Deploying software using the ProLiant Support Pack (PSP) for
Microsoft Windows
The HP SUM utility delivered with the Windows PSP enables you to deploy software components from a
single, easy-to-use interface for ProLiant server and options.
This utility enables legacy support of existing software and firmware components while simplifying the overall
deployment process. You do not have to run the SETUP executable files SETUPC.EXE, SETUPEX.EXE, and
SETUP.EXE, because the HP SUM utility now provides this functionality. The utility also provides installation
logic and version control that automatically verifies dependencies, installing only the correct updates for
optimal configuration.
Users can now deploy the components simultaneously for ProLiant servers and options. For more information
about simultaneous deployment, see "Deploying firmware and software simultaneously (on page 90)".
For more information about PSP, see the HP ProLiant Support Pack for Windows and Linux User Guide on the
HP website

al&lang=en&cc=us&docIndexId=64179&taskId=101&prodTypeId=18964&prodSeriesId=345557).
HP SUM delivered with HP Workstation Support Pack supports the software deployment on Windows for HP
ProLiant WS460c G6 Blade. This support is available for the local host only.
Deploying software using the Integrity Support Pack (ISP) for
Microsoft Windows
The HP SUM utility enables you to deploy Windows ISP software components for HP Integrity Servers from a
single, easy-to-use interface. This utility enables legacy support of existing software components while
simplifying the overall deployment process. You do not have to run the SETUP executable files SETUPC.EXE,
SETUPEX.EXE, and SETUP.EXE, because the HP SUM utility now provides this functionality. The utility also
provides installation logic and version control that automatically check for dependencies, installing only the
correct updates for optimal configuration.
NOTE: In HP Integrity servers, HP SUM does not support the ability to download the latest
components from ftp.hp.com, as these components are not in the catalog on the HP FTP site.
