9 Installing HP SMH directly on Linux using Linux
Deployment Utility
Installing HP SMH with preconfiguration
The Linux Deployment Utility enables you to easily upgrade and manage system software. The utility enables
you to deploy and maintain ProLiant Support Pack software on local servers through the terminal window
or ssh (secure shell) utility. The Linux Deployment Utility is shipped with the Linux ProLiant Support Pack,
which is available on the HP SmartSetup CD. The Linux Deployment Utility enables you to install components
or ProLiant Support Packs directly, but not remotely.
The Linux Deployment Utility parses the .XML files associated with each component and verifies whether the
installation of those components is supported on the specific environment. The supported components are
listed with a status icon indicating whether the component must be installed and configured. Configuring or
preconfiguring the HP SMH component is optional.
Preconfiguring HP SMH components
Note: All preconfiguration settings are saved in the components XML file.
1.
