I got around this by downloading the full (not just Windows) ISO and copying the contents to a temp folder on my HDD. I then went to the baseline library and browsed for the swpackages folder (in my case C: HPSPP hp swpackages). I started at the root of C: and drilled down to swpackages, because leaving it at its default location (already at swpackages) didn't work.

After doing that and clicking 'Add', a baseline was added to my Baseline Library, and I could use it to do an inventory. I have run into another issue that I haven't worked through yet regarding analysis and deployment.
I can analyse, but the deploy button never becomes clickable. If anyone has a fix for this, please let me know.

This is completely crazy. I have this problem: ' Controller with Flash-Backed Write Cache from Halting During Power-On Self Test with POST Error 1783 After a Power Loss' but the solution listed is to run an.online.
flash firmware update - obviously an imposssible task if the controller isn't responding. I found an offline update which could work.
But its an.scexe, with no indication of how to install it. So I fell back to trying the hpsum offline utility.
And have been banging my head against what has got to be one of the most unfriendly, impossible to use tools I've ever found. Whats wrong with a simple button 'Update my server' or a list of updates with 'install me' buttons.
This baseline rubbish is totally incomprehensible and the tool just plain doesn't work. Nothing seems to let me add the obligitory baseline - without any indication of what its actually looking for.
Didn't they consider that someone may not have a baseline to start with? Bizarrely I had downloaded a version called HPSUMCB620.20140130.11.iso, which was a sprightly 545Mb. Here in this thread everyone is saying we should download version 201402 - which weighs in at no less than 3.2Gb! What on earth happened over the course of a month or two between the two versions?
This is truly a ridiculous process. The '1, 2, 3 automatic update' simply doesn't work without a bunch of undocumented clicking trying to figure out how the heck to add a baseline - even the latest version of the support pack 20140421. This process, and its big brother HPSUM are a complete FAIL. Every time I attempt to update drivers/firmware of a server I end up burning an hour just trying to figure out how to start the update process. The previous spp system actually worked, and was simple. Let's go back to that.
I decided to testrun HP SUM 6.3.1 on my Notebook running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit. I copied “swpackages” from my bootable USB stick with SPP 2014.02.0 to C:, like in C: swpackages 2. I copied hpsum631 to C., like in C: hpsum631 Subsequently I ran hpsum.batch (C: hpusm631 hpsum hpsum.bat). This opens an Internet Browser on, clicked on the icon Baseline Library clicked on Add Baseline Under Location Details I clicked on Browse and pointed to C: swpackages. Click on Add and the Baseline is populated with all the packages from swpackages. This takes quite some time!
I repeated exactly the same steps on my HP ML350 Server running Windows Server 2008 SP2 64bit as mentioned above. Hpsum.bat starts in an Internet browser. However when I click on Add Baseline, nothing happens. The question now is: why is it that under Baseline Library the Baseline refuses to be added when I click on Add Baseline.
It does not land on the page with Location Details. I have to correct my previous email where I stated: 'The question now is: why is it that under Baseline Library the Baseline refuses to be added when I click on Add Baseline. It does not land on the page with Location Details.'
I DOES land in the page with Location Details, with Location Type and Location Details. Unter Location Type I choose the default 'Browsw HP SUM server path' Unter Location Details, I click on Browse. But it stops there and returns to the initial page. When I do it in my test invironment Notebook with Windows 7 Enterprise- 64bit, it all goes fine and I am able to browse to the directory with e.g. The recently published Maintenance Service Bundle for SPP. I am pretty sure that tje problem it is related to the Internet Explorer settings.
I have Internet Explorer 9 running on my HP Server with Windows Server 2008 SP2 - 64 bit. But which settings in Internet Explorer 9 cause the Browse function not to start? Which settings have to be applied to allow the Browse function to start properly? Anything to do with ActiveX Controls? Anything related to MSXML?
Please note that I read the Smart Update Manager User Guide v 6.3.0. The trouble shooting page does not cover the problem as described above. Anyone of HP who can give feedback? On my HP Server I decided to choose under Location Type: Download from hp.com (instead of 'Browse HP SUM server path' Under Location Details, I entered: c: temp I clicked on the Retrieve Button (which changed to Blue, after I had entered c: temp under Location Details.and again nothing happened. It also returned to the Home Page of HP Smart Update Manager 6.3.1.
I am flabbergasted. I am very sure that it's Internet Explorer 9 Security Settings related. Or the Advanced Settings under Internet Explorer 9.
