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__.log • For Linux operating systems, the filename is: /var/hp/log/hpsum_execution_log__.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 location to check for updates" on page 26) appears, enabling you to specify where to find the components that you want to deploy.

HP SUM User Interface
45
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_<date>_<time>.log
For Linux operating systems, the filename is:
/var/hp/log/hpsum_execution_log_<date>_<time>.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%\<number>\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

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 ("
