scanning software from denying service to the application. The SOAP server is deployed on the remote
target using the initial ports described above (ports 138, 445, and 22) and then allocates another
independent port as documented below for its communications back to the workstation where HP Smart
Update Manager is running. During shutdown of HP Smart Update Manager, the SOAP server is
shutdown and removed from the target server, leaving the log files.
To deploy software to remote targets on their secure networks using HP Smart Update Manager, the
following ports are used.
For Windows®
Ports Description
Ports 445 and 137/138/139
(Port 137 is used only if you are
using NetBIOS naming service.) These ports are needed to connect to the remote ADMIN$ share on
target servers. These are the standard ports Windows® servers use to
connect to remote file shares. If you can connect remotely to a remote
Windows® file share on the target server, then you have the right
ports open.
Ports 60000-60007 Random ports are used in this range to pass messages back and forth
between the local and remote systems via SSL. These ports are used
on the system running HP Smart Update Manager to send data to the
target server.
Several internal processes within HP Smart Update Manager
automatically use the port from 60000 when no other application
uses it. If there is a port conflict, the manager uses the next available
one. There is no guarantee that the upper limit is 60007 as it is
dependent on how many target devices are selected for installation.
Ports 61000-61007 These ports are used from the target server back to the system running
HP Smart Update Manager. The same mechanism is used by the
remote access code as the 60000 ports, with the first trial port as
61000. There is no guarantee that the upper limit is 61007 when a
conflict occurs. For the case of ipv4-only and one NIC, the lowest
available one is used by HP Smart Update Manager to pass
information between processes on the local workstation where HP
Smart Update Manager is executed, and the next available one is
used to receive messages from remote servers.
Port 62286 This port is the default for some internal communications. It is the
listening on the remote side if there is no conflict. If a conflict occurs,
the next available one is used.
Ports 80 or 63000-63005 The logs are passed to the target and the logs are retrieved via an
internal secure web server that uses port 80 if it is available or a
random port between 63000 and 63005, if it is not. This support
allows updates of the iLO firmware without the need to access the
host server and allows servers running VMware or other virtualization
platforms to update their iLO without the need to reboot their server
or migrate their virtual machines to other servers.
For Linux
Port Description
Port 22 This port is establishes a connection to the remote Linux server via
SSH.
