To add this baseline:

Follow these steps:

Browse HP SUM Server Path: This is a directory or file share that the system running HP SUM can access.

Select the location type Browse HP SUM Server Path.
Enter the directory path to the baseline, or click Browse and use the menu to navigate to the directory.

NOTE: If you are adding an SPP, navigate to the hp/swpackages directory.

UNC path (for example \\host\dir): This location uses UNC paths that the system can access.


	NOTE: UNC path is only supported in Windows systems.

Select the location type UNC path (for example \\host\dir).
In the Enter URI for the baseline field, type the UNC address for the source baseline.
Enter the username.
Enter the password.


	NOTE: HP SUM does not support mapped UNC drives.

Download from hpe.com

HP SUM no longer supports downloading a baseline from the web. To get the latest SPP, download the file from the SPP download website, extract the updates, and then add the local baseline to HP SUM.

Enter directory path: Enter, or browse to, the directory where you want to save the baseline. HP SUM allows you to create a new directory, if required.
Enter HTTP URL: Enter an HTTP URL where a bundle file is saved. The server can be local or remote, and you can use an Apache, Tomcat, or IIS server. Provide the complete URL, including the bundle XML. The components must reside in the same directory as the bundle XML.
If you want to download components only for specific operating systems, select the operating systems in the OS Filter Options.


	NOTE: HP SUM adds all baselines in a directory.

Click Add.

Check the activity log to see the status of the baseline. If the baseline does not appear in the baseline list, make sure there are updates in the directory.


	NOTE: HP SUM begins to inventory a baseline as soon as you finish adding the baseline. To minimize the impact on system resources, HP SUM does not recommend adding other baselines until the baseline inventory process finishes.
