The Home page enables you to install Support Packs 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 Support Pack:
Select the Home tab. The Home page is displayed. Click the Install icon next to the item you want to be installed. A component/Support Pack installation page for selecting installation options is displayed. Force Installation. Enables the software to reinstall itself over an existing or newer version.
Note: A downgrade to an older version might not succeed, even though this box is selected. Selecting this box enables the installation to be attempted because normal processing for most components does not attempt to install if a newer version is already present. Automatic Reboot. Enables the HP Version Control Agent to automatically reboot the system if the installation requires a reboot when finished. In the case of a Support Pack installation, this event occurs after all component installations complete without error. If any component installation returns an error result, the reboot will not occur. Inspect the Version Control Agent Log after an installation error to determine whether the system must be restarted. If you do not select Automatic Reboot, look at the log to determine if a reboot is needed. If the log indicates a reboot is required, manually reboot the server for the installations to complete.
Important: When a task completes, be sure to read the details in the log to determine whether a reboot is required.
Click [Install] to begin the installation or [Cancel] to abort the installation and return to the Home page.
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 Support Pack, 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: 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.
