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.
