Command-line syntax error

•One or more remote servers with system ROMs requiring upgrade

•An administrative user account on each target system. The administrative account must have the same username and password as the local administrative client system.

•All target systems are connected to the same network and use protocols that enable them to be seen from the administrative client.

•Each target system has a system partition that is at least 32 MB in size.

•Verification that the ROM version to which you are upgrading can be used for all the servers or array controllers that you are upgrading.

•Follow the instructions for the Remote ROM Flash procedure that accompany the software.

If the correct command-line syntax is not used, an error message describing the incorrect syntax is displayed and the program exits. Correct the syntax, and then restart the process.

Access denied on target computer

If you specify a networked target computer for which you do not have administrative privileges, an error message is displayed describing the problem, and then the program exits. Obtain administrative privileges for the target computer, and then restart the process. Be sure the remote registry service is running on a Windows®-based system.

Invalid or incorrect command-line parameters

If incorrect parameters are passed into command-line options, an error message describing the invalid or incorrect parameter is displayed and the program exits (Example: Invalid source path for system configuration or ROMPaq files). Correct the invalid parameter, and then restart the process.

Network connection fails on remote communication

Because network connectivity cannot be guaranteed, it is possible for the administrative client to become disconnected from the target server during the ROM flash preparation. If any remote connectivity procedure fails during the ROM flash online preparation, the ROM flash does not occur for the target system. An error message describing the broken connection displays and the program exits. Attempt to ascertain and correct the cause of connection failure, and then restart the process.

Failure occurs during ROM flash

After the online flash preparation has been successfully completed, the system ROM is flashed offline. The flash cannot be interrupted during this process, or the ROM image is corrupted and the server does not start. The most likely reason for failure is a loss of power to the system during the flash process. Initiate ROMPaq disaster recovery procedures.

Target system is not supported

If the target system is not listed in the supported servers list, an error message is displayed and the program exits. Only supported systems can be upgraded using the Remote ROM Flash utility. To see if the server is supported, refer to the Software and Drivers Download website (http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/server).
