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

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. If there is a routing
problem or firewall blocking traffic back from the remote node to the system running HP SUM, firmware
updates might be blocked, status updates blocked or delayed, or both.
Table 1 HP SUM Windows network ports
DescriptionPorts
Establishes a connection to a remote node via SSH to perform node inventory.Port 22
A secure data port used to transfer information.Port 443
Connects to the remote ADMIN$ share on node servers. These are the standard
ports Windows servers use to connect to the remote file shares. If you can connect
Ports 445 and 137/138/139 (Port 137
is used only if you are using NetBIOS
naming service.) remotely to a remote Windows file share on the node server, you have the correct
ports open.
This port is used for VMware WBEM discovery. Make sure this port is not blocked
on the VMware ESXi host.
Port 5989
Default for some internal communications. This port listens on the remote side if
there is no conflict. If a conflict occurs, the next available port is used.
Port 62286
Updates are passed to the node and retrieved through an internal web server
that runs by default on port 63001 for localhost http traffic and port 63002 for
Ports 63001–63002
local and remote secure https traffic. This allows iLO and VC firmware updates
without having to access the host server. It also allows the servers to run VMware
or other virtualization platforms to update the iLO firmware without requiring a
server reboot or a migration of the virtual machines to other servers.
Remote HP Integrity iLO and Superdome 2 updates require these ports to be
open on systems for network traffic in both directions to transfer firmware files.
You can use these FTP ports to perform switch updates.Ports 21 or 63006–63010
