HP ServicePack for Proliant 2012.02.0 problems
Had 2 problems with HP ServicePack for Proliant 2012.01.0, that I hoped would be solved in 2012.02.0, so I have been waiting impatiently for it since february (Coming soon!).
Today it arrived, but sadly none of my problems were solved.
Problem 1:
I'm trying to run an online upgrade locally with the command:
hpsum.exe /silent /softwareonly /express_install /On_failed_dependency:Omit_Component /use_snmp
The cpqsetup.log says: "Command Line Parameters Given: /force /silent "
I have not set the /force parameter, but I can see in the log, that drivers are installed, even though the same version was already installed, so HPSUM incorrectly sets /force!
Problem 2:
When starting HPSUM.EXE from a VBscript or some kind of Wrapper program, Hpsum.exe and HpsumServerW32.EXE hangs, after all installations have completed successfully.
The following piece of code will hang:
Dim WshShell, objExec
Wscript.Echo "Script started."
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objExec = WshShell.exec("%comspec% /c hpsum.exe /silent /express_install /softwareonly /On_failed_dependency:Omit_Component /use_snmp")
Do While objExec.Status = 0
Wscript.Echo (Right("0" & Hour(now),2) & "." & Right("0" & Minute(now),2) & "." & Right("0" & Second(now),2) & " " & "Waiting for Hpsum.exe to complete")
WScript.Sleep 5000
Loop
Wscript.Echo "Script Finished. ExitCode: " & objExec.ExitCode
Wscript.quit(0)
The following piece of code will run, but then I can't get the exitcode of Hpsum.exe:
Option Explicit
Dim WshShell, objExec
Wscript.Echo "Script started."
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.run("%comspec% /c hpsum.exe /silent /express_install /softwareonly /On_failed_dependency:Omit_Component /use_snmp"), 1, True
Wscript.Echo "Script Finished."
Wscript.quit(0)
This used to work in Hpsum version 4.
These problems has been seen on Windows 2008 as well as Windows 2008 R2.
Does anyone have a good solution to these problems?
While I was trying to circumvent the problem mentioned i problem 2, I found another error:
Problem 3:
I was looking for a logfile to pickup the return code, and found: HPSUM_InstallDetails.xml.
It has a property: IsInstallerSuccess
Unfortunately this property has the value false even though the other logfiles says:
[Information] 29-03-2012 12:02:30 -- HP SUM exiting with status: 1
[Information] 29-03-2012 12:02:30 -- HP SUM exiting with status: The installation was successful, but a reboot is required
IsInstallerSuccess used to be true, on Hpsum Version 4, when installtion succeded.
So to find the exitcode you could go to the newest logfile: hpsum_execution_log_03-29-2012_12-02-31.log.
This log is created once for each run of Hpsum, and apparently this status is OK:
[Information] 29-03-2012 12:02:30 -- HP SUM exiting with status: 1

Re: HP ServicePack for Proliant 2012.02.0 problems
The last 5 firmware DVDs caused destruction. HP replaced 9 server boards and 15 fiber cards. The last two firmware upgrades were done by their engineers. They came out and did it with the same results. They bring out a server board and two fiber cards in case they need them.

Re: HP ServicePack for Proliant 2012.02.0 problems
Hi
I have found no circumvention on problem number 1.
Problem number 2 shows a workaound on that problem.
Problem number 3 can be circumvented by looking in another log file, I find the newest hpsum_execution_log.* in the c:\cpqsystem\hp\log folder.
Tried to contact HP Support, but they never answered my mail.
Best regards

Re: HP ServicePack for Proliant 2012.02.0 problems
Just found an explanation to problem no 1.
According to the Smart Update Manager User Guide the /express_install parameter:
Starts an express installation (for the local host only). The
HP SUM performs discovery, installation, or exit without
/user interaction. You can cancel or terminate HP SUM. An
express installation will force install all components in the
default repository and may downgrade drivers and
firmware to the versions in the default directory as part of
the installation operation. The express installation feature
allows you to set a baseline and enforce it regardless of
the currently installed version of drivers and firmware on
the local server.
Apparently this implies setting the /Force parameter, so all components gets reinstalled, even though they are at the correct level already, making the express_install a VERY slow install!
