The following key terms are used when using HP SUM to deploy updates:
Term |
Definition | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Local |
The installation runs on the physical hardware you are updating. For example, running a utility on a server to update the server's system ROM. | |||||||||
Remote |
The installation runs on one system, but updates other physical targets. For example, updating the OA firmware across a network through a web browser. | |||||||||
Online |
The installation occurs while the host processor is running in the normal server environment. For example, if the server runs Microsoft Windows Server 2008, the update occurs under this environment. The update does not require you to boot to a special environment to update the firmware. You might need to reboot the target to activate the firmware. | |||||||||
Offline |
In offline mode, the HP SUM boots a small Linux kernel and enables updates to occur on a single server.
