Version 6.2.0 Update recommendation Required update to HP SUM 6.3.1. Supersedes HP SUM version 6.2.0 has been replaced with HP SUM version 6.3.1 because a potential security vulnerability, CVE-2014-0160, has been found. HP SUM version 6.2.0 includes an affected OpenSSL version with the vulnerability known as "Heartbleed" that could be exploited remotely resulting in disclosure of information.
Mode Description includes add nodes and baselines, deploy nodes, get component logs, and generating reports. For more information, see the HP Smart Update Manager User Guide, or issue the command hpsum /h from the directory where you saved HP SUM. Operating systems and devices HP SUM deployment The following table describes which operating systems run HP SUM, and to which nodes HP SUM can deploy updates.
Supported bundles • HP SPP and related supplements – The minimum HP SPP version is 2013.02.0 (B) • HP Integrity bundles – HP SUM 6.2.
• /lib64/libm.so.6 • /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 • /lib64/libc.so.6 • /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 NOTE: Components also have dependencies which need to be met. HP SUM may not be aware that there is a missing library dependency until it attempts to deploy the component. This may occur for a limited number of cases. If you view a Return Code = 7 error in the component log file, you are likely running on a 64-bit Linux operating system and don’t have the required 32-bit dependencies on your system.
• samba ◦ • uuidd ◦ • /usr/bin/ipmitool sudo ◦ • /usr/bin/ps ipmitool ◦ • /usr/bin/uuidd procps ◦ • /usr/bin/ntlm_auth /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/model Windows • WLDAP32.dll • OLEAUT32.dll • RPCRT4.dll • KERNEL32.dll • USER32.dll • SHELL32.dll • ole32.dll • ADVAPI32.dll • WS2_32.dll • GDI32.dll HP-UX • /usr/bin/swlist • /usr/bin/swinstall VMware ESXi operating systems You can update servers running VMware vSphere 5.
NOTE: • You cannot execute HP SUM locally to update a VMware vSphere node. The VMware server must be running hp-smx-provider-500.03.01.2–434156 or later. Download the providers for the appropriate version of VMware vSphere release from one of the following locations: ◦ Version 1.3.5 and 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.
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.
NOTE: HP SUM 6.x supports /port and /ssl_port options. This allows you to use ports other than 63001 and 63002. Use these options to avoid conflicts with firewalls. HP SUM supports --open_firewall on Linux systems only. HP SUM uses the iptables command to open the HTTP and HTTPS ports used by HP SUM for external access. Open these ports for remote node functionality and for remote browser access. For example: hpsum /port 80 /ssl_port 443 Beginning with HP SUM 6.3.
3. 4. Refresh by using the command, esxcli network firewall refresh. Repeat the steps for port 63002. 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.
• HP SUM displays the Force button for components to be updated on nodes running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.10. • HP SUM creates a session on a remote node. • HP SUM Actions menu works after deploying components. • HP SUM generates reports for HP-UX nodes. Downloading HP SUM You can download HP SUM from the HP website or from the HP Software Delivery Repository. NOTE: A copy of HP SUM is delivered with each HP SPP and HP Integrity update bundle.
HP SUM applications Use the following application to run HP SUM, collect logs, migrate nodes, and clear the cache: Filename (.bat or .sh) Description hpsum The HP SUM application. Using the .bat or .sh opens the GUI version of HP SUM. Typing hpsum from the command line runs the legacy CLI or text-based console command. clean-cache Removes the files in the temp directory associated with HP SUM. gatherlogs Collects all logs for HP SUM. Useful in debugging troubleshooting issues for HP SUM.
• GUI mode: Navigate to the directory where you saved HP SUM. Type the command hpsum.bat (Windows) or hpsum.sh (Linux) to start the GUI. • Text-based console mode: Navigate to the directory where you saved HP SUM. From the command line, type hpsum and a console parameter. For a full list of parameters, type hpsum -h (Windows) or hpsum /h (Linux). • Legacy CLI mode: Navigate to the directory where you saved HP SUM. Type an hpsum /s and a legacy CLI parameter.
Launching HP SUM from the RPM • From the HP SUM path, type hpsum. Finding help and user documentation • HP Smart Update Manager User Guide: You can download the user guide from the HP SUM documentation library at http://www.hp.com/go/hpsum/documentation. • HP Smart Update Manager Online Help: In the GUI, you can open the online help by clicking the ? in the right-corner of the application.
Option Definition /script 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. /user {username} /password {password} This options sets a default username and password credentials for each node that HP SUM migrates.
Flash for Brocade Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters - Windows Server 2012 R2 (x64), might incorrectly appear as available for update When updating Windows Server 2012 (non-R2) systems using HP SUM, the following components might incorrectly appear as available for deployment and two driver components and two firmware components might be shown in the HP SUM GUI as available for deployment on Windows 2012 target nodes.
HP SUM engine might stop running when HP SUM is mounted from a virtual media source Suggested Action: If HP SUM stops running during an iLO reset, restart the update and HP SUM checks if any other updates are remaining or if the system is up to date 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 Console mode displays an error when you add the localhost by IP address Suggested Action: No action. When you add the localhost to HP SUM in console mode by IP address, it displays an error adding the IP address. The localhost can only be added by specifying the name, localhost. HP SUM does not update firmware in offline mode when memory is greater than 1 terrabyte Suggested Action: No action necessary. This will be resolved in a future version.
HP SUM displays iLO4 nodes are ready for installation after update is applied Suggested Action: No action. This will be resolved in a future version. HP SUM displays the iLO firmware version as 0.0.0 for Linux nodes Suggested Action: Make sure that the CHIF driver is installed so HP SUM can detect the correct iLO firmware version. This applies to iLO2, iLO3, and iLO4. HP SUM does not install iLO firmware updates when TPM is active Suggested Action: Disable TPM if HP SUM does not apply iLO updates.
HP SUM reports incorrectly that a baseline was not deleted in Console mode Suggested Action: No action necessary. This will be fixed in a future version. This occurs if the baseline you are deleting is in the same directory as additional packages that are not in the baseline. HP SUM does not assign the baseline for a node when added by IP range Suggested Action: Edit the node after it has been added to assign the baseline. This will be resolved in a future version.
HP SUM displays “Update returned an error” when deploying 32-bit Linux components to 64-bit Linux nodes Suggested Action: Install the 32-bit versions of the dependency libraries. For more information, see “Prerequisites” (page 4). HP SUM displays an error on a ProLiant DL580 Gen8 server Suggested Action: For information on this issue, see the Customer Advisory at http:// h20564.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/kb/docDisplay/?docId=emr_na-c04127124.
Help issues HP SUM does not open the CLIHelp.txt file on Linux hosts Suggested Action: Move the CLIHelp.txt file to the doc directory. Type mv /opt/hp/hpsum/bin/assets/doc/text/CLIHelp.txt /opt/hp/hpsum/bin/assets/doc/. User credentials documentation might be confusing Suggested Action: The option Use current credentials is for Windows to Windows systems only. This option does not work for non-Windows nodes.
