Version 5.2.0 HP SUM overview HP SUM is a technology you can use to update firmware and software on HP ProLiant servers, and firmware on HP Integrity servers. The HP Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) and HP Integrity Smart Update Firmware bundles include the version of HP SUM that HP recommends using for the set of updates. HP SUM updates servers, enclosures, and other components in your server environment.
Enhancements • Support for updating VMware servers • New Installed Updates report Fixes The following known issues have been resolved in this version of HP SUM: • HP SUM might show HP High Performance iLO 2 Mouse X Driver for Linux as a valid component for an operating system that does not support the mouse driver • HP SUM might show the status of HP ProLiant Dynamic Smart Array RAID controller driver for Windows 2008 x64 as Not Updated Already Current after performing an installation.
• All remote targets must be visible on the network by the administrative system running HP SUM • An account with administrator privileges on each target server • ◦ HP recommends that the user name and password for the administrator account on each target server be the same as those on the local administrative system. If administrator privileges are not set up in this manner, you must have the user name and password available for each remote server accessible.
• gawk 3.1.0-3 or later • sed 3.02-10 or later • pciutils-2.1.8-25.i386.rpm or later Be sure that the following platform-specific compatibility libraries are also installed.
NOTE: No X console in either x86 or x86_64 servers. To run HP SUM in silent mode, you must install the base server with defaults and the following RPMs. ◦ ◦ • Load the hp-snmp-agents rpm and rpms based on hp snmp agent: – lm_sensors-libs-3.1.1-10.el6..rpm – net-snmp-libs-5.5-27.el6..rpm – net-snmp-5.5.27.el6..rpm To build Linux drivers from source: – kernel-headers-2.6.32-71.el6..rpm – redhat-rpm-config-9.0.3-25.el6.noarch.rpm – kernel-devel-2.6.32-71.el6..
• For Linux deployments, a root equivalent user account must be used. • SSH support must be enabled and the firewall opened to allow SSH communications on remote Linux servers or HP SUM cannot 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 Linux firewall. IMPORTANT: HP SUM has limited cross-platform deployment support.
Table 2 HP SUM Linux network ports Ports Description Port 22 Establishes a connection to the remote Linux server via SSH. For Integrity servers, HP SUM uses this port to discover target settings. Port 443 A secure data port used to transfer information. Port 62286 Default for some internal communications. It listens on the remote side if there is no conflict. If a conflict occurs, the next available port is used.
