(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883646).
o Upgrade to Windows 2003 SP1
• Microsoft® Windows Server® 2003 Select Operating System Selection
No separate operating system selection exists for Microsoft® Windows Server® 2003 Select products
during SmartStart assisted installation, unlike the process for Microsoft® Windows Server® 2000. Use
the regular Windows 2003 products listed for both Select and Retail licenses. Microsoft® Windows®
2000 Select media uses a technique where setup does not prompt for a product key, but instead
generates a semi-random product key value with some channel information. Microsoft® Windows
Server® 2003 Select prompts for a Volume License Key that each customer receives with the contract.
Microsoft® Windows Server® 2003 x64 Editions
To manually execute the ProLiant Support Pack for Microsoft® Windows Server® 2003 x64 Editions,
browse to the \compaq\csp\nt\ directory on the SmartStart CD, and then double-click setup.exe. The
ProLiant Remote Deployment Utility launches and allows you to select the appropriate ProLiant Support Pack.
Microsoft® Windows® 2000
SmartStart version 7.91 was the last release to contain the Windows® 2000 PSP. Windows® 2000 PSP has
not been updated since version 7.60 and will continue to be available on the web for download.
Netware PSPs
SmartStart version 7.91 was the last release to contain the NetWare PSP. The NetWare PSP will continue to
be available on the web for download.
ProLiant Support Pack (PSP) for Linux
SmartStart version 8.60 was the last release that contained Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 PSP. The Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4 PSP will continue to be available to download from the HP website (http://www.hp.com).
Beginning with version 8.40 of the ProLiant Support Packs (PSP), HP Smart Update Manager (HPSUM) for
Linux is used to deploy drivers and software instead of the Linux Deployment Utility (LDU). HPSUM provides
the same manageability, added flexibility, more features, and enhanced functionality.
Linux PSP version 8.40 includes the following updates:
• In the Linux PSP version 8.31 and earlier, LDU utilizes the TAR.GZ file format for all drivers, agents, and
utility/tool files. In Linux PSP version 8.40, HPSUM enables support for RPM files.
• HP SUM uses native RPMs instead of the RPM tarball format that hppldu used; therefore, HP SUM
enables updated RPMs to be added and deployed with the files provided with the Linux PSP. This
provides additional flexibility because the Linux PSP no longer needs to be modified to support later
releases of key software.
