support channel for assistance if the installation of the ERPs is
blocked by any installed CSPs.

After completing the update, HP strongly recommends that you perform
an immediate backup of the system disk so that any subsequent restore
operations begin with updated software. Otherwise, the updates must
be re-applied after a future restore operation. Also, if at some
future time the system is upgraded to a later patch release or
version
release, reinstall the appropriate ERP.
