HP Version Control 7.0 Installation and Configuration Guide

7 Installing the HP VCA using the HP Smart Update Manager
HP Smart Update Manager utility enables you to deploy Integrity Support Pack (ISP) and ProLiant
Support Pack (PSP) software components from a single, easy-to-use interface. This utility enables
legacy support of existing software while simplifying the overall deployment process. It is no longer
necessary to run the SETUP executable files (SETUPC.EXE, SETUPEX.EXE, and SETUP.EXE). The HP
Smart Update Manager utility now provides this functionality. The utility also provides installation
logic and version control that automatically check for dependencies, installing only the correct
updates for optimal configuration.
NOTE: The following operating systems are not supported by the HP Smart Update Manager:
• Novell Open Enterprise Server
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3
• SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9
