Version 6.0.1 Update recommendation Required update to HP SUM 6.3.1. Supersedes HP SUM version 6.0.1 has been replaced with HP SUM version 6.3.1 because a potential security vulnerability, CVE-2014-0160, has been found. HP SUM version 6.0.1 includes an affected OpenSSL version with the vulnerability known as "Heartbleed" that could be exploited remotely resulting in disclosure of information.
Mode Description includes add nodes and baselines, deploy nodes, get component logs, and generating reports. For more information, see the HP Smart Update Manager User Guide, or issue the command hpsum /h from the directory where you saved HP SUM. Operating systems and devices HP SUM deployment The following table describes which operating systems run HP SUM, and to which nodes HP SUM can deploy updates.
Supported bundles • HP SPP and related supplements – The minimum HP SPP version is 2012.10.0 • HP Integrity bundles – HP SUM 6.0.
• /lib64/libm.so.6 • /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 • /lib64/libc.so.6 • /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 NOTE: Components also have dependencies which need to be met. HP SUM may not be aware that there is a missing library dependency until it attempts to deploy the component. This may occur for a limited number of cases. If you view a Return Code = 7 error in the component log file, you are likely running on a 64-bit Linux operating system and don’t have the required 32-bit dependencies on your system.
• samba ◦ • uuidd ◦ • /usr/bin/ipmitool sudo ◦ • /usr/bin/ps ipmitool ◦ • /usr/bin/uuidd procps ◦ • /usr/bin/ntlm_auth /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/model Windows • WLDAP32.dll • OLEAUT32.dll • RPCRT4.dll • KERNEL32.dll • USER32.dll • SHELL32.dll • ole32.dll • ADVAPI32.dll • WS2_32.dll • GDI32.dll HP-UX • /usr/bin/swlist • /usr/bin/swinstall VMware ESXi operating systems You can update servers running VMware vSphere 5.
NOTE: • You cannot execute HP SUM locally to update a VMware vSphere node. The VMware server must be running hp-smx-provider-500.03.01.2–434156 or later. Download the providers for the appropriate version of VMware vSphere release from one of the following locations: ◦ Version 1.3.5 and later of the HP Insight Management WBEM Provider offline bundle. You can download the bundle from the HP Online Depot at http://vibsdepot.hp.com. ◦ The provider is included in version 5.
Updates for most node types require network traffic in both directions between the server running HP SUM and the node. The server running HP SUM creates a local HTTP server, which is used to serve firmware binaries to the node and to communicate node status. The remote node issues HTTP requests and posts status updates to the server running HP SUM during the update process.
NOTE: HP SUM 6.x supports /port and /ssl_port options. This allows you to use ports other than 63001 and 63002. Use these options to avoid conflicts with firewalls. HP SUM supports --open_firewall on Linux systems only. HP SUM uses the iptables command to open the HTTP and HTTPS ports used by HP SUM for external access. Open these ports for remote node functionality and for remote browser access. For example: hpsum /port 80 /ssl_port 443 Beginning with HP SUM 6.3.
3. 4. Refresh by using the command, esxcli network firewall refresh. Repeat the steps for port 63002. Special network configuration note for HP Integrity servers HP Integrity servers have management network and production interfaces. These are usually kept on separate subnets in an installation. To perform full remote administration of the server, access is required for both networks. If you keep both networks isolated, you need to perform management and operating systems tasks separately.
Fixes The following fixes are in this version of HP SUM: • HP supports deploying components over an IPv6 network • HP SUM deploys components successfully to remote nodes running a Linux operating system • HP SUM reports contain information for remote nodes. • You can set the Custom Baseline version in supported browsers on the Custom Baseline screen. • You can log into HP SUM and access existing data if HP SUM logs out a user due to timing out on Windows hosts.
NOTE: Linux file permissions for script and binary files must be modified to add execute mode. Installing HP SUM from the ISO or RPM does not require setting file permissions. ◦ /hpsum ◦ /gatherlogs.sh ◦ /clean-cache.sh ◦ /port_targets.sh ◦ /hpsum_migration.sh ◦ /x64/hpsum_bin_x64 ◦ /x64/hpsum_service_x64 ◦ /x64/hponcfg ◦ /x86/hpsum_bin_x86 ◦ /x86/hpsum_service_x86 ◦ /x86/hponcfg NOTE: These downloads do not include software or firmware.

Online vs offline mode Mode Uses Online The installation occurs while the host processor is running in the normal server environment. For example, if the server runs Microsoft Windows Server 2012, the update occurs under this environment. The update does not require you to boot to a special environment to update the firmware. You might need to reboot the node to activate the firmware. Offline In offline mode, the HP SUM boots a small Linux kernel and enables updates to occur on a single server.
HP SUM migrates the node address and name that you have entered in the earlier version of HP SUM. Migrating nodes from HP SUM 5.x to HP SUM 6.x HP provides scripts that migrate the targets you added to HP SUM 5.x into nodes that HP SUM 6.x recognizes. If you want to edit the targets that you migrate to HP SUM 6.x, use the /script parameter. This generates a file that you can edit with a text editor application. NOTE: The migration script does not support sudo credentials. To migrate nodes to HP SUM 6.
1. 2. 3. 4. When performing online updates with HP SUM on a fresh installation of a supported Windows or Linux OS, all of the appropriate drivers are listed on the Review/Deploy screen but all of the applicable firmware components might not be listed. Network Adapters (NICs), Host Bus Adapters (HBAs), and iLO require a driver or enablement kit to be installed in order to be recognized by HP SUM.
1. Navigate to the hpsum.ini file in the temp directory, %temp%\HPSUM (Windows) or /tmp/ HPSUM (Linux). NOTE: HP SUM creates this directory the first time you launch HP SUM. If you have not launched HP SUM, launch it and then shut it down. 2. 3. 4. Open the file in a text editor, and edit the following items in the [HTTP] section. • port=63001 edit to port=80 • ssl_port=63002 edit to ssl_port=443 Save the file. Launch HP SUM. It now uses the 80 and 443 ports.
1. 2. 3. Open a command prompt window. Type net use. If open connections on the remote node are found, type: net use /delete 4.
