Repositories are the directories that contain the SPP, bundles, and individual smart components HP SUM uses to update targets. Bundles are groups of firmware and software components that HP releases. HP SUM allows you to choose one or more repositories and check the HP FTP site for the latest versions of the components.

The Current Repositories table displays:
Name—This field displays the repository name. Select the repositories you want to use by clicking the checkbox next to the repository name. If you want to edit a repository, highlight the entire line to activate the Edit and Remove buttons.
HP SUM automatically creates a repository named Default and scans it for updates. This repository is the folder that holds the HP SUM application.
The HP FTP site (ftp://ftp.hp.com) contains the latest versions of the firmware and software components available from HP. The components are available for selection on the Review/Install Updates screen. When using this method, both firmware and software components are available for selection. The components are not downloaded from ftp://ftp.hp.com to a target until the Install button is clicked unless the component is needed to discover supported devices. If components are needed for discovery, you are prompted to allow this action. The ftp://ftp.hp.com check box is cleared by default. To pull updates from the web, click the ftp://ftp.hp.com check box. If HP SUM has downloaded a component, HP SUM does not download it again. This repository cannot be edited except to set the repository filter.
