HP SUM User Interface 39
NOTE: In Linux, the Reboot Delay time is automatically converted from seconds to minutes. Any
value under a full minute, 59 seconds or less, will be rounded to the next minute for Linux.
Make any changes, and click OK.
NOTE: The reboot options do not apply when deploying firmware to HP Integrity
BL860c/BL870c/BL890c i2 Servers with HP SUM. HP SUM will reboot the server automatically
during the firmware update process when the user has selected Upload and Activate. Checking
any other reboot options or setting a reboot delay is not applicable.
Component selection pane
The component selection pane of the Select Items to be Installed screen displays (by component number
order, unless a dependency causes the installation order to change) components available for installation
based on your server and hardware options. HP SUM verifies each component for dependencies, if the
component is already installed on the system, or if it requires a reboot after installation. Items available for
installation are selected by default. You can deselect any components you do not want to install.
The component selection pane is divided into the following columns:
• Product—Specifies the name of the component, version number, new component version number, and
the criticality status of the component updates. To view the component version history, click the new
version number. If a component is retrieved from ftp.hp.com, it has an HP icon next to it. For Linux RPMs,
the operating system and system architecture are listed.
Criticality Icon Text Description
Critical HP requires users to update to this component version immediately.
Recommended HP recommends that users update to this component version at their
earliest convenience.
Optional Update to this component version if their system is affected by one of the
documented fixes or if they want to utilize any of the enhanced
functionality provided by this version.
Unknown Component status is not available.
NOTE: All Linux RPMs have the Unknown criticality icon , because the RPM update
information is not available to HP SUM.
• Status—Displays the status of the component.
Icon Text Description
Ready for installation The component is ready for installation.
Not selected for
installation

Already up-to-date The component is already up-to-date. To downgrade or rewrite a
