Hello,
Sure that's possible is it a Gen8 or higher or a Gen7 or lower ?
Did you try HP SUM to deploy software or firmwares on multiple Systems?
It is a pain and keeps crashing all the time. The Gui is not very userfriendly.
Did you try HP One View? It is early alpha, not useable in a productiv enviroment.
Hello,
Did you install the agents here ?
This is just the Insight Manager Agents, you would also need the System Management page.
Hello What is the type model of hardware you use ? This way i can search the website.
We run HPSUM on the local servers one at a time with Altiris or HP RDP for that matter.
I don't work at HP but there is a new version, i don't use it yet because as you said it'still needs work. So no argument there.
You don't need to have the VCRM for seeing the installed software. The datacollection collects/does that for you and you can report from the report fuction in SIM.
Here are the H/W models
server rx4640
server rx2600
I understand HP SUM is replacing HP VCRM/VCAs.
It was so much nicer in System Insight Manager with VCRM/VCAs to manage and view statuses of multiple machines without having to continually re-input information to the software.
In HP SUM everytime I launch it it clears out my baseline, nodes, and node groups. How can I retain settings so I can simply launch HP SUM to view the status of a system or update?
Thank you in advance!
Does 7.X.X.X version of HP SMH/VCRM supports 2.1.X.X version of HP SMH/VCA?
Hello,
What is the hardware type ? If it's a Gen8 or hogher you need to install the Agentless Managmenet Agent. This software can be found here : http://h20564.www2.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?sp4ts.oid=5177951&swItemId=MTX_05d34f4a9cc84230ada3590ea8&swEnvOid=4168
For this to work corectly you also need to configure SNMP on the ILO. If your server is a Gen 7 or earlier you need to install the WBEM agent, the SNMP agent is the older agent and the WBEM is preferred. The WBEM agent can be found here :
You would also need a System Management Homepage on the older servers, this can be found here :
Hope this helps for you. If you need more info on configuring let me know.
Hello,
No it does not. The older VCA can't connect ot the newer SMH. You would need to update the VCA first to be able to connect to the server containing the VCRM. The other option could be to install an older SMH on one server, make it the VCRM server and let your VCA's connect to that older SMH to update the servers. Be aware that the old SMH contains security issues like Open SSL.
Hello Andrew,
Does new version (7.X) of HP SMH/VCA supports Itanmium 64 bit systems (running Win2K3)?
I think current versions of HP SMH/VCA for these systems given as 2.1.X.X in HP site, can you confirm?
Hello,
just look at this general documenatation library
In particular on page 18 ff. "Changing the hpsum.ini file" should explain what vou need.

My first experiences with HPSUM are not really good, but with HPSUM you are able to update drivers for vSphere online.
Under Linux mostly working fine, under windows not really good if not using the administrator account (UAC) (must be equal on both remote and local server)
I am missing VCA/VCRM.
With this tools i can have a quick view to the server firmware/driver status over the smh without the need to start a separate tool.
