Scripted online update for Linux server
This is a method that updates all of the software components for an online Linux server in a scripted
method using an answer file. A similar process can be used for a Windows server, provided HP
SUM is launched from a Windows server. The scripting answer files are similar for both the
Windows and Linux environments.
Both SPP and HP ProLiant Support Pack (PSP) use HP SUM, so a scripted installation that worked
for PSP 9.10 should work with SPP. Always check the HP SUM Release Notes for changes that
may affect your scripts.
1. Download the bootable and complete SPP ISO.
2. Unpack or mount the SPP ISO to a local directory or share, or mount the ISO to a local virtual
drive to gain access to HP SUM.
3. Prepare an answer file based on the command line options.
For HP SUM command line options, see the HP Smart Update Manager User Guide.
Example answer file
4. Initiate HP SUM with the answer file:
./hpsum/s/softwareonly/answerfile
The /softwareonly switch tells HP SUM to update software components, such as drivers
and agents.
The /answerfile location must be a valid path.
