• Included HP Smart Update Manager (HPSUM) for Linux to deploy drivers and software instead of the
Linux Deployment Utility (LDU). HPSUM provides the same manageability, added flexibility, more
features, and enhanced functionality.
• Included the following Linux PSP version 8.40 updates:
o HPSUM enables support for RPM files. In the Linux PSP version 8.31 and earlier, LDU utilizes the
TAR.GZ file format for all drivers, agents, and utility/tool files.
o HPSUM uses native RPMs instead of the RPM tarball format that LDU 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.
o HPSUM now allows users to deploy RPMs both locally on a server and remotely to multiple servers
(up to 29 concurrently). The LDU only allowed deployment to a local server. As part of the new
remote RPM deployment support, HP SUM is able to deploy to target servers running different
versions and distributions than where it is being executed from. Therefore, it is not a requirement
that the local system and the remote servers be running the same version or kernel of a Linux
distribution in order to be updated.
