Return codes
HP SUM has consolidated return codes from Linux and Windows® smart components into a new, enhanced
return code mapping. These return codes determine the status of the component installation. You can also use
return codes in a script to control the execution of the script and determine any required branching.
In Linux, the negative return codes are reported. These return codes are determined by subtracting the
negative value from 256.
To view the installation log file locations, see "Viewing the installation results."
