successfully. (Prerequisite RPMs and platform-specific compatibility libraries are listed in the “Minimum requirements for Microsoft Windows PSP” (page 8) section).

NOTE: When building source RPMs into binary RPMs and deploying them to remote targets, HP SUM validates the target operating system and kernel matches the local kernel on which the source RPM is being built. To bypass this verification process, you can build source RPMs into binary RPMs and add them to the location where HP SUM is started. These pre-built RPMs can be deployed to any target regardless of the installed kernel version. Before deploying the RPM in a production environment, HP recommends testing the RPMs on a non-production server running the targeted kernel.

IMPORTANT: Before deploying software updates on a target system, be sure that a recent backup of the target system is available in the event the deployment procedure fails.

For PSP installation for Linux servers:

•A local administrative system with 1 GB of memory

•glibc 2.2.4-26 or later

•gawk 3.1.0-3 or later

•sed 3.02-10 or later

•pciutils-2.1.8-25.i386.rpm or later

The following RPMs are also required:

•On Red Hat servers:

◦ rpm 4.0.4 or later

◦

◦

rpm-build 4.0.4 or later

rpm-devel 4.0.4 or later

•On SUSE Linux servers:

◦rpm 3.0.6or later

To successfully deploy HP SUM on remote target systems based on a Linux operating system, the following must be available:

•tcl-8.x package

•expect-5.x package

In addition, components that are compiled from source code (such as NIC drivers) require the presence of the following build tools:

•gcc-2.96-108.1 or later

•cpp-2.96-108.1 or later

•binutils-2.11.90.0.8 or later

•glibc-devel-2.2.4-26 or later

•kernel-headers-<version>(the version number depends on which kernel is used) To install using the GUI option, you must have the following RPMs:

•gtk+ -1.2.10-11 or later

•gtk- engines -0.11-3 or later
