For Linux operating systems, these files are located in subdirectories named according to the IP
address of each host in the /var/hp/log subdirectory of the local host. The directory containing the
local host information is named localhost instead of being named after the IP address.
There is a new file that contains detailed information on the execution of HP Smart Update Manager.
•
For Windows® operating systems, the filename is
C:\cpqsystem\hp\log\hpsum_execution_log_
•
For Linux operating systems, the filename is /var/hp/log/hpsum_execution_log_
NOTE:
Using the offline environments provided by the Firmware Maintenance CD and HP
BladeSystem Firmware Deployment Tool results in the log files being written to the Linux
location.
HP Smart Update Manager also creates trace logs of its installation that can be used to debug problems.
These trace files are located in the following places:
•
For Windows Server® 2003/XP/Vista, %TEMP%\hp_sum\.
•
For Windows Server® 2008, %TEMP%\
•
For Linux, /tmp/hp_sum.
HP Smart Update Manager creates a separate trace log for each target server. These are captured in
subdirectories under the trace log directories. The directories start with Target_0, Target_1, and so forth.
These contain the target specific trace information. No passwords or sensitive data is stored in this trace
logs.
Multiple-host installations using the GUI
HP Smart Update Manager provides an easy-to-use graphical interface that enables you to deploy and
maintain firmware components. To access HP Smart Update Manager, see "Deployment options (on page
)." After you start HP Smart Update Manager, the Source Selection screen ("
" on page
) appears which allow you to specify where the components that you want
to deploy can be found. After selecting the where the components can be found, the Inventory Progress
screen appears while HP Smart Update Manager builds an inventory of available updates. When the
inventory process is complete, the Select Installation Host(s) screen appears.
Selecting remote hosts or groups
The Select Installation Host(s) screen enables you to choose multiple hosts and groups for component
installation. A remote host can be the IP address or DNS name of a remote server, remote iLO NIC port,
Virtual Connect Ethernet or Fibre Channel Module for c-Class BladeSystem, or BladeSystem Onboard
Administrator.
NOTE:
Local hosts cannot be included in a list with remote hosts or in a group. When
selecting an iLO or iLO2 as a host, only the iLO firmware can be updated. The server host
must also be selected to update all other firmware and software components on the same
physical server. The iLO firmware can be updated by either selecting the iLO or the server
host.
