About This Document This document describes using the HP Integrity Essentials Foundation Pack version 6.1 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 6.1 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 6.1, 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 23).
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. You can easily deploy components on a local host by using 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.
• • • To view all versions of the products included in the bundle, select ALLOW NON-BUNDLE VERSIONS. This option enables you to include updates that might be newer than those released in the bundle.

Items available for installation are selected by default.
column, and you can click Configure Now to configure the selected component. The Configure Now link does not appear on all editions of the Microsoft Windows Server™ 2008 with the Server Core option. To configure components to be deployed on this operating system configuration, you must access the system as a remote host using HP Smart Update Manager running on a system with a supported Windows operating system and then configure the components before deployment.

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 you want to reboot.
/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.

4 Troubleshooting You might encounter the following issues with the Windows® ISPs. The issues are in bold and the resolutions follow. • How do I set the rules for Windows® Firewall and Security Policy properly? When the Windows Security Alert appears, click Unblock and then set your firewall settings to the following: 1. Click Start>Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Windows Firewall with Advanced Security>Inbound Rules>Remote Administration (NP-IN). 2. Select Enabled and Allow the connections.
The HP Smart Update Manager cannot be run in directories containing double-byte characters in the path name. Paths can be created with double-byte characters when using certain versions of the operating system (for example, Japanese or Chinese). • How do I use HP Smart Update Manager over a firewall? Which ports do I need to open? Are they configurable? The port that HP Smart Update Manager uses cannot be configured.
