Version

6.0.1

Description

HP SUM is a technology that installs and updates 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.

•Deployment of software for single or one-to-many HP ProLiant servers (supported in Windows and

Linux environments).

NOTE: HP SUM can update some firmware for VMware vSphere 5.x and later.

The latest version of HP SUM is available on the HP website at http://www.hp.com/go/hpsum.

Operating systems and devices

Prerequisites

IMPORTANT: Before deploying any components to a system, be sure that a recent backup of the

system is available in the event the deployment procedure fails.

Enable the network ports that HP SUM uses. For more information, see “Network ports used by HP

SUM” (page 5).

Prerequisites for using Linux root credentials

•If you have run HP SUM as a root user, remove the temp directory created by HP SUM.

•Make sure you have read/write access permissions to the /tmp and /var directories.

•If you create a sudo user, make sure that you add that user to the /etc/sudoers file. The

following table shows the privileges and specifications for users.

SpecificationPrivilegeUser

ALLALL= (ALL)Root

ALLALL= (ALL)Sudo_user

•Edit the entry in the /etc/sudoers file so the system asks for the sudo user password instead

of root user password when you run the sudo command.

The following table shows the privileges to comment or remove from /etc/sudoers.

SpecificationPrivilegeUser

ALLALL= (ALL)All

This often occurs in SUSE Linux systems.

Description 3

#Defaults targetpw # ask for the password of the target user. For example,

WARNING! Only use this option with Defaults targetpw.

•To use super user functionality, configure the user as a super user with all root privileges. You

can also use non-root user with a root user to update components.

Network ports used by HP SUM

HP SUM requires that certain network ports are available for proper operation. If you lock down

network ports, make sure that the ports listed in the network port tables are open so that HP SUM

works correctly when connecting to remote node servers and hosts. If you are unable to unlock these

network ports, the only option is to run HP SUM locally and update network-based hosts, such as the

OA, iLO, and VC modules, through their web interfaces.

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. If there is a routing

problem or firewall blocking traffic back from the remote node to the system running HP SUM, firmware

updates might be blocked, status updates blocked or delayed, or both.

Table 1 HP SUM Windows 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

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.

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 secure web

server that uses the first available port in the range of 63001-63002. This allows

Ports 63001–63002

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

Operating systems and devices 5

Table 1 HP SUM Windows network ports (continued)

DescriptionPorts

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

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 secure web server

that uses the first available port in the range of 63001-63002. This support allows

Ports 63001–63002

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.x supports /port and /ssl_port options. This allows you to use ports other

than 63001 and 63005. Use these options to avoid conflicts with firewalls.

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.

Migrating nodes from HP SUM 5.x to HP SUM 6.0.1

HP provides scripts that migrate the targets you added to HP SUM 5.x into nodes that HP SUM 6.0.1

recognizes. If you want to edit the targets that you migrate to HP SUM 6.0.1, use the /script

parameter. This generates a file that you can edit with a text editor application.

NOTE: The migration script does not support sudo credentials.

To migrate nodes to HP SUM 6.0.1:

1. Navigate to the directory that holds HP SUM.

2. Double-click port_targets.bat (Windows) or port_targets.sh (Linux).

You can also run the scripts from the command line.

Script syntax:

port_targets.bat [/y] [/h] [/script] [/user {username} /password {password}

The script supports the following options:

DefinitionOption

Continue the migration without using prompts./y

Print the script help./h

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.

/script

This options sets a default username and password credentials

for each node that HP SUM migrates. If you do not use this

option, each node is given the following credentials:

/user {username} /password {password}

•user=username

•password=passwd

Issues and suggested actions

The following are known issues and limitations with HP SUM. For a full list of troubleshooting items

see the HP Smart Update Manager User Guide

HP SUM does not display the download from hp.com button

This version of HP SUM does not support downloading updates from hp.com to add a baseline to the

baseline library. HP SUM will include this function in a future version.

Suggested Action: Download the updates, place them in a directory, and then add the directory as a

baseline in HP SUM.

The /use_web legacy CLI command does not work

Suggested Action: No action. This is a known issue. This version of HP SUM does not support this

command.

HP SUM 6.0.1 does not display nodes or baselines that HP SUM 6.0.0 displayed

Suggested Action: If you ran HP SUM 6.0.0 and added nodes and baselines, manually add the nodes

and baselines to HP SUM 6.0.1. If you ran the port_targets script to migrate HP SUM 5.x nodes

to HP SUM 6.0.0, run the HP SUM 6.0.1 port_targets script to migrate the nodes from HP SUM

5.x. For more information, see “Migrating nodes from HP SUM 5.x to HP SUM 6.0.1” (page 9).

Viewing logs after deploying updates in offline mode

Suggested Action: Run gatherlogs in the HP SUM directory function from a write-able directory.

HP SUM might not display scroll bars or buttons correctly

Suggested Action: Set your screen resolution to 1024 x 768.

HP SUM does not work properly in Internet Explorer 8

Suggested Action: Use Internet Explorer 9 and later.

HP SUM engine stops running when HP SUM is mounted from a virtual media source

Suggested Action: Do not mount a virtual media source through iLO and perform an update of iLO

firmware. A known issue causes the iLO to restart and causes HP SUM to stop working.

Some screens are not translated from English

Suggested Action: No action. This is a known issue that will be fixed in a future version.

HP SUM does not deploy multiple components in legacy CLI mode when listed separately

in one command

Suggested Action: Copy the components into a directory and use the /use_location command. If

you are deploying more than ten components, use the work around.

HP SUM does not build source RPMs

Suggested Action: Build the source RPM outside of HP SUM and then add the RPM to a baseline. After

HP SUM performs inventory on the baseline, it can deploy the RPM. This is how HP SUM designed to

work.
