SUM – SUPERMICRO UPDATE MANAGER
Supermicro Update Manager (SUM) is best suited for mass system deployment, configuration and update, with a feature
scope ranging from the basic BIOS/BMC to peripheral device firmware update and configuration. As a CLI (Command
Line Interface) utility, SUM can execute commands in parallel from a centralized management server, with two channels
available for management: the in-band channel for communication through the local system interfaces and the out-
of-band (OOB) channel for communication through the system BMC. Through the OOB channel, most management
commands can be executed independently of the host OS on the managed system and even without the OS being
installed.
Features SUM
• In-band/out-of-band, single/multiple nodes operation
• BIOS, BMC, CMM, storage, PSU, MB CPLD and other System Nodes
peripheral firmware management capabilities ADMIN
• Parallel management and configuration on multiple
Local Host Single Node In-Band
