HP SUM User Interface 29
NOTE: FTP downloaded from HTTP proxy fails. Components from the HP FTP site are only
presented for selection on the Select Items to Install screen if their versions are newer than what is
already on the system. If a system has all of the latest versions of firmware and software, no
components from HP.com are presented on the Select Items to be Installed screen.
NOTE: HP SUM does support the ability to download the latest Linux RPMs and Virtual Connect
components from ftp.hp.com for ProLiant servers.
NOTE: HP SUM does not support the ability to download the latest components from ftp.hp.com
to HP Integrity servers.
• Include components previously downloaded from HP.com—This option includes the components that
have been previously downloaded from the HP FTP site as available for selection on the Select Items to
be Installed screen. The default location for the previously downloaded components is
%TEMP%\hp_sum\RepositoryManager\Repxx\<component_number> directory. To use
components already downloaded from the HP website, select this checkbox.
To begin the inventory process, click Start Inventory. The Inventory Progress screen appears while the HP
SUM builds an inventory of available updates.
