Inter-target dependency

HP SUM finds potential targets by checking the OA host server list for all targets you add. HP SUM
asks you if you want to add the potential targets it found, and does dependency checking for these
servers.

Dependency checking

Dependency checking is an integral function of creating a supported configuration before HP SUM
deployment. During this process, HP SUM ensures that the requirements for a component or target
update are met. These include system requirements (for example, libraries and services) for the
component, target, or associated devices of the target have compatible software and firmware
revisions. This process is initiated automatically and silently after the HP SUM discovery process
and it involves:
1. Checking the dependencies of component /target/ or devices associated with targets. Examples
of dependency checking include:
Health component requirement for installation of the SNMP Agents
Required operating system libraries
Compatibility of OA, VC, and iLO firmware versions
2. Indicating if there is a dependency failure. Failures are displayed in the HP SUM GUI, and
also saved in a log file.
To resolve any dependencies that were indicated during this process, review the logs and correct
the failures. After resolving the dependencies, restart the HP SUM application.
NOTE: For Superdome 2 servers that do not support online firmware updates, power down all
Superdome 2 partitions in the complex. If you do not power down all the partitions, a Failed
Dependencies error appears. On the Select Devices screen, click Ignore Warnings, and HP SUM
powers down the partitions for you after you begin the installation process.

Target types

Supported target types include:
Server–a local host or a remote server. For example, Server — Windows, Server — Linux,
Server — UX.
iLO
Onboard Administrator
Virtual Connect
Superdome 2 Onboard Administrator
VMware Host
