Overview

The SMS Inventory Tool for HP ProLiant and Integrity Update (ITHU) enables the use of Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003 (SMS 2003) with Service Pack 1, 2, or 3 (SP1 ,SP2, or SP3) ,for management and distribution of HP ProLiant and Integrity server system software, firmware, and complete support packs. The SMS Inventory Tool allows customers that have chosen SMS 2003 to manage HP server inventory and software with the tool they also use to manage operating system software updates.

Customers using SMS will appreciate the intuitive integration of the HP server software catalog within the SMS management structure. The ITHU inventory tool supports all SMS features, including server inventory with adjustable scope, such as filtering by server model or Windows version. It allows remote scanning of HP server software configurations and reporting of the results via standard template reports. The tool also enables management and distribution of complete Support Packs or individual components (drivers, ROM, and software agents) to defined collections of servers. All data is presented through the SMS interface.
