To get the most out of the HP Performance Tuning Framework, a network connection is required. Hewlett-Packard will update the Framework periodically to add new configuration features and application support, and the certification data must be updated regularly as new workstations, graphics cards, and drivers are released and certified. These updates can only occur via the internet.
Certification Database
Each time the Framework is started, it compares its local version of the database with the one on the Framework server. If it finds the local copy is not up to date, it will replace it with the latest.
Framework
The database contains information about the latest available version of the Framework, which is also checked each time the Framework is run. If the Framework finds that its version is not the latest, it will prompt for permission to update itself. If accepted, the newer version will be downloaded, installed, and launched
