1 Introduction HP SUM overview HP SUM is a technology included in many HP products for installing and updating firmware and software on HP ProLiant servers, and firmware on HP Integrity servers. HP SUM provides a web-based GUI and a command-line scriptable interface for: • Deployment of firmware for single or one-to-many HP ProLiant and HP Integrity servers and network-based targets such as iLO, OA, and VC Ethernet and Fibre Channel modules.
NOTE: HP SUM does not support third-party controllers. This includes flashing hard drives behind these controllers. • Remote online deployment of I/O Card firmware on HP ProLiant and HP Integrity targets running HP-UX About the graphical user interface HP SUM is a browser-based application. The screenshot below shows the major sections of the screen. NOTE: Do not use the Back button press F5 in your browser window. Item Description 1 Main menu - This menu provides links to all HP SUM screens.
Status icon descriptions HP SUM uses icons to represent the current status of resources and alerts and to control the display. Table 1 Status icons Large icon Small icon Description Critical Failed/Interrupted Warning OK Successful Disabled Unknown An In progress rotating icon indicates a change is being applied or a task is running. HP SUM new terms The following terminology has changed from HP SUM 5.x to HP SUM 6: HP SUM 5.
2 Downloading, installing, and launching HP SUM Downloading HP SUM Downloading HP SUM from the HP SUM website You can download the latest version of HP SUM from the HP SUM website at http://www.hp.com/ go/hpsum. Unzip the file and save it to a directory on your system. NOTE: Do not put HP SUM 6.x files in the same directory as HP SUM 5.3.5 and earlier versions of HP SUM. Downloading HP SUM from the SDR website You can download HP SUM as an RPM from the HP Software Delivery Repository at http:// downloads.
The script supports the following options: Option Definition /y Continue the migration without using prompts. /h Print the script help. /script 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.
For a complete list of HP ProLiant systems and software supported by SPP, and updates available in an SPP release, see the HP Service Pack for ProLiant Release Notes on the HP website: http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation Deploying HP Integrity firmware bundles with HP SUM You can use HP SUM to deploy components delivered with the HP Integrity firmware bundles.
The following table describes when typical HP SUM deployment scenarios are used. Scenario Used when Graphical deployment on a local host • You are not familiar with command line tools. • You are deploying components on a local, single host. • Updates do not require scripting. Scripted deployment on a local host • You are familiar with command line tools. • You are deploying components on a local, single host. • Updates require a customized, scripted deployment.
the BitLocker Drive Encryption can be re-enabled. Once the BitLocker Drive Encryption has been re-enabled, the plain text key is removed and BitLocker secures the drive again. CAUTION: Temporarily disabling BitLocker Drive Encryption can compromise drive security and should only be attempted in a secure environment. If you are unable to provide a secure environment, HP recommends providing the boot password and leaving BitLocker Drive Encryption enabled throughout the firmware update process.
SUM using the sudo command. If you are using Windows Server 2012, you must log in with the Administrator account, or select Run as Administrator. NOTE: Do not open HP SUM in more than one browser tab or window or run HP SUM CLI commands when the GUI is open. For more information about supported browsers, see the HP Smart Update Manager Release Notes, available at the HP Smart Update Manager Information Library, http://www.hp.com/go/hpsum/ documentation.
3 Using the HP SUM GUI Using the Home screen When you launch HP SUM, HP SUM displays the Home screen. From this screen, you can click Guided Update, Baseline Library, or Nodes. There is also a Get Started button that launches Guided Update. To navigate to other screens, use the navigation menu in the upper-left corner. Using the Activity screen The Activity screen provides a brief update of the activities that HP SUM is performing, or has recently performed.
Using Guided Update in Interactive mode 1. 2. 3. 4. In the navigation menu, click Guided Update. Click Interactive. Click OK. HP SUM displays the baseline and the localhost. NOTE: HP SUM automatically starts to take inventory of the baseline and the node. The inventory process duration varies based on the number of updates in the baseline. 5. Click Next after HP SUM finishes the inventory.
Using the Baseline Library screen The Baseline Library screen displays the baselines and additional packages you will use to update your nodes. Baselines include the HP SPP, HP Integrity bundle, or custom baselines that include updates that you select from other baselines or additional packages. Additional packages are directories that hold updates that are not included in a named update package, for example a Hot Fix. HP SUM saves baseline information between sessions.
To add this baseline: Follow these steps: c. Enter the username, required. d. Enter the password, required NOTE: drives. HP SUM does not support mapped UNC Download from hp.com: This location downloads a. Select the location type Download from HP. updates from ftp.hp.com. HP SUM downloads the latest b. Click Browse and use the menu to navigate to the versions of updates that HP has released. directory where you want to save the custom baseline. c. Enter the URI for the proxy server.
5. Select Make Bootable ISO file if you want to create a bootable ISO with your baseline. If you choose to make a bootable ISO, click Browse and choose a directory where HP SUM can find the source for the bootable ISO. The custom baseline bootable ISO includes the version of HP SUM included in the source ISO. For example, if you choose the HP SUM 6 ISO as the source ISO, HP SUM 6 is included in the ISO. If you choose the ISO with the SPP 2013.09.0 as the source ISO, then HP SUM 5.3.
Deleting a baseline HP SUM does not support deleting a baseline if it is associated with a node. To delete a baseline: 1. On the Baseline Library screen, select a baseline. 2. Click Actions→Delete. NOTE: If the baseline is associated with one or more nodes, HP SUM displays a list of the nodes. Edit the nodes to change the associated baseline, or delete the node. For more information, see “Editing a node” (page 25) or “Deleting a node” (page 28). 3.
NOTE: The details that HP SUM displays vary based on the node type. NOTE: If this is the first time you are running HP SUM 6, and have set up targets in HP SUM 5.x, you can use a migration script to populate the Nodes screen in HP SUM 6.0. For more information, see “Migrating nodes from HP SUM 5.x to HP SUM 6” (page 10). Selecting multiple nodes On the Nodes screen, select more than one node by pressing CTRL and clicking the other nodes.
3. 4. Enter a description for the node. In the Type field, select the node type. If you do not know the node type, select Unknown. During the inventory process, HP SUM determines the node type. NOTE: Selecting the correct node type might help HP SUM complete node inventory faster. Some nodes allow you to select the check-box so that HP SUM automatically adds Associated Devices. The associated devices identified varies based on the node type.
Adding a node by searching a range of IP addresses 1. 2. 3. From the Nodes screen, click Add Node. Click Find Nodes. Enter a range of IP addresses for HP SUM to search, and click Search. 4. 5. 6.

4 Using legacy scripts to deploy updates Command-line interface You can use the HP SUM command-line interface to script custom installations. Command-line syntax The general command-line syntax for HP SUM is as follows: hpsum [/h] [/f]:bundle] [/r[eboot] HP SUM with OA requires a user ID and password to log in. The user ID must be an administrator equivalent ID and not an operator or user equivalent level ID. On Windows, use a slash before each argument. On Linux, use a hyphen before each argument.
Switch update commands G7 and earlier servers do not support AMS agents. The following tables show what updates occur when you use the switch agent commands. NOTE: To find out if you have any switches installed, use HP SUM to create the Firmware Details Report. The following table shows what updates occur if no switches are currently installed.
Installation options Description /e or /rewrite Rewrites the current version of firmware for multi-node devices such as hard drives and array controllers (applies to firmware only). /gui Starts a GUI session of HP SUM. /offline_automatic Runs an HP SUM update automatically in offline mode. /offline_interactive Runs an HP SUM update in interactive (GUI) mode. /s[ilent] Causes the installation to run silently with no GUI output. All data writes to the log file.
Installation options Description /allow_update_to_bundle This argument is a filter switch. It enables you to install newer versions of components defined in a PSP, ISP, or firmware bundle. This argument enables these components to replace the older versions of the same component that might have shipped with the bundles. /allow_non_bundle_components This argument is a filter switch.
Installation options Description and are not installed unless this argument is used. When the /use_wmi argument is used, and the /use_snmp & /use_ams arguments are not, the SNMP and AMS components are optional. This argument does not apply to HP Integrity servers. /use_ams Specifies which AMS components can be installed along with SNMP components. The AMS and SNMP components are available to select by default.
Overriding errors Description do not have dependency failures. Force attempts all updates, even if they have dependency failures. Reboot options Description /r[eboot] If the following conditions are met, this argument causes the server (or host server in a remote installation) to reboot: • The /reboot option is selected or given as a command-line argument. • All components selected for installation are successfully installed.
Nodes Description /su_username cannot be used with /use_sudo access level. NOTE: Specifying /targettype linux reduces inventory time for deployments. This is an optional command line argument. /su_password Use root (super user) password to start a session, and inventory and update components when the credentials specified in /username and /passwd do not have root privileges to update components. /su_password cannot be used with /use_sudo access level.
Nodes Description If the node name includes spaces, make sure you enclose the name in quotation marks, “ “. NOTE: /targettype is an optional command line argument. Use /targettype and /target together. /current_credential Enables the credential of the local host to be used as the credential to access the nodes instead of providing the user name and password explicitly for each node. The assumption is that the current credential is valid for the nodes being accessed.
Generating reports Description file name formats of HPSUM_Report__
Superdome 2 server commands Description Example: /device_list npar1,npar2,blade1/1,blade1/2 /reboot_list Use this argument when the /update_type is ALL or PARTITIONS. This argument specifies specific partitions to reboot after the partition firmware has been updated. Valid npar values are npar(number). Do not put any spaces between parameters.
Either of the following command-line inputs can deploy two software components: • hpsum /f:software cp008097.exe cp008257.exe • hpsum /c cp008097.exe /c cp008257.exe /f:software Results: The two components were installed. No firmware or other software was installed.
Windows smart-component return codes Return code Meaning 0 The smart component was not installed. For more information, see the log file. 1 The smart component was installed successfully. 2 The smart component was installed successfully, but the system must be restarted. 3 The installation was not attempted because the required hardware is not present, the software is current, or there is nothing to install.
Return code Meaning 6 The installer cannot run because of an un-met dependency or installation tool failure. 7 The actual installation operation (not the installation tool) failed. Linux RPM return codes Return code Meaning 0 The Linux RPM installation was successful. 1 The Linux RPM installation failed. VMware ESXi smart-component return codes Return code Meaning 0 The installation of the deliverable was successful. No reboot is required.
For parameters that can take list values, list separators can be commas, semicolons, or spaces. NOTE: The credentials can be omitted from the file for greater security and passed on the command line to HP SUM. The only limitation that the user ID and credentials must be the same on all. When the file has been created, to use it with HP SUM, add it as the inputfile parameter to a HP SUM command line. For example, if the name of the input file is hpsum.
Error reporting If errors occur in the input file, HP SUM exits with a return value of –2 (bad parameter). The details of the location and nature of the error are recorded in hpsum_execution_log__.raw.

can specific a repository by using other command-line parameters to generate reports. For specific commands, see “Command-line interface” (page 36). Report type Description Report file information* /report This argument generates a report listing, a node summary, and description of how the components in the repository affect the node. For example, whether each component applies to the node. The following report files are generated: • hpsum_Report_.html • hpsum_Report_.
5 Advanced topics Configuring IPv6 networks You can deploy to remote nodes in IPv6-based networks for Windows and Linux node servers. Using HP SUM with IPv6 networks presents challenges for IT administrators. For Windows-based servers, to communicate with remote node servers, HP SUM uses either existing credentials or the user-provided user name and password to connect to the admin$ share. This share is an automatic share provided by Windows Server.
Table 2 HP SUM Windows network ports (continued) Ports Description Port 62286 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. Ports 63001–63002 Updates are passed to the node and retrieved through an internal secure web server that uses the first available port in the range of 63001-63002. This allows iLO and VC firmware updates without having to access the host server.
6 Troubleshooting Collecting trace directories HP SUM generates a set of debug trace logs located in the %TEMP%\HPSUM directory on Windows systems. These files contain internal process and debug information which can be useful in determining HP SUM failures. The debug trace files are located under %temp%\hp_sum for Windows. The log files are located under C:\cpqsystem\hp\log. These files provide the following information and are appended in each HP SUM session. HP SUM 5.0.
Log Files Function \hpsum_log.txt Contains information of HP SUM discovery, installation status and errors if any. is the name of the target in the source selections screen. Hpsum_detail_log.txt Contains the log data of the components. hpsum.ini Stores persistent data on the user's system. If you are running HP SUM in offline mode, use the following instructions to collect trace directories and logs. 1. 2. Launch HP SUM in offline mode.
HP SUM does not display the Deploy button on the Deploy Nodes screen Solution: Make sure that HP SUM has resolved all dependencies before attempting to deploy updates. If HP SUM discovers a failed dependency, it does not activate the Deploy button. An HP-UX node displays the error Inventory failed. The pciinfo module requires manual update on remote target Solution: Use the following instructions to resolve the error: 1. Close all tasks and back up important data on the node server. 2.
HP SUM displays the message Ready for deployment while HP SUM is performing inventory on a node Solution: Make sure that HP SUM completes an inventory before attempting to deploy updates to a node. HP SUM does not display an entire screen Solution: Change the resolution of a display or browser. HP SUM displays extra credentials boxes on the Edit Node screen Solution: Do not use the boxes beneath the Access Level section.
HP SUM service troubleshooting HP SUM service stops running when HP SUM is mounted from a virtual media source Solution: Do not mount a virtual media source through an iLO. A known issue causes the iLO to restart and causes HP SUM to stop working. HP SUM allows all users to log in Solution: All users can log into HP SUM. Only users with administrator permission can deploy updates or add nodes. Some screens are not translated from English Solution: No action.
