HP Smart Update Firmware DVD 10.10 Release Notes

NOTE: When attempting to use the remote deployment functionality of HP SUM on any edition of
Windows Server 2008, you must ensure that the File and Print Services feature is enabled and that
the File and Print Services exception has been enabled in the Windows firewall. Failure to do so
prevents HP SUM from deploying remote Windows target servers.
To successfully deploy HP SUM on target systems based on a Linux operating system, the following
must be available:
• A local administrative system with 512 MB of memory
• glibc 2.2.4-26 or later
• gawk 3.1.0-3 or later
• sed 3.02-10 or later
• pciutils-2.1.8-25.i386.rpm or later
To successfully update HP SUM on remote target systems, the following must be available on the remote
server, or on the host server where HP SUM is running:
• tcl-8.x package
• expect-5.x package
To successfully execute HP SUM on any local or remote target systems running a SUSE Enterprise Linux
11 operating system on x86 or x64 architectures, the following library must be available:
• compat
• compat-32bit
Or any other compatibility library that provides the /usr/lib/ libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
file. Without this library, HP SUM cannot complete discovery and returns Discovery Failed
messages. These libraries are not included on the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 media and
must be downloaded or updated through system updates from Novell.
Download the compat (for x32 installations) or compat-32bit RPM from the Novell support
site or using yast2. This requires a valid subscription.
To perform Linux deployments, you must use a root equivalent user account. SSH support must be
enabled and firewall opened to enable SSH communications on remote Linux servers or HP SUM is
not able to deploy updates. By default, SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10 and 11 block SSH support
through the firewall.
To enable SSH support if it has been disabled in the firewall, use the yast2 command to open the
necessary ports in the firewall. For more detailed information, see the HP Smart Update Manager User
Guide at www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation.
