Deploying PSPs for Linux
Separate PSPs are currently shipped for each supported distribution and version of Linux. Each
PSP includes the software appropriate for the supported distribution and version of Linux. The PSPs
support 32-bit and x86-64-based installations on both AMD and Intel-based servers.
The deployment utility contained on the PSP is HP SUM. HP SUM enables the customer to choose
the components to install. The default setting within HP SUM installs all available components.
Additionally, HP SUM enables software deployment for multiple HP ProLiant servers from a single
GUI.
With this version of the Linux PSP:
• HP SUM no longer determines the necessity of a reboot based on component selection and
installation. Instead, HP SUM provides an interface.
• HP SUM attempts to install all of the RPMs in the Linux PSP. HP recommends that you select
only those components necessary for each environment.
• The necessary libraries must be changed to ensure execution of HP SUM. Additionally, several
new RPMs might have to be installed before all RPMs included in the Linux PSP can be deployed
