HP ProLiant WS460c HP Smart Update Manager 5.3.5 Release Notes (Ed. 3) - Page 10

• For Linux deployments, a root equivalent user account must be used. • SSH support must be enabled and the firewall opened to allow SSH communications on remote Linux servers or HP SUM cannot 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 Linux firewall. IMPORTANT: HP SUM has limited cross-platform deployment support. Deployments from Windows to Linux are supported, but deployments from Linux to Windows are not supported. VMware firmware The following must be true to update a VMware ESXi 5.0 target: • The target must be running VMware ESXi 5.0 or later. • The target must be active on the network so HP SUM can detect it. • You are not attempting to run HP SUM on the VMware ESXi 5.0 or later target. You cannot execute HP SUM locally to update a VMware ESXi 5.0 target. • You are executing HP SUM on a Windows or Linux host computer. • The VMware server must be running hp-smx-provider-500.03.01.2-434156 or later. You can get the bundle from one of the following locations: ◦ Version 1.3.5 or later of the HP Insight Management WBEM Provider offline bundle. You can download the bundle from the HP Online Depot at http://vibsdepot.hp.com. ◦ The provider is included in version 5.25 of the HP Custom Image. You can download the HP Custom Image ISO from the Custom VMware ESXi Image for HP ProLiant Servers website at http://www.hp.com/go/esxidownload. 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 target 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. The SOAP server that HP SUM launches uses ports 443 or 63006. You can define your own ports by modifying the hpsum.ini file. 1. Open hpsum.ini in a text editor. You can find the file in the same folder as the HP SUM application. 2. Look for the following lines: PORT=443 AlternatePort=63006 3. Change the AlternatePort to a port free of another web service. NOTE: For security reasons, HP recommends that you leave the main port as port 443.
