Version 6.3.0 Update recommendation Required update to HP SUM 6.3.1. Supersedes HP SUM version 6.3.0 has been replaced with HP SUM version 6.3.1 because a potential security vulnerability, CVE-2014-0160, has been found. HP SUM version 6.3.0 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 2013.09.0 (B) • HP Integrity bundles – HP SUM 6.3.
• /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.
Downloading HP SUM from the HP website 1. 2. 3. Launch a web browser. Go to http://www.hp.com/go/hpsum/download. Click on the file that you want to download: • HP Smart Update Manager ISO – The HP SUM ISO contains HP SUM and a bootable ISO environment. Firmware and Software components can be added to create a customized baseline. • HP Smart Update Manager RPM – The HP SUM RPM is a native package for Linux and is also available on the Software Delivery Repository at http://downloads.linux.hp.
Filename (.bat or .sh) Description hpsum_migration Migrates node location and name from earlier versions of HP SUM to the current version of HP SUM. port-targets Migrates node location and name from HP SUM 5.x to the current version of HP SUM. Downloading HP SUM from the SDR website You can download HP SUM as an RPM from the HP Software Delivery Repository at http:// downloads.linux.hp.com/SDR/project/hpsum/.
Launching HP SUM in GUI mode from an ISO Runs HP SUM on a Windows or Linux operating system. 1. Copy the files from the ISO to your local host. 2. Open Start.html, found in the root directory, in a supported browser. 3. Follow the directory on the screen. NOTE: If you are running HP SUM from an ISO that contains updates, the directory might contain a large number of files.
• For help with the legacy CLI, see the Using legacy scripts to deploy updates chapter of the HP Smart Update Manager User Guide. You can also type hpsum /h /s from the directory where you saved HP SUM. • For help with the text-based console, see the Console Commands chapter of the HP Smart Update Manager User Guide. You can also type hpsum /h from the directory where you saved HP SUM. Migrating nodes from 6.x to 6.3.0 Nodes you added to HP SUM 6.0.1 and 6.2.
General Drivers and/or enablement kits must be installed prior to detecting and updating some hardware and firmware - HP SUM might need to be run twice for all firmware components to be presented for installation Drivers and/or enablement kits must be installed prior to detecting and updating some hardware and firmware. There are several scenarios when HP SUM might need to be run twice for all firmware components to be presented for installation.
Suggested Action: You can ignore the warning, but HP recommends updating to HP SUM 6.3.1 or later if you encounter this warning. HP SUM includes a newer certificate that does not display this warning. HP SUM does not start on ports lower than 1024 if you use the /port or /ssl_port parameters Suggested Action: Use the following instructions to work around the issue: 1. Navigate to the hpsum.ini file in the temp directory, %temp%\HPSUM (Windows) or /tmp/ HPSUM (Linux).
HP SUM might start deploying updates when you click the Analysis button Suggested Action: Click Abort to cancel deployment. This issue will be resolved in a future version. HP SUM displays the message “Generating Report” after you click the Analysis button Suggested Action: No action necessary. This will be fixed in a future version. HP SUM displays logged in user as root when you launch HP SUM using sudo Suggested Action: No action necessary. This 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 displays “Update returned an error” when deploying the HP Fibre Channel Enablement Kit for Linux Suggested Action: View the update log.
HP SUM does not add all associated nodes when a firewall is enabled on Windows 2012 and Windows 2012 R2 operating systems Suggested Action: Make sure you shut down firewalls before adding additional nodes. Baseline issues HP SUM only includes firmware updates when you use the device option filter to create a custom baseline Description: HP SUM does not include software updates if you select the following options: • Component Type: Both or Software.
HP SUM unexpectedly stops running when you disconnect an ISO that contains a baseline that has been added to HP SUM Suggested Action: Do not disconnect from an ISO that contains a baseline that has been added to HP SUM while HP SUM is running. HP SUM adds an empty Additional Package to a baseline if the directory includes a .zip file Suggested Action: Do one of the following: • Do not assign the empty Additional Package to nodes. • Move the .zip file to a directory mapped to a baseline.
HP SUM reports that component cp0205354.exe does not update if you Force or Rewrite it when deploying to an HP ProLiant MicroServer Suggested Action: No action. Deploy this component outside of HP SUM. HP SUM does not deploy Brocade switch firmware updates greater than 7.2.0 if MAPS is enabled Suggested Action: Disable MAPS before upgrading firmware to versions greater than 7.2.0. CLI issues The /use_web legacy CLI command does not work Suggested Action: Use the GUI mode to download baselines from hp.com.
