Table 2 HP SUM Windows network ports (continued)
Description Ports
Connects to the remote ADMIN$ share on node servers. These are the standard
ports Windows servers use to connect to the remote file shares. If you can Ports 445 and 137/138/139 (Port
137 is used only if you are using
NetBIOS naming service.)
connect remotely to a remote Windows file share on the node server, you
have the correct 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
Updates are passed to the node and retrieved through an internal web server
that runs by default on port 63001 for localhost http traffic and port 63002 Ports 63001–63002
for local and remote secure https traffic. This allows iLO and VC firmware
updates without having 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.
Remote HP Integrity iLO and Superdome 2 updates require these ports to be
open on systems for network traffic in both directions to transfer firmware files.
You can use these FTP ports to perform switch updates. Ports 21 or 63006–63010
Table 3 HP SUM Linux network ports
Description Ports
Establishes a connection to a remote node via SSH to perform node inventory. Port 22
A secure data port used to transfer information. Port 443
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
Updates are passed to the node and retrieved through an internal web server that
runs by default on port 63001 for localhost http traffic and port 63002 for local Ports 63001–63002
and remote secure https traffic. This support allows iLO and VC firmware updates
without having to access the host server. It also allows servers running VMware or
other virtualization platforms to update their iLO without having to reboot their
server or to migrate their virtual machines to other servers.
Remote HP Integrity iLO and Superdome 2 updates require these ports to be open
on systems for network traffic in both directions to transfer firmware files.
You can use these FTP ports to perform switch updates. Ports 21 or 63006–63010
NOTE: HP SUM 6.x supports /port and /ssl_port options. This allows you to use ports other
than 63001 and 63002. Use these options to avoid conflicts with firewalls. HP SUM supports
--open_firewall
on Linux systems only. HP SUM uses the iptables command to open the
HTTP and HTTPS ports used by HP SUM for external access. Open these ports for remote node
functionality and for remote browser access. For example:
hpsum /port80 /ssl_port 443
Beginning with HP SUM 6.3.0, you can use the command /ftp_port to assign which port to
use for FTP service. By default FTP port is disabled. Use the command to enable the service.
Special network configuration note for HP Integrity servers
HP Integrity servers have management network and production interfaces. These are usually kept
on separate subnets in an installation. To perform full remote administration of the server, access
is required for both networks. If you keep both networks isolated, you need to perform management
and operating systems tasks separately.
