Hello,

after upgrading to SUM 8.2.0 we get the following error when calling "smartupdate upgrade":

This happens on DL380 Gen8 and Gen9 servers.

Same thing here :-(

In my case, I have two identical hosts but one has access to Internet and the other does not. The one with access to the Internet can run 'smartupdate upgrade' (8.2.0) perfectly fine , and the other shows the same error as yours, but in an earlier stage:

After some debugging I found out that smartupgrade upgrade wants to start /opt/sum/bin/x64/sum_service_x64.

But this fails with the following error message (and weird debug output?):

# rpm -q sum
sum-8.2.0-53.rhel7.x84_64

With SUM 8.1.0 installed I'm able to start /opt/sum/bin/x64/sum_service_x64 (which opens two ports: 63001 and 63002):

# rpm -q sum

Is it working for you then after downgrading to 8.1.0? If so, does you host have direct access to the Internet?

mschlossarek · ‎03-05-2018

Yes, it works with SUM 8.1.0 and none of our servers have direct access to the internet. tcpdump does not show any attempt to connect to a external IP/URL.

mschlossarek · ‎03-07-2018

Just tried it on our new Gen10 server with RHEL 6 and RHEl 7 - same error.

I installed sum-8.1.0-14.rhel7.x86_64 and still getting the exact same error. I can't spot any other difference than internet access between the hosts which can and the ones that can't run 'smartupdate upgrade'. But I did run tcpdump too and did not see any outbound connections.

Unlike you, I was always able to run sum_service_x64 without any problem, regardless the sum version. So my issue might be slightly different. I have tried running sum_service_x64 and can connect fine to 63001/2, so it's not firewall

I'll keep looking.

on CentOS 6.9 installing sum-8.1.0-14.rhel6.x86_64, got me around the "ERROR: [Errno 111] Connection refused"

I also had to manually remove what appears to be duplicate or miss identifice firmware-smartarray , firmware-nic-intel rpms

JHofmeister · ‎03-16-2018

This might be a hint:

# netstat -anp | grep sum_service
tcp6       0      0 :::63001                :::*                    LISTEN      28189/sum_service_x
tcp6       0      0 :::63002                :::*                    LISTEN      28189/sum_service_x
unix  2      [ ]         DGRAM                    21824581 28189/sum_service_x

tcp6 = ipv6 ; maybe test with ipv6 enabled on an intgerface with sum 8.2.0 installed?

Investigating this issue further at HPE...

Regards, jhofmeister

JHofmeister · ‎03-16-2018

# sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1

# smartupdate
Error: Cannot launch sum_service_x64 locally. Reason: General failure. (failed to open listener)

mschlossarek · ‎03-26-2018

You are right: After activating ipv6, "smartupdate upgrade" works again with SUM 8.2.0. But this is a problem for us because we have disabled ipv6 on every system. Enabling it only for SUM is not really an option.

JHofmeister · ‎03-29-2018

- Implement workaround "enable IPv6" for SUM 8.2
~or~ install SUM 8.1 until fix/resolution.
- Monitor for availability of fix in Sum 8.3.0.

lnux · ‎03-30-2018

This is what I got from HPE as well... you can enable ipv6 or downgrade to hpsum 8.1

Be careful if doing this for GEN10 systems as there are a few firmware udpates that require hpsum8.2

iegen10 and spsgen10 firmware for GEN10 requires hpsum8.2 for correct order of installation...

sum-8.3.0 does appear to fix this issue.
