To deploy software to remote targets on their secure networks using HP SUM, the following ports are used.

Ports

Description

 

 

Port 22

This port establishes a connection to the remote Linux server using SSH.

 

 

Ports 60000-60007

Random ports are used in this range to pass messages back and forth between the local

 

and remote systems using SSL. These ports are used on the system running HP SUM to

 

send data to the target server.

 

Several internal processes within HP SUM automatically use the port from 60000 when

 

no other application uses it. If a port has a conflict, the manager uses the next available

 

port. HP does not guarantee that the upper limit is 60007 because the limit depends on

 

how many target devices are selected for installation.

 

 

Ports 61000-61007

These ports are used to communicate from the target server to the system running HP SUM.

 

The same mechanism is used by the remote access code as the 60000 ports, with the first

 

trial port as 61000. The upper limit might not be 61007 when a conflict occurs.

 

In the case of IPv4-only and one NIC, the lowest available port is used by HP SUM to pass

 

information between processes on the local workstation where HP SUM is executed, and

 

the next available port is used to receive messages from remote servers.

 

 

Port 62286

This port is the default for some internal communications. This port is listening on the remote

 

side if a conflict does not exist. If a conflict occurs, the next available port is used.

 

 

Ports 80 or

The logs are passed to the target, and the logs are retrieved using an internal secure web

63000-63005

server that uses port 80 (if available) or a random port between 63000 and 63005, if

 

port 80 is not available.

 

This support enables updates of the iLO firmware without the need to access the host server

 

and enables servers running VMware or other virtualization platforms to update their iLO

 

without rebooting their server or migrating their virtual machines to other servers.
