Introduction 21
Using a hard drive
1. Copy the contents of the \hp\swpackages directory from the DVD or ISO image to a directory on the
hard drive where HP SUM is to be executed.
NOTE: Ensure that execute privileges are available in Linux by using the chmod 700 *
command. By default, the files are copied off the DVD in Linux as read-only with no execution
privileges.
2. Copy any updated files into the same directory where the files were copied in step 1.
3. Execute HP SUM to have the new components recognized.
Deploying components not on HP Smart Update Firmware DVD
Make sure you use the correct version that is released along with the deliverable supporting the environment.
If you have components that are not on the HP Smart Update Firmware DVD that you want to deploy to a
ProLiant server or option, you can include other smart components in the HP SUM environment. To deploy
software and firmware components that are not on the HP Smart Update Firmware DVD:
1. Obtain the components from the HP website (http://www.hp.com).
2. Create a bootable USB key, or copy the \hp\swpackages directory to the hard drive, and then remove
the read-only bit (Linux only).
3. Add the components to the \hp\swpackages directory on the USB key or to the directory on the hard
drive with the components from the HP Smart Update Firmware DVD.
4. Start HP SUM.
5. On the Source Selection screen, you can specify the directory where all of the components are located
as well as select the Check ftp.hp.com (for ProLiant servers) checkbox if you want to include the latest
version of software and firmware components from the HP website (http://www.hp.com).
6. Select the checkbox for non-bundle versions, and then click OK.
Trusted Platform Module
The TPM, when used with BitLocker, measures a system state and, upon detection of a changed ROM image,
restricts access to the Windows® file system if the user cannot provide the recovery key. HP Smart Update
Manager detects if a TPM is enabled in your system. If a TPM is detected in your system or with any remote
server selected as a target, for some newer models of ProLiant, HP Smart Update Manager utilities for iLO,
Smart Array, NIC, and BIOS warn users prior to a flash. If the user does not temporarily disable BitLocker and
does not cancel the flash, the BitLocker recovery key is needed to access the user data upon reboot.
A recovery event is triggered if:
• The user does not temporarily disable BitLocker before flashing the System BIOS when using the
Microsoft BitLocker Drive Encryption.
• The user has optionally selected to measure iLO, Smart Array, and NIC firmware.
