Using Localhost Guided Update

HP SUM's Localhost Guided Update function allows you to update the localhost using the default baseline to apply. The default baseline is the directory from which you are running HP SUM.


	NOTE: If the directory from which you are running HP SUM has no updates, then you cannot use Localhost Guided Update. If there is no default baseline, HP SUM displays a message in the Inventory of Baseline section.

Interactive: In this mode HP SUM uses the default baseline to update the localhost. You can choose the updates that HP SUM applies to the localhost.

NOTE: HP SUM does not support configuring components in Localhost Guided Update.
Automatic: In this mode HP SUM automatically updates the localhost and uses the default baseline.

NOTE: In automatic mode, HP SUM automatically begins updates when you click OK.
