Some components might have required or optional configuration settings. Configuration parameters can include information necessary to set up the component correctly or passwords required for software installed by the component. The configuration is stored within the component and is propagated to all targets. If the optional configuration data of a component is not provided and the component has not been installed previously, then default values for that configuration data are used. If the component has been previously installed and configured and no changes are made to the configuration data, then the existing configuration information is preserved. Component configuration requires that Smart Components are in a write-accessible location. A CD, DVD, or read-only network share is not supported.
Components you can configure are indicated in the Status column on the Select Sources screen.
Click Configure Components, select the component you want to configure, and then click Configure.
Follow the instructions when the Item Configuration screen appears.
When you finish configuring all the components, click OK to return to the Source Selections screen.

NOTE: If more than one repository contains the same component, HP SUM only uses the component located in the repository closest to the top of the Current Repositories table.
