Using Localhost Guided Update

Use the Localhost Guided Update function to update the localhost that is running HP SUM. 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. If you want to configure components before deploying updates, make the configuration changes from the Baseline Library before running Localhost Guided Update.

Localhost Guided Update modes

Interactive: HP SUM uses the default baseline or other baseline to update the localhost. You can choose the updates that HP SUM applies to the localhost.
Automatic: HP SUM automatically updates the localhost and using the default baseline or other baseline that you select. After you click OK, HP SUM begins updating the node.

Using Localhost Guided Update in Interactive mode

In the navigation menu, click Localhost Guided Update.

NOTE: If you need to make a change to your selections on this screen, click Start Over.
Select Interactive.
HP SUM displays the current baseline selected for the Localhost.

  Select Assign Baseline to add another Baseline or Additional package. Select the baseline or package to apply.
Click OK. HP SUM begins inventory on the baseline and Localhost.
Click Next after HP SUM finishes the inventory.

Recommended updates that are ready to deploy are highlighted in blue and HP SUM displays a green icon in the Ready to proceed column. If a component has a red button in the Ready to proceed column, it means that there is a dependency you need to resolve before HP SUM can deploy that component. Deselect the item if you want to deploy the other updates and come back later to perform this update.

Click Deploy.


	NOTE: Items that are up-to-date or optional are not highlighted. Click Select to deploy these updates. If you want to globally select all components to rewrite or downgrade, select Actions → Advanced Options and select the Rewrite and Downgrade options, and the Reboot options. Double-click an update to view the component details. If you want to view the information in the new update, click the hyperlink.
