Using the Baseline Library screen

The Baseline Library screen displays the baselines and additional packages you will use to update your nodes. Baselines include the HP SPP, HP Integrity bundle, or custom baselines that include updates that you select from other baselines or additional packages. Additional packages are directories that hold updates that are not included in a named update package, for example a Hot Fix. HP SUM saves baseline information between sessions.

HP SUM displays each added baseline in the left pane. Select a baseline, and HP SUM displays the following information for each baseline and additional package.

  • Release date

  • Languages

  • Operating systems

  • Enhancements

  • Fixes – HP SUM includes a search box for finding updates that meet the search parameters. You can search on file name, description, and update type.

    Double-click an update to view its details.

  • Component configuration – You need to configure some components before you can deploy the update. For more information about configuring components, see Configuring components.


[NOTE: ]

NOTE: If you created a custom ISO, you need to mount the ISO on the system so HP SUM can detect the files, and then add the directory as a baseline. For more information, see Adding a baseline.
