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 ("

HP USB Key Utility

" on page

12

), 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.

If HP Smart Update Manager detects a TPM, a pop-up warning message appears.

To enable firmware updates without the need to type in the TPM password on each server, the BitLocker Drive

Encryption must be temporarily disabled. Disabling the BitLocker Drive Encryption keeps the hard drive data
