Building NIC Source RPMs

You must have the following RPMs, required only on the local Linux system running HP SUM to perform builds
of NIC source RPMs:

gcc-2.96-108.1 or later

kernel-devel (This RPM is required for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x. Install the kernel-devel in
addition to any kernel-specific devel package such as kernel-xen-devel or kernel-PAE-devel.)

kernel-syms

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).

Supported deliverables overview

HP SUM support is specific to the deliverable in which it is delivered. Make sure you use the correct version

of HP SUM that is released along with the deliverable supporting the environment.

NOTE:

Not all functionality is available in each version of HP SUM. Before using HP SUM that

comes with a deliverable, review the Support and limitations ("
