HP Smart Update Manager 4.1.0 User Guide

Introduction 8
• A local administrative system with 512 MB of memory
• Sufficient hard-drive space of at least twice the file size of the components to be deployed
• WMI enabled
• All remote host servers connected to the same network and use TCP/IP to enable the systems to be
seen by the administrative system
• An account with administrator privileges on each host server
HP recommends that the user name and password for the administrator account on each host server
are 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 for each remote server available.
Alternatively, you can use a domain account on the local administrative system that has
administrator privileges on the host servers.
• The beginning and ending IP addresses entered for the range of hosts (targets) must be on the same
subnet.
• To install firmware on HP Integrity BL860c/BL870c/BL890c i2 Servers, you must run HP SUM from
an x86 or x86 Linux machine. You cannot deploy firmware on a Windows Integrity system from a
Windows Integrity system.
NOTE: HP Smart Update Manager requires a true Administrator login and not an elevated
RUN AS Administrator. If you are unable to perform the net use * \\server\ADMIN$ for
Microsoft Windows® target servers, you do not have sufficient privileges to run HP Smart
Update Manager.
NOTE: When attempting to use the remote deployment functionality of HP SUM on any
edition of Windows Server® 2008 or Windows Vista®, you must ensure that the File and
Print Services feature is enabled and that the File and Print Services exception has been
enabled in the Windows® firewall. Failure to do so prevents HP SUM from deploying remote
Windows® target servers.
