HP Smart Update Manager 6.4.1 Release Notes

Table 1 HP SUM Windows network ports (continued)
DescriptionPorts
Connects to the remote ADMIN$ share on node servers. These are the standard
ports Windows servers use to connect to the remote file shares. If you can connect
Ports 445 and 137/138/139 (Port 137
is used only if you are using NetBIOS
naming service.) remotely to a remote Windows file share on the node server, you have the correct
ports open.
This port is used for VMware WBEM discovery. Make sure this port is not blocked
on the VMware ESXi or VMware vSphere host.
Port 5989
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.
Port 62286
Updates are passed to the node and retrieved through an internal web server
that runs by default on port 63001 for localhost http traffic and port 63002 for
Ports 63001–63002
local and remote secure https traffic. This allows iLO and VC firmware updates
without having to access the host server. It also allows the servers to run VMware
or other virtualization platforms to update the iLO firmware without requiring a
server reboot or a migration of the virtual machines to other servers.
Remote HP Integrity iLO and Superdome 2 updates require these ports to be
open on systems for network traffic in both directions to transfer firmware files.
You can use these FTP ports to perform switch updates.Ports 21 or 63006–63010
Table 2 HP SUM Linux network ports
DescriptionPorts
Establishes a connection to a remote node via SSH to perform node inventory.Port 22
A secure data port used to transfer information.Port 443
This port is used for VMware WBEM discovery. Make sure this port is not blocked on

is no conflict. If a conflict occurs, the next available port is used.
Port 62286
Updates are passed to the node and retrieved through an internal web server that
runs by default on port 63001 for localhost http traffic and port 63002 for local and
Ports 63001–63002
remote secure https traffic. This support allows iLO and VC firmware updates without
having to access the host server. It also allows servers running VMware or other
virtualization platforms to update their iLO without having to reboot their server or to
migrate their virtual machines to other servers.
Remote HP Integrity iLO and Superdome 2 updates require these ports to be open on
systems for network traffic in both directions to transfer firmware files.
You can use these FTP ports to perform switch updates.Ports 21 or 63006–63010
NOTE: HP SUM 6.0.0 and later supports /port and /ssl_port options, which allow 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 6.3.0, you can use the command /ftp_port to assign which port to use
for FTP service. By default FTP port is disabled. Use the command to enable the service.
Changing the port address in the hpsum.ini file
You can change the default ports in the hpsum.ini file, instead of using the /port or /ssl_port
parameters.
