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).
You can also run the scripts from the command line.
Script syntax:
port_targets.bat [/y] [/h] [/script] [/user {username} /password
{password}
The script supports the following options:
DefinitionOption
Continue the migration without using prompts./y
Print the script help./h
This option creates a file with the migration commands, it
does not run the script. You can edit the script commands
manually before migrating the targets.
NOTE: Use this option to select the targets you migrate,
or edit the user credentials for an individual target.
/script
This options sets a default username and password
credentials for each node that HP SUM migrates. If you do
/user {username} /password {password}
not use this option, each node is given the following
credentials:
• user=username
• password=passwd
Migrating nodes from 6.x to 6.3.0
Nodes you added to HP SUM 6.0.1 and 6.2.0 must be upgraded before you can use them in HP
SUM 6.3.0. Use the script hpsum_migration to perform the migration at any time.
1. From the HP SUM directory, launch hpsum_migration.bat (Windows) or
hpsum_migration.sh (Linux).
2. HP SUM displays a list of previous versions of HP SUM it finds. Select the versions you want
to migrate to HP SUM 6.3.0.
HP SUM migrates the nodes that you have entered in the earlier version of HP SUM.
Deploying HP SUM
HP SUM and SPP Boot environment change
Beginning with HP SUM 6.2.0 and HP SPP 2014.02.0, the HP USB Key Utility no longer supports
multi-boot setups on a single device. HP SUM and SPP ISOs contain signed parts to work with the
UEFI bootloader. This change no longer allows for multi-boot setups on a single device, such as a
USB key.
