The following key terms apply when using HP SUM to deploy updates and can be used in combination to designate the type of environment required for updates to occur, such as local-online or remote-online.

|
Local |
The installation runs on the physical hardware you are updating. For example, running a utility on a server to update the system ROM of the server. |
||||||
|
Remote |
The installation runs on one system, but updates other physical nodes. For example, updating the OA or HP Integrity server firmware across a network. |
||||||
|
Online |
The installation occurs while the host processor is running in the normal server environment. For example, if the server runs Microsoft Windows Server 2012, the update occurs. The update does not require you to boot to a special environment to update the firmware. You might need to reboot the node to activate the firmware. |
||||||
|
Offline |
In offline mode, the HP SUM boots a small Linux kernel and enables updates to occur on a single server.
