ProLiant Support Packs (PSP) represent operating system (OS)
specific bundles of ProLiant optimized drivers, utilities, and
management agents. These bundles of software are tested together
to ensure proper installation and functionality. PSPs are
released concurrently with HP's SmartStart CD, and can also be
released outside of the SmartStart cycle and available to
customers from the
HP Proliant Support Pack download selection pages or at
HP Insight Foundation suite for ProLiant web site.
Each PSP consists of a deployment utility, setup and software
maintenance tools designed to provide an efficient way to manage
routine software maintenance tasks. IT administrators can select
PSP updates from a central software repository for deployment on
local or remote server systems Windows or Linux. These
deployment utilities remotely deploy driver and management agent
updates to network attached servers and can be operated from an
IT administrator's workstation, where remote servers are
selected for software updates.
PSPs provide customers with a ProLiant system software baseline
that has already been tested and verified by HP. In addition to
the baseline capabilities, HP provides tools that make deploying
the software updates to ProLiant servers throughout the
environment easy.
ProLiant Support Packs are delivered concurrently with each
release of the HP Insight software Foundation Pack and can also
be downloaded via the
HP ProLiant Support Pack download selection pages of HP.com. HP provides
ProLiant Support Packs for the following operating systems:
