Add a repository

If the default repositories do not include the component or bundle updates, use the following steps to add a new repository:

1. Click Add Repository, and then choose Firmware Only, Software Only, or Both.

   You can choose the updates to use when you add or edit a repository. By default, HP SUM displays firmware and software updates. If you want to view which updates are being used in an existing repository, select the repository in the Current Repositories table, and then click Edit Repository.

   • Both - HP SUM will display component firmware and software updates that are ready.
   • Firmware only - HP SUM will only display component firmware updates that are ready.
   • Software only - HP SUM will only display software firmware updates that are ready.

     NOTE: If you select firmware or software only, you might not have any updates to apply to a device on the Select Bundles or Select Components screens.

2. Enter an optional name for the repository in Repository Name.
3. Click Browse to open a navigation window, or enter the path to the directory that holds the updates in Repository Location.
4. Click OK.
