2 Hpnicfwupg did not attempt firmware upgrade because the
installed firmware was up-to-date, the target hardware was not
present, the command was invalid, the user responded no to all
prompts, or the user selected quit in response to a prompt. For
options –c and –i, a 2 means that the information could not be
displayed.
3 Hpnicfwupg attempted to upgrade firmware but one or more
upgrades failed due to an unrecoverable error. This return code
is used even if some of the server adapters were upgraded
successfully.
DOS utility
These notes describe how to use the Gigabit Server Adapter Firmware Upgrade Utility to flash server
adapter firmware.
Flashing consists of using software to replace the current server adapter firmware on a target server with
a new firmware image. Server adapter firmware is typically flashed for the following reasons:
•
To support new features
•
To correct problems in a previous server adapter firmware version
Customers should upgrade their servers to the latest server adapter firmware version:
•
When HP releases a new server adapter firmware version
•
When installing a new server adapter
•
After purchasing a new server
•
When installing a SoftPaq that specifies the need for the latest version of firmware
The Gigabit Server Adapter Firmware Upgrade Utility automatically checks for driver, hardware, and
operating system dependencies, and installs only the correct server adapter firmware upgrades required
by each target server.
