Smart Update Manager Remote Host Installation

[DCC_SAN]

Since upgrading PSP deployment from setupC to HP SUM we find that SUM cannot reconnect to the PSP source after installing a Broadcom driver. Therefore the install stops leaving several updates still to be installed. Only if you run SUM for a second time does it install the remaining updates. The SUM application and psp all reside in the same remote folder location.

That's because the new driver gets applied and you loose connectivity.

I will see if there is some workaround on this.

Thanks !!!

OK Thanks - I'm sure that our old silent installs using setupC used to reconnected to the source folder and complete the psp installation after the NIC driver update.

hi

I think this is related to that issue
Advisory: Remotely Installing Network Drivers on ProLiant Servers Running Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008 Systems May Cause HP Smart Update Manager to Stop Responding

it says versions 8.10 or earlier would not be a surprise for me if the problems still remains in version 8.11 (I have not tested it)

bye

The advisory is interesting, although even with a static address and any other unused network adatpters disabled we still get the Smart Update Manager finishing prematurely and sitting at the 'Installations Results' screen without any 'Sataus'
