3 Installing the HP Server Updates Catalog Considerations Ensure that SCUP, WSUS, SCCM, and the managed servers are all properly configured for use with the Software Updates functionality. Installation The HP Server Updates Catalog is registered with Microsoft as a partner catalog. Add and import the catalog like any other standard catalog.
4 Using the HP Server Updates Catalog The catalog updates appear in the SCUP console under the Hewlett-Packard ProLiant Servers subfolder. Deploy the updates like any other standard update. NOTE: • If you are deploying updates to a managed server that does not have any HP drivers installed, you must deploy a ProLiant Support Pack update before any individual firmware or software updates.
5 Deploying firmware and software updates manually In addition to the catalog, it is possible to deploy firmware and software updates using an SCCM Software Distribution package. There are several ways to create and use a Software Distribution package. To deploy HP firmware and software to a managed ProLiant server while minimizing network bandwidth: 1. Create a folder on the SCCM primary site server. 2. Copy all of the required HP SUM files into the folder.
