Description
HP SUM is a technology that installs and updates firmware and software on HP ProLiant servers, and
firmware on HP Integrity servers.
HP SUM provides a web-based GUI and a command-line scriptable interface for:
• Deployment of firmware for single or one-to-many HP ProLiant and HP Integrity servers and
network-based targets such as iLO, OA, and VC Ethernet and Fibre Channel modules.
• Deployment of software for single or one-to-many HP ProLiant servers (supported in Windows and
Linux environments).
NOTE: HP SUM can update some firmware for VMware vSphere 5.x and later.

Operating systems and devices
Prerequisites
IMPORTANT: Before deploying any components to a system, be sure that a recent backup of the
system is available in the event the deployment procedure fails.
Enable the network ports that HP SUM uses. For more information, see “Network ports used by HP
SUM” (page 5).
Prerequisites for using Linux root credentials
• If you have run HP SUM as a root user, remove the temp directory created by HP SUM.
• Make sure you have read/write access permissions to the /tmp and /var directories.
• If you create a sudo user, make sure that you add that user to the /etc/sudoers file. The
following table shows the privileges and specifications for users.
SpecificationPrivilegeUser
ALLALL= (ALL)Root
ALLALL= (ALL)Sudo_user
• Edit the entry in the /etc/sudoers file so the system asks for the sudo user password instead
of root user password when you run the sudo command.
The following table shows the privileges to comment or remove from /etc/sudoers.
SpecificationPrivilegeUser
ALLALL= (ALL)All
This often occurs in SUSE Linux systems.
