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 select Actions → Edit.

    If you have assigned a baseline to the node, then the inventory begins immediately. Use the following instructions if the Inventory page opens.

  2. You can edit the following fields:

    • Description

    • Type


      [NOTE: ]

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

      If you are updating OAs and iLOs at the same time, select this for OA nodes so HP SUM detects associated iLO nodes. HP SUM can determine the correct deployment order when you deploy updates to the OA.


    • 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.
