HP Smart Update Manager 5.1 Release Notes
Enable the network ports that HP SUM uses. For more information, see the Enabling ports section in
the HP Smart Update Manager User Guide.
Minimum requirements for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 servers
• Ensure that each NIC has an IP address assigned. To get the IP address assigned to a NIC, enter
the dhclient command in the console, which launches the NIC interfaces and retrieves an IP
address. If a NIC does not have an IP address, HP SUM appears to hang on start up.
• RHEL6 console mode
NOTE: No X console in either x86 or x86_64 servers. To run HP SUM in silent mode, you must
install the base server with defaults and the following RPMs.
