connects to the admin$ share, it copies a small service to the target server for the duration of the
installation. After this service starts, HP Smart Update Manager uses this service to communicate between
the local and remote target server. During this process, HP Smart Update Manager opens ports in the
Windows® firewall to enable HP Smart Update Manager to use SOAP calls over SSL to pass data among
local and remote systems. These ports are defined in Allowing ports in HP Smart Update Manager
(" Enabling ports in HP Smart Update Manager " on page 101 ). After the installation is completed or
canceled, HP Smart Update Manager stops the remote service, removes it from the target server, closes
the port on the Windows® firewall, and then releases the share to the target server admin$ share.

installation. After this service starts, HP Smart Update Manager uses this service to communicate between
the local and remote target server. During this process, HP Smart Update Manager opens ports in the
iptables firewall to enable HP Smart Update Manager to use SOAP calls over SSL to pass data between
the local and remote systems. These ports are defined in Allowing ports in HP Smart Update Manager
(" Enabling ports in HP Smart Update Manager " on page 101 ). When the installation is completed or
canceled, HP Smart Update Manager stops the remote service, removes it from the target server, closes
the port in the iptables firewall, and then closes the SSH connection to the target server.
