Using HP Smart Update Manager with HP Integrity Servers: Capabilities, Best Practices, and Troubleshooting

Update Capabilities

HP SUM can help an administrator manage enclosure, platform and I/O card firmware on HP Integrity

servers. Updates are performed through management interfaces and the operating system. Because the

operating system is used for some updates, the specific HP SUM update capabilities might vary according to

the operating system running on the servers.
