Software Discovery
HP ESO's Software Discovery feature checks to see if the latest HP software, drivers, and firmware
installed in the system.
Software Discovery Reference Catalog Locations specify where to find the information about the
latest available HP software, driver, and firmware updates. Possible choices are:
•
Web
⇒ HP ESO connects to an HP File Transfer Protocol (FTP) site to get the latest catalog.
•
Local
⇒ Lets you specify a system location for the HP catalog. When selected, software
discovery uses the local catalog file specified.
When Local is selected, specifying a shared network drive causes the software discovery to fail
by default. To work around this issue, either:
•
Copy the catalog file to a non-networked drive (for example, C:).
•
If using a network drive is unavoidable, use SysinternalsSuite by Mark Russianovich
. PSEXEC is the only tool
needed. Perform the following steps:
1.
Open up a new command window and run: psexec -s cmd.exe
2.
Run the net use command or any other script to create the network drive.
The Software Discovery RUN button (
) runs the system software discovery and updates. Results
are shown in the Optimization section’s System Software page. Status of the latest discovery also
displays below this button.
NOTE:
Software Discovery executes every time the server restarts.
Optimizations Pages
This Optimizations page provides links to various types of optimizations.
IMPORTANT:
It is highly recommended that you run Data Collection before visiting or modifying
the Optimization links.
In all of the optimization pages, HP ESO displays the following values or controls:
•
Current Value
⇒ The current parameter value discovered in the system.
•
