Version 6.3.1 Update recommendation This is a required update. Supersedes HP SUM versions 6.0.1, 6.2.0, and 6.3.0 have been replaced with HP SUM version 6.3.1 because a potential security vulnerability, CVE-2014-0160, has been found. HP SUM version includes an affected OpenSSL version with the vulnerability known as "Heartbleed" that could be exploited remotely resulting in disclosure of information.
Mode Description includes add nodes and baselines, deploy nodes, get component logs, and generating reports. For more information, see the HP Smart Update Manager User Guide, or issue the command hpsum /h from the directory where you saved HP SUM. Operating systems and devices HP SUM deployment The following table describes which operating systems run HP SUM, and to which nodes HP SUM can deploy updates.
Supported bundles • HP SPP and related supplements – The minimum HP SPP version is • HP Integrity bundles – HP SUM supports all currently released HP Integrity bundles Supported browsers • Internet Explorer version 9 or 10 • Firefox version 17 ESR (Linux) and version 18 (Windows) or later • Chrome version 24 or later • Screen resolution of 1024 x 768 Supported host operating systems HP SUM supports running on the following operating systems: • Windows 2008, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Serv
• /lib64/libm.so.6 • /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 • /lib64/libc.so.6 • /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 NOTE: Components also have dependencies which need to be met. HP SUM may not be aware that there is a missing library dependency until it attempts to deploy the component. This may occur for a limited number of cases. If you view a Return Code = 7 error in the component log file, you are likely running on a 64-bit Linux operating system and don’t have the required 32-bit dependencies on your system.
• samba ◦ • uuidd ◦ • /usr/bin/ipmitool sudo ◦ • /usr/bin/ps ipmitool ◦ • /usr/bin/uuidd procps ◦ • /usr/bin/ntlm_auth /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/model Windows • WLDAP32.dll • OLEAUT32.dll • RPCRT4.dll • KERNEL32.dll • USER32.dll • SHELL32.dll • ole32.dll • ADVAPI32.dll • WS2_32.dll • GDI32.dll HP-UX • /usr/bin/swlist • /usr/bin/swinstall VMware ESXi operating systems You can update servers running VMware vSphere 5.
NOTE: • You cannot execute HP SUM locally to update a VMware vSphere node. The VMware server must be running hp-smx-provider-500.03.01.2–434156 or later. Download the providers for the appropriate version of VMware vSphere release from one of the following locations: ◦ Version 1.3.5 and later of the HP Insight Management WBEM Provider offline bundle. You can download the bundle from the HP Online Depot at http://vibsdepot.hp.com. ◦ The provider is included in version 5.
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.
NOTE: HP SUM 6.x supports /port and /ssl_port options. This allows you to use ports other than 63001 and 63002. Use these options to avoid conflicts with firewalls. HP SUM supports --open_firewall on Linux systems only. HP SUM uses the iptables command to open the HTTP and HTTPS ports used by HP SUM for external access. Open these ports for remote node functionality and for remote browser access. For example: hpsum /port 80 /ssl_port 443 Beginning with HP SUM 6.3.
3. 4. Refresh by using the command, esxcli network firewall refresh. Repeat the steps for port 63002. Special network configuration note for HP Integrity servers HP Integrity servers have management network and production interfaces. These are usually kept on separate subnets in an installation. To perform full remote administration of the server, access is required for both networks. If you keep both networks isolated, you need to perform management and operating systems tasks separately.
Downloading HP SUM from the HP website 1. 2. 3. Launch a web browser. Go to http://www.hp.com/go/hpsum/download. Click on the file that you want to download: • HP Smart Update Manager ISO – The HP SUM ISO contains HP SUM and a bootable ISO environment. Firmware and Software components can be added to create a customized baseline. • HP Smart Update Manager RPM – The HP SUM RPM is a native package for Linux and is also available on the Software Delivery Repository at http://downloads.linux.hp.
Filename (.bat or .sh) Description hpsum_migration Migrates node location and name from earlier versions of HP SUM to the current version of HP SUM. port-targets Migrates node location and name from HP SUM 5.x to the current version 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.linux.hp.com/SDR/project/hpsum/.
Launching HP SUM in GUI mode from an ISO Runs HP SUM on a Windows or Linux operating system. 1. Copy the files from the ISO to your local host. 2. Open Start.html, found in the root directory, in a supported browser. 3. Follow the directory on the screen. NOTE: If you are running HP SUM from an ISO that contains updates, the directory might contain a large number of files.
• For help with the legacy CLI, see the Using legacy scripts to deploy updates chapter of the HP Smart Update Manager User Guide. You can also type hpsum /h /s from the directory where you saved HP SUM. • For help with the text-based console, see the Console Commands chapter of the HP Smart Update Manager User Guide. You can also type hpsum /h from the directory where you saved HP SUM. Migrating nodes from 6.x to 6.3.0 Nodes you added to HP SUM 6.0.1 and 6.2.
General Drivers and/or enablement kits must be installed prior to detecting and updating some hardware and firmware - HP SUM might need to be run twice for all firmware components to be presented for installation 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.
NOTE: HP SUM creates this directory the first time you launch HP SUM. If you have not launched HP SUM, launch it and then shut it down. 2. 3. 4. Open the file in a text editor, and edit the following items in the [HTTP] section. • port=63001 edit to port=80 • ssl_port=63002 edit to ssl_port=443 Save the file. Launch HP SUM. It now uses the 80 and 443 ports.
HP SUM displays the error message “Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user...” HP SUM uses the admin$ share function on Windows-based servers to copy files and perform required operations on remote node servers. If HP SUM detects multiple connections to the remote Windows node, it might display “Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed.
HP SUM displays an error when it inventories WBEM and FCHBA components on VMware nodes Suggested Action: No action. This indicates that the VMware WBEM provider might be stopped or hung. HP SUM displays “Update returned an error” when deploying the HP ProLiant Converged Network Utility for Windows 2008 (component cp022111.exe) Suggested Action: No action. This will be resolved in a future version. HP SUM stops responding when it attempts to deploy component cp020538.exe Suggested Action: No action.
HP SUM does not deploy Brocade switch firmware updates greater than 7.2.0 if MAPS is enabled Suggested Action: Disable MAPS before upgrading firmware to versions greater than 7.2.0. HP SUM unexpectedly quits running if it tries to pull a component from the web that does not exist Suggested Action: No action. This will be resolved in a future version. HP SUM reports incorrectly that a baseline was not deleted in Console mode Suggested Action: No action necessary. This will be fixed in a future version.
HP SUM 6.x does not configure Insight Management SNMP Agent components Suggested Action: HP SUM applies the default configuration settings for the component. Review and update the Insight Management SNMP Agents after HP SUM finishes installing the component. HP SUM does not save configuration settings for SNMP components Suggested Action: Configure SNMP settings outside of HP SUM and then copy the components to the baseline.
HP SUM generates XML report files in Console Mode if no report type is selected Suggested Action: Choose the report type that you want to generate. HP SUM generates blank XML reports in Console Mode if no parameters are selected Suggested Action: No action necessary. This will be fixed in a future version. HP SUM displays the session ID, not the node name, on the Activity screen when generating a report Suggested Action: No action necessary. This will be fixed in a future version.
