HP Service Pack for ProLiant Quick Start Guide

Adding additional content to a bootable USB key
HP USB Key Utility supports multiple images on a single USB flash drive (provided there is adequate
space available on the USB flash drive). To create a bootable USB key with multiple CD and DVD
images, each image transferred to the USB key must support the multi-boot feature.
NOTE: Beginning with HP SUM 6.2.0 and HP SPP 2014.02.0, you cannot include multiple boot
environments on a single device, such as a USB key. HP SUM and SPP ISOs contain signed parts
to work with the UEFI bootloader.
1. Follow the instructions for creating a bootable USB key.
2. Double-click the HP USB Key Utility shortcut in the HP System Tools folder.
3. Complete each step presented by the application:
a. Click Next at the splash screen.
b. Select Agree, and then click Next after reading the End-User License Agreement.
c. Select Add an additional CD/DVD to a bootable USB key, and then click Next.
d. Place the USB flash drive in an available USB port. Insert the media into the optical drive
or mount the ISO image, and then click Next.
e. Choose the drive letter of the source, choose the drive letter of the target USB flash drive,
and then click Next.
f. Click Next on the informational screen. The source contents are copied to the USB flash
drive.
g. Click Finish to display the README.TXT file.
4. Repeat steps 2-3 for each source media or image to be transferred to the USB key.
Mounting an ISO
You can access the ISO contents directly by mounting the ISO file:
1. Use virtual CD/DVD image software available from various software suppliers to mount the
SPP ISO.
2. Navigate to the \hp\swpackages folder on the mounted directory.
3. To run HP SUM, double-click hpsum.exe (Windows) or hpsum (Linux) and then follow the
instructions on the screen.
Copying the SPP to a hard drive
To deploy SPP components with HP SUM using a hard drive:
1. Copy the contents of the \hp\swpackages directory from the SPP ISO image to a directory
on the hard drive where HP SUM will be executed.
2. For Linux, ensure that execute privileges are available by using the chmod -R 700* command.
3. Copy any Hot Fixes into the directory where the files were copied in step 1. To keep the Hot
Fix components separate, place them in a separate directory, such as \hp\hotfixes.
4. Run HP SUM.
