NOTE:

After updating hard drives in external enclosures such as MSA20, you must power

cycle the external enclosures. The Reboot button in HP Smart Update Manager only reboots

the server but never power cycles an external enclosure.

The following installation logs contain information about the installation activity for each host being
updated:

hpsum_log.txt log—Contains a brief summary of the installation activity

hpsum_detail_log.txt log—Contains all of the installation details, including errors, for each

component installed

The log files can be found in the following locations:

For Windows® operating systems, these files are located in subdirectories named according to the
IP address of each host in the \CPQSYSTEM\hp\log subdirectory on the boot partition of the local
host. The directory containing the local host information is named localhost instead of being

named after the IP address.

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.

A new file contains detailed information on the execution of HP SUM.

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 HP Smart Update Firmware DVD and

HP BladeSystem Firmware Deployment Tool results in the log files being written to the Linux

location.

HP SUM 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, Windows® XP, and Windows Vista®—%TEMP%\hp_sum\

For Windows Server® 2008—%TEMP%\\hp_sum

For Linux—/tmp/hp_sum

HP SUM 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

HP SUM provides simultaneous firmware and software deployment for multiple ProLiant remote targets

and options in both GUI and CLI modes. For performance and optimization, if more than 20 remote

targets exist for simultaneous update, HP SUM starts with the update for the first 20 targets and when
each target update completes, then the next target in line is selected until all targets have been updated.
After you start HP SUM, the Source Selection screen ("

selecting the component's location ("
