Troubleshooting 101

The following is an example of the output trace in the OpMan.trace on how to determine if a component was

prevented from being shown on the Select Items to Install screen or being deployed from the silent console
mode. In the example, the binary image files 0.bin and 1.bin (which represented iLO firmware files),

components cp011301.exe and cp011500.exe, and the HP BladeSystem Firmware Update Bundle for

Windows represented by bundle file bp000648.xml were added to the installation set. All the other

components were removed for various reasons.

Troubleshooting connection errors

If you are receiving an HP SUM Connection Error or Discovery Failed messages, follow these troubleshooting

tips:

Ensure your workstation does not have an existing connection to the ADMIN$ share on the target IP
address. If it does, it prevents HP SUM from connecting to the remote server’s share because Windows
only allows one connection from a client to a server’s share. This can be verified by entering net use

at a command prompt. If a share to the target IP address \admin$ share exists, delete it, and then

attempt the installation again.

Ensure that the target IP address server’s admin$ share is accessible. Validate the target server can be
accessed by entering net use x: \\<ip_address_or_dns_name>\admin$ for the target server

IP address or DNS name. When the connection is validated, ensure that it is deleted by entering net

use x: /d at the command prompt.

Ensure the user ID being used to connect to the target IP address server is part of the administrator’s

group. If it is not, HP SUM blocks installation to the target.

Ensure WMI is enabled and running on all Windows target servers.

For Windows target servers, enter the username in DOMAIN\USER format, where <user> is the

administrative username, and <domain> is either the NETBIOS computer name or the AD domain

name for this user account.

For Linux, ensure the SSH port is not blocked.
