HP SUM to pass information between processes on the local workstation
where HP SUM is executed, and the next available port is used to receive
messages from remote servers.
Port 62286
This port is the default for some internal communications. This port is
listening on the remote side if a conflict does not exist. If a conflict occurs,
the next available port is used.
Ports 80 or 63000-63005
The logs are passed to the target, and the logs are retrieved using an
internal secure web server that uses port 80 (if available) or a random
port between 63000 and 63005, if port 80 is not available.
This support enables updates of the iLO firmware without the need to
access the host server and enables servers running VMware or other
virtualization platforms to update their iLO without rebooting their server
or migrating their virtual machines to other servers.
•
HP SUM is disconnected.
When either iLO or NIC firmware is updated, HP SUM loses the connection and cannot install
components. If an access error occurs, HP SUM cancels the installation.
•
How do I recover from an installation failure?
HP SUM generates a set of debug trace logs located in the %TEMP%\hp_sum directory on
Windows® systems and \tmp\hp_sum on Linux systems. These files contain internal process and
debug information that can help you determine HP SUM failures.
•
How do I reboot when running HP SUM on a Japanese version of Windows®?
You can specify a message to appear before shutting down the system during a reboot operation.
When using a Japanese character set and running on a Japanese version of a Windows® operating
system, the message prevents an automatic reboot. For a successful reboot, you must click Exit.

•
I used the -r flag to reboot the server and one of the components that was installed required a
reboot, but the server did not reboot. What is happening?
If any of the components chosen for installation fails the installation, a reboot does not occur. This
enables the administrator to examine a server to determine and resolve a software installation failure
before activating any changes.
•
When I install storage components and restart the server, there are one or more new entries in the
LILO or GRUB tables for kernels to boot from. Is this normal?
Yes, this is normal. Each storage driver reconnects the driver to the base kernel and adds a new
entry in the LILO or GRUB tables that appear at boot. To ensure that you get the kernel with the latest
drivers, select the last entry in the table.
•
I attempted to install a component that compiles from source code, but the installation fails on the
make command.
