o
kernel-devel (This RPM is needed to build RPMs from source, especially for Red Hat Enterprise
server 5.3 and 5.4. Make sure you install the kernel-devel in addition to any kernel specific devel
package such as kernel-xen-devel or kernel-PAE-devel.)
o
RPM build tools
In addition, components that are compiled from source code (such as NIC drivers) require the presence of
the following build tools:
•
gcc-2.96-108.1 or later
•
cpp-2.96-108.1 or later
•
binutils-2.11.90.0.8 or later
•
glibc-devel-2.2.4-26 or later
•
kernel-headers-<_version_> The version number depends on which kernel is used.
NOTE:
To perform Linux deployments, a root equivalent user account must be used. 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. If SSH support has been disabled in the
firewall, to enable it and open ports, use the yast2 command.
NOTE:
HP SUM is no longer supported on SUSE Enterprise Linux 9.
IMPORTANT:
The HP Smart Update Manager does not support cross-platform deployments
(for example, deployments from Linux systems to Windows® systems).
NOTE:
For a current list of supported operating systems, see the PSP website
.
