Unless you specify otherwise during installation, these RPMs are included in the hppldu-librpms-<version>
tarball and are installed by default.
To perform builds of NIC source RPMs, the following RPMs are needed on the local Linux system running
HP SUM.
•
gcc-2.96-108.1 or later
•
kernel-devel (needed to build RPMs from source. Especially for Red Hat Enterprise Server 5.3 and

NOTE:
Be sure to include the version of the compatibility libraries that is appropriate for your
architecture. In some cases, there are separate 32-bit and 64-bit compatibility libraries for a
given distribution.
For a current list of supported Linux distributions and versions (and their associated errata kernels), see the
operating system support matrixes
The PSPs are designed for use after you install the operating system so that you can update drivers, install
HP utilities (such as Health and iLO drivers), and install agents (Foundation, Server, NIC, and Storage).
Installing the PSP for Linux
Installing Linux HP PSP using autorun:
PSPs can be installed through the autorun if autorun is configured on the target Linux server.
Red Hat distributions include autorun. If autorun is not installed, then it must be installed and properly
configured before beginning. Autorun typically mounts the CD-ROM on /media/cdrom for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4 and SUSE-based distributions.
NOTE:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10 SP2 automount the
CD with the noexec property set. To run autorun, the CD must be first be unmounted and then
manually remounted.
For other distributions, several autorun utilities are available for download from various Internet sites.
These distributions typically mount the CD-ROM on /media/cdrom.
For the following instructions, the CD-ROM is mounted on /mnt/mnt. When performing these steps,
replace /mnt/mnt with the actual mount point.
