The Linux Deployment Utility provides an easy and efficient method to upgrade and manage system software. The utility enables you to deploy and maintain ProLiant Support Pack software on local servers through use of the terminal window and on remote servers through use of the ssh (secure shell) utility. The Linux Deployment Utility is shipped with the Linux ProLiant Support Pack, which is available on the SmartStart CD. The Linux Deployment Utility enables you to install components or ProLiant Support Packs in-place, but not remotely.

The Linux Deployment Utility parses the .XML files associated with each component and verifies whether the installation of those components is supported on the specific environment. The components that are supported for installation are listed with a status icon indicating whether the component should to be installed, and whether it should be configured. Configuring or preconfiguring the HP SMH component is optional.
