HP Smart Update Manager 6.0.1 Release Notes (Ed. 3)

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.x:
1. Navigate to the directory that holds HP SUM.
2. Double-click port_targets.bat (Windows) or port_targets.sh (Linux).
Running the script from the command line
Script syntax:
port_targets.bat [/y] [/h] [/script] [/user {username} /password {password}
The script supports the following options:

Drivers and/or enablement kits must be installed prior to detecting and updating some hardware and
firmware. There are several scenarios when HP SUM might need to be run twice for all firmware
components to be presented for installation. This is due to a requirement that drivers are needed for
HP SUM to discover some hardware and thus the needed firmware. After the drivers are installed for
the first time and the system rebooted, HP SUM needs to be run again for all of the firmware components
to be presented for installation. The scenarios are:
