HP Smart Update Manager 5.3.5 Release Notes (Ed. 3)

On HP SUM for Windows, iLO installed firmware version will show as None, if the Channel
Interface Driver is not installed
When updating a system using the HP SPP, on the Select Bundle or Select Component page, the iLO
firmware will show None as the installed version and Ready for Installation as the status, if
the iLO Channel Interface Driver is not installed. The firmware might fail to update if it is already
current.
Suggested action: To view the installed version of the iLO firmware via HP SUM, install the iLO Channel
Interface Driver.
You cannot use HP SUM to deploy Virtual Connect (VC) firmware if one of the following
conditions applies
1. If the VC is in one of the following states:
• Unhealthy VC module
• Non-redundant VC configuration
• Not all VC modules are part of a domain
2. If you want to:
• Manually choose the order of component deployment
• Back-up the configuration before flashing the VC firmware
3. Downgrade the VC firmware.
Suggested action: Use HP Virtual Connect Support Utility (VCSU) to perform the update or downgrade.
NOTE: If the VCs are managed by HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager (VCEM), they must first
be put into maintenance mode before HP SUM can perform the VC firmware updates. After they are
in maintenance or firmware mode, HP SUM 5.2.0 and higher, and HP SPP 2012.8.0 and later, can
be used to update them. After the update, put the VCs back into normal production mode.
Virtual Connect (VC) update stops after discovery and installation never begins if the Onboard
Administrator (OA) credentials are different from the VC credentials
VC update stops after discovery and installation fails to initiate if the OA credentials are different from
the VC credentials.
Suggested action: Use HP SUM in GUI mode. This issue only occurs when using the command line
and Input File modes for HP SUM.
HP SUM on a Linux system cannot find Smart Components if they are in a directory path that
contains spaces
If a directory with spaces in the name is created, and a bundle is extracted to that directory, HP SUM
cannot find any components when the directory is added a repository.
Suggested action: Rename and remove the spaces in the directory path name. This issue does not
occur if the bundle is extracted to a different directory without spaces and then copied to a directory
with spaces.
HP SUM does not run in command line mode without the X libraries
HP SUM needs the graphics or X libraries to run from the command line.
Suggested action: Install the X libraries to run HP SUM from the command line.
HP SUM reports port 80 might be blocked and the target is unable to retrieve files from the
HP SUM host
If HP SUM cannot connect to a network target, the Installation Log will display the following:
