1. Copy the Linux Support Pack contents from the HP SmartStart CD to a location on the system

where you want to install HP VCA.

2. From the same location, execute the following command:

./hpsum -s -c hpvca-6.1.x-x.*linux.rpm

NOTE: Alternatively, you can also use the certificate option to connect to HP VCRM from HP

VCA that allows a trusted HP VCA the ability to connect to HP VCRM without providing the

authentication details.
