# Node-specific additional details

##

Some nodes have node-specific information required when you add a node.

Windows

  Additional details:

  Enter what you want to do if SUM detects an update process on the node:

  - Leave the update running and bypass the node
  - Stop any currently running update process on the node and replace it with updates from this session
Linux

  Additional details:

  - You can use SSH key credentials for Linux nodes. Enter the Username, Private Keyfile location, and Password (if required). The private key file must use the PEM format.

  - Enter what you want to do if SUM detects an update process on the node:
    - Leave the update running and bypass the node
    - Stop any currently running update process on the node and replace it with updates from this session
  - Select the access level for this node:

    - None

    - Use sudo with credentials entered previously

    - Enter super user credentials

VMware Host

  Additional details:

  Select whether to use administrator credentials or open an authentication ticket with the VMware host of the vCenter. A ticket allows you to update the node regardless of the lockdown mode status.

  If you select Enter vCenter details to get ticket (for authentication to host), enter the IP/DNS, Username, and Password for the host.

  NOTE:

  SUM does not automatically migrate VMware nodes if DRS or HA is enabled. For more information on migrating VMware nodes, see the documentation for HPE OneView for VMware vCenter at https://www.hpe.com/info/ovvcenter/docs.

  NOTE:

  For Gen10 servers running VMware ESXi, iSUT must be installed before adding the node in SUM. Such servers cannot be added in SUM with the host IP address. Instead, the iLO IP address must be used and added as an iLO node type.

Onboard Administrator

  Additional details:

  - Select whether you want to automatically add associated nodes. This adds all nodes in the chassis.

    - If you are updating OAs and iLOs at the same time, select this for OA nodes so SUM detects associated iLO nodes. SUM can determine the proper deployment order when you deploy updates to the OA.

    - If you do not provide credentials, SUM uses the credentials you provide for the OA for associated VCs.

  NOTE:

  If the OA is in FIPS mode, SUM does not support downgrading or rewriting firmware. SUM displays a message and turns off the downgrade and rewrite options.

Superdome X Onboard Administrator

  Additional details:

  No node-specific settings.

Superdome Flex RMC

  Additional details:

  No additional details.

SAS B/L Interconnect Switch

  Additional details:

  Select whether you want to automatically add associated nodes.

Fibre Channel Switch

  Additional details:

  Select whether you want to automatically add associated nodes.

iLO

  Additional details:

  Select whether you want to automatically add associated nodes.

Virtual Connect

  Additional details:

  Some VC options, such as VC Activation order, can be set from the Edit Node or Review/Deploy Node screen.

  NOTE:

  SUM cannot deploy updates to a Virtual Connect node managed by HPE OneView.

  - Select whether you want to automatically add associated nodes.

  - Add the Associated Onboard Administrator credentials.
    - Use credentials above: Uses the same credentials you entered previously.
    - Enter administrator credentials: Enter the credentials if they differ from the credentials you entered earlier.
