Using Localhost Guided Update

Use the Localhost Guided Update function to update the localhost. You can use a baseline you have added to the Baseline Library, if you do not specify a baseline, HP SUM uses the updates in the directory from which HP SUM is run.


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

Localhost Guided Update modes
