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 Ports Port 22 Port 443 Ports 445 and 137/138/139 (Port 137 is used only if you are using NetBIOS naming service.) Port 62286 Ports 63001-63002 Description Establishes a connection to a remote node via SSH to perform node inventory. A secure data port used to transfer information. 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 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. 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 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
