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. Options you can edit vary based on the node. For information on specific node options, see Node-specific additional details.


[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. Some of the fields you can edit the following fields:

    • Description

    • Selected baseline and additional package.

    • Credentials

    • Reboot Options – Reboot system, Reboot delay, Reboot message

    • Installation Options – Upgrading, downgrading, or rewriting versions of software, hardware, or both.

  3. Click OK to accept the changes and return to the Nodes screen.
