I have recently installed HPE's SUM (Smart Update Manager) on a dedicated Linux VM using their provided RPM. I have been able to successfully load a node/physical server in to the interface, download and install an SPP baseline image, assign that baseline to the node, and inventory and update the node. All is going well, however, I'd like to start applying the hotfixes that I get notified about from HPE's Security Bulletin emails, but I am struggling trying to get them loaded in to SUM.
I found documentation where it says these are "Additional Packages" and I see the section in the web UI where I can specify the location, but adding in that location just returns the error "Please select a valid additional package." The PDF that comes with the install says that the additional packages option is a directory that contains the files, but not much more on loading the packages.
Things I've tried that have failed:
- created a directory within the baseline directory and moved the fwpkg file in and then pointed the web UI to the directory; also pointing directly to file.
- doing the same two steps above but with a directory outside of the baseline directory
- putting fwpkg file loose within the baseline in hopes that it would get picked up, or included with the existing baseline
So, I am kind of stuck as to loading these hotfix files in to SUM and getting them applied. I was under the impression that I would be making a small local repository of hotfixes that I could apply to this server, and eventually to other servers/nodes that I load in.
Thank you for any suggestions!
