Limitations of IPv6 for Linux The only current limitation of HP Smart Update Manager in a Linux IPv6 environment is that all remote target Linux-based servers must have the iptables-ipv6 rpm file installed. You can find the file on the distribution media for both Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating systems. HP Smart Update Manager uses this file to open a port in the IPv6 firewall to communicate with the Linux system that runs HP Smart Update Manager. Failure to install iptables-ipv6 results in HP Smart Update Manager reporting a discovery failure unless you disable the firewall. Server virtualization detection and support HP SUM, running in the context of a Windows® PSP or ISP, supports server virtualization that runs on a Windows® host. However, HP SUM, running in the context of a Windows® PSP, does not run on a VMware host or on a guest operating system environment regardless of what host hypervisor you use. HP SUM, running in the context of the HP Smart Update Firmware DVD, does not support server virtualization that runs on a Windows® or Linux host and blocks attempts to install firmware from a guest or child virtual machine. The server virtualization does not run on a VMware host or on a guest operating system environment regardless of which host hypervisor you use. The HP Smart Update Firmware DVD does not boot to a guest operating system environment. Advanced topics 60
