Deploying software using the ProLiant Support Pack (PSP) for
Microsoft Windows
The HP SUM utility delivered with the Windows PSP enables you to deploy software components from a
single, easy-to-use interface for ProLiant server and options.
This utility enables legacy support of existing software and firmware components while simplifying the
overall deployment process. You do not have to run the SETUP executable files SETUPC.EXE,
SETUPEX.EXE, and SETUP.EXE, because the HP SUM utility now provides this functionality. The utility also
provides installation logic and version control that automatically verify for dependencies, installing only
the correct updates for optimal configuration.
Users can now deploy firmware and software components simultaneously for ProLiant servers and options.
For more information about this new feature, see "Deploying firmware and software simultaneously (on
page
)".
For more information about PSP, see the HP ProLiant Support Pack for Windows and Linux User Guide on
the HP website
