Introduction to ciscocm.hpasm-7.8-install.cop.sgn
This certified COP file integrates HP ProLiant server hardware monitoring capabilities into Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.x environments. Designed under Cisco’s Collaboration Flex program, it enables real-time health checks of HP blade servers through SNMPv3 while maintaining compliance with Cisco’s Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL) and HP iLO 5 security standards. The digitally signed package validates hardware status parameters including thermal sensors, RAID arrays, and power supply units through CUCM’s Serviceability Dashboard.
Released on February 28, 2025, this build supports organizations running hybrid Cisco-HP infrastructure with CUCM 14.0(2)SU4 or later. It resolves critical CVE-2024-32895 vulnerabilities identified in previous HP ASM integration modules.
