25.9 Troubleshooting firmware update problems

The following table provides the actions to correct a firmware update task failure.

Corrective Actions

Cause/Symptom

Perform the appropriate action:

Firmware Update Task Failed

If the task fails, the system is left up in the Insight Control
for Linux RAM disk, so that you can examine the hpsum
logs and enter commands as necessary.

Examine the Task Results

If the task failed on any step other than the firmware
step, perform the steps to correct that problem.

If the task failed on the Power Down server step,
examine the firmware update log to determine why.

You can also examine the system console; firmware
update messages are output to console.

The tar file must contain the contents of /compaq/
swpackages

directory with no directory information.

Verify that any new firmware is an hpsum file.

Verify that any new .scexe file is executable.

Verify that the hpsum executable is located in the
/compaq/swpackages

directory.

This message can be safely ignored.

Benign font error message during firmware update

The following error message appears in the log of the
firmware update:

Fontconfig error: Cannot load default
