Editing a node

Nodes are changed using the Edit option on the Nodes screen. Make sure HP SUM has completed all functions, for example, node inventory or deployment, before you edit a node.


[NOTE: ]

NOTE: HP SUM uses the same function to edit all node types.


  1. From the Nodes screen, highlight the node and then click Actions → Edit.

  2. Change the items you want to edit:

    • Description

    • Type


      [NOTE: ]

      NOTE: Select the check box if you want HP SUM to automatically add Associated Devices. (Not available for all node types.)


    • HP SUM displays the currently selected baseline and additional package. Use the drop-down menu if you want to change these.


      [NOTE: ]

      NOTE: If you want to delete a baseline or additional package, the baseline or additional package cannot be associated with a node. Associate a new baseline or delete the node to delete a baseline.
