The Home page enables you to install HP Service Pack for ProLiant and components. You can click the name of the software or firmware item to link to a description of that item from the repository.

To install a component or HP Service Pack for ProLiant:

  1. Click the Home tab. The Home page appears.

  2. Select one, more than one, or all items under Support Pack Version and/or Latest Version.

  3. The Automatically Install Minimum Dependencies option appears at the bottom of the page. Select this option to install the minimum dependencies required to install the selected items. This option is available in VCA 2.2 or later connecting with VCRM version 2.2 or later.


    [NOTE: ]

    NOTE: The Windows VCA shows the Automatically Install Minimum Dependencies option only when the windows HP SUM smart component is available in the repository.


  4. Click Install.

    The PSP/Components selected for Install page appears for selecting the installation options.

  5. Click Install to begin the installation or Cancel to abort the installation and return to the Home page.


    [NOTE: ]

    NOTE: All components are downloaded before installation begins. An error in the download process causes the installation to fail, and no component installations occur. An error in the installation of a single component does not stop the installation of the rest of the components from a HP Service Pack for ProLiant but it does prevent an automatic reboot from occurring. In Windows, if an installation of a single component does not complete within 15 minutes, a timeout occurs and the component installation is terminated.



    [NOTE: ]

    NOTE: Only one installation task can progress at a time. Clicking the Install icon while another installation is in progress redirects you to the Log page for status of the current installation in progress.



    [NOTE: ]

    NOTE: When using HP VCA 6.3 with HP VCRM 6.3, if any component upgrade fails with an exit code 3 during deployment, HP VCA hides this component's version information from the latest and referenced version information in INSTALLED item section. The version information of the same component reappears in the INSTALLED item section for the latest and referenced versions in case the component's installed version is changed.
