Obtaining PSP

The latest PSPs and individual components for supported Windows and Linux operating systems are available on the Downloads tab on the HP website at http://www.hp.com/go/foundation.

As of PSP 9.00, the recommended method for obtaining updates is to use the HP SPP instead of PSP. For more information, see the HP website at http://www.hp.com/go/spp/download.

Version control

HP VCRM and HP VCA are web-enabled Insight Management Agents. HP Systems Insight Manager uses these Insight Management Agents to facilitate software update tasks.

VCRM provides a graphical view of the Windows and Linux PSPs that are stored in a repository and can be configured to automatically update the repository with the latest software from HP.

VCA can be configured to point to a repository being managed by the VCRM, enabling easy version comparison and software updates.

For more information about version control tools, see the HP Systems Insight Manager Help Guide and the HP Version Control Installation Guide on the HP Systems Insight Manager website at http:// www.hp.com/go/hpsim.

Creating a centralized, network-based software repository

Deploying PSPs and individual components from a centralized, network-based software repository saves time and standardizes software maintenance and deployment procedures on Windows- and Linux-based systems.

For maximum flexibility across operating system platforms, locate the software repository on a Windows shared network drive. The repository can be updated from the HP website (through an admin server), or Microsoft Explorer.
