NOTE: When attempting to use the remote deployment functionality of HP SUM on any edition of Windows Server 2008, you must ensure that the File and Print Services feature is enabled and that the File and Print Services exception has been enabled in the Windows firewall. Failure to do so prevents HP SUM from deploying remote Windows target servers. To successfully deploy HP SUM on target systems based on a Linux operating system, the following must be available: • A local administrative system with 512 MB of memory • glibc 2.2.4-26 or later • • gawk 3.1.0-3 or later • sed 3.02-10 or later • pciutils-2.1.8-25.i386.rpm or later To successfully update HP SUM on remote target systems, the following must be available on the remote server, or on the host server where HP SUM is running: • tcl-8.x package • expect-5.x package To successfully execute HP SUM on any local or remote target systems running a SUSE Enterprise Linux 11 operating system on x86 or x64 architectures, the following library must be available: • compat • compat-32bit Or any other compatibility library that provides the /usr/lib/ libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 file. Without this library, HP SUM cannot complete discovery and returns Discovery Failed messages. These libraries are not included on the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 media and must be downloaded or updated through system updates from Novell. Download the compat (for x32 installations) or compat-32bit RPM from the Novell support site or using yast2. This requires a valid subscription. To perform Linux deployments, you must use a root equivalent user account. SSH support must be enabled and firewall opened to enable SSH communications on remote Linux servers or HP SUM is not able to deploy updates. By default, SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10 and 11 block SSH support through the firewall. To enable SSH support if it has been disabled in the firewall, use the yast2 command to open the necessary ports in the firewall. For more detailed information, see the HP Smart Update Manager User Guide at www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation. Enhancements • Ships with HP SUM 5.1.0, which allows cross-platform installation and simultaneous installations of remote hosts. The HP SUM 5.1.0 Release Notes are available on the HP SUM Information Library at http:// www.hp.com/go/hpsum/documentation. • A new Failed Dependency report is now available when you generate other reports. • The report format has been changed.
