Switching between legacy SUM and next-generation SUM from SPP

About this task

Use this procedure to switch between legacy SUM (12.x) and next-generation SUM (20.x) from the mounted SPP. Use the launch_sum.sh for Linux or launch_sum.bat for Windows script to switch between SUM and next-generation SUM.

IMPORTANT

Legacy SUM and next-generation SUM maintain separate application data repository, including server inventories and firmware baseline repositories. Servers and firmware baselines added, created, or imported in one application are not available in the other.

Switching between these two applications does not migrate, synchronize, or share configuration data. Any changes made in one application are not reflected in the other.

Procedure

  1. Run one of the following scripts from the mounted Service pack for HPE ProLiant (SPP):

    • For Linux: launch_sum.sh

    • For Windows: launch_sum.bat

  2. Select the required options:

    • Option 1 - SUM: To launch to legacy SUM.

      TIP
      The option is available for Gen10, Gen10 Plus, Gen11, and Gen12 servers.

    • Option 2 - SUM: To launch to next-generation SUM.

  3. Use Up Arrow or Down Arrow, or enter 1 or 2, and then press Enter to confirm the selection.
  4. Verify that the currently running SUM service stops automatically.

    • If next-generation SUM is running, the next-generation SUM service stops before SUM starts.

    • If SUM is running, the SUM service stops before next-generation SUM starts.

  5. Optional. If the service does not stop automatically, manually stop the service.

    • For next-generation SUM, follow this procedure to stop the service.

    • For SUM, navigate to the directory from which SUM was launched, and use the command: smartupdate shutdownengine.

  6. Verify that the selected SUM version starts successfully.
    TIP
    If the selected SUM is not installed, it is installed automatically before the service starts.
  7. Verify that the default web browser opens the application UI at: https://localhost:63002.

Results

The selected SUM version starts and is ready to use.
