If the SMS environment uses a proxy that requires authentication, see
"
SMS site server with an FTP connection (on page 23)" for more information.
• Sync with a network shared folder—If the sync host does not have an FTP connection, HP
recommends configuring the sync tool to obtain the HP manifest catalog from a local folder or a
network shared folder. The SMS administrator must manually download the HP manifest catalog and
HP ProLiant or Integrity Support Pack components from the HP website and place the files in the
appropriate locations. See "SMS site server without an FTP connection (on page 23)" for more
information.
NOTE: The network share folder specified must have the two subfolders, "Catalog" and "Components."
Download the HP manifest catalog to the Catalog folder and the HP ProLiant or Integrity Support Pack to the
appropriate Components subfolder.
