where does the hpsum store his host and group informations in linux?

[PS-Support T-Systems]

Hi,
we are playing around with hp-SUM to deploy firmware and software (like snmp-agents, hpsmh an so on) so unattended as possible.
(The count for expected installations in productive environment is more than thousand servers ...)
In the hpSUM-GUI we are able to create hosts, groups and so on.
These hosts or groups are usable for scripted deployment via ./hpsum .... ... /group "server". It works.
But, *where* can we found and edit these informations (what file)? The purpose is to create a hostlist automatically und use this for deployment w/o GUI but very scriptable instead.
For windows environments I've heard that these informations may be found in the registry:

but on linux?

additional information:
my try to find out where hosts are stored using some tricks was not successful.

day x:
-set via GUI some hosts
-find / * -mtime 1 -exec ls -l "{}" ";" > /tmp/hosts_added

day y: (date set some days in future)
- remove via GUI the previously set hosts
- find / * -mtime 1 -exec ls -l "{}" ";" > /tmp/hosts_removed

a diff /tmp/hosts_added /tmp/hosts_removed shows only some changes in /var/hp/log

hello,

first of all, i dont know sum :)

but i think linux store it as a string, so why can you try to find a well now value, like host name? you can use grep -R :)

found solution by myself.
strace -ff -eopen ./hpsum did help me ...

the host and group informations were stored in /etc/xdg/Hewlett-Packard/HPSUM.ini

It looks like that:
