NOTE: The following versions listed are needed as a minimum. Later versions of these might be
used as well.
NOTE: Ensure that each NIC has an IP address assigned. To get the IP address assigned to a
NIC, enter the dhclient command in the console, which enables the NIC interfaces and
retrieves an IP address. If a NIC does not have an IP address, HP SUM appears to hang on start
up.
o RHEL6 console mode
NOTE: No X console in either x86 or x86_64 servers. To run HP SUM in silent mode, you must
install the base server with defaults and the following RPMs.
