The only current limitation of HP SUM in a Linux IPv6 environment is that all remote target Linux-based

servers must have the iptables-ipv6 RPM file installed. You can find the file on the distribution media

for both Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating systems. HP

SUM uses this file to open a port in the IPv6 firewall to communicate with the Linux system that

runs HP SUM. Failure to install iptables-ipv6 results in HP SUM reporting a discovery failure unless

you disable the firewall.

Network ports used by HP SUM

HP SUM requires that certain network ports are available for proper operation. If you lock down

network ports, remember to ensure that the ports listed in the network port tables are open so that

HP SUM works correctly when connecting to remote target servers and hosts. If you are unable to

unlock these network ports, the only option is to run HP SUM locally and update network-based

hosts, such as the OA, iLO, and VC, through their web interfaces.

The SOAP server that HP SUM launches uses ports 443 or 63006. You can define your own ports

by modifying the hpsum.ini file.

1. Open hpsum.ini in a text editor. You can find the file in the same folder as the HP SUM

application.

2. Look for the following lines:

Port=443

AlternatePort=63006

3. Change the AlternatePort to a port free of another web service.

NOTE: HP does not recommend changing the main port from port 443.

Table 2 HP SUM Windows network ports

DescriptionPorts

A secure data port used to transfer information.Port 443

Connects to the remote ADMIN$ share on target servers.

These are the standard ports Windows servers use to

Ports 445 and 137/138/139 (Port 137 is used only if

you are using NetBIOS naming service.)

connect to the 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.

Default for some internal communications. This port listens

on the remote side if there is no conflict. If a conflict occurs,

the next available port is used.

Port 62286

Logs are passed to the target and retrieved through an

internal secure web server that uses port 80 if it is

Ports 80 or 63000–63006

available. If it is not available, the Web server uses first

available port in the range of 60000-63005. This support

allows updates of the iLO and VC firmware without the

need to access the host server. It also allows the servers to

run VMware or other virtualization platforms to update the

iLO firmware without requiring a server reboot or a

migration of the virtual machines to other servers.

NOTE: HP SUM attempts to determine if a server running

HP SUM also hosts a web server. In some cases, HP SUM

cannot detect an existing web server and attempts to use

port 80. If this occurs, installations that are using HP SUM

will fail. If failure occurs, you can move HP SUM to another

server or workstation that is not already running a web

server. You can also disable the web server until HP SUM

installations are complete.
