HP Smart Update Best Practices Implementer Guide

10. If additional components must be added to the USB, copy them into the /hp/swpackages
(Linux) or the \hp\swpackages (Windows) directory and HP SUM picks them up automatically
if the HP SUM version being used can support the type of components added.
11. Unmount the CD and the USB key.
umount /dev/cdrom
umount /dev/sda1
NOTE: This must match the initial mount point in Step 4.
12. Remove the USB key and CD from the workstation used to create the USB key.
Using a hard drive
1. Copy the contents of the \hp\swpackages directory from the DVD or ISO image to a directory
on the hard drive in the location where HP SUM will be executed.
2. Ensure execute privileges are available in Linux by using the chmod 700 * command. By
default, the files are copied from the DVD in Linux as read-only with no execution privileges.
3. Copy any updated files into the same directory used in Step 1.
4. Execute HP SUM so that the new firmware components are recognized.
