Running HP SUM

HP SUM provides the following modes:

GUI—For firmware and software deployments
Scripted—For silent firmware and software deployments

HP SUM supports local and remote deployments. HP SUM runs in Windows and Linux in online and offline mode. For more information about deployment modes, see Deployment modes.


	NOTE: You cannot run HP SUM on a Windows Hyper-V system. Run HP SUM on a supported Windows or Linux system, and select the Hyper-V system as a node.


	NOTE: Before deploying software updates to a server, be sure that a recent backup of the server is available in the event the deployment procedure fails.

For information on the minimum requirements to run HP SUM, see the HP Smart Update Manager Release Notes on the HP website:
