Administrator Guide
3 To retrieve logs with more details, view the temp folder. To determine the temp folder, run the following command in Windows
PowerShell:
[System.IO.Path]::GetTempPath()
The temp folder path is something similar to: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\2\. If the temp folder path includes a
numbered folder, such as 2, 3, or 4, go up one folder level to the
\Temp folder. If you browse in File Explorer, AppData is a hidden
folder. You can type the folder path to get to it, for example:
Figure 41. Updating the Temp folder
In the \Temp folder, look for the le that is named PUProgressDetails.txt.
4 View running jobs in the VMM console, in the Jobs workspace.
5 The console VM automatically restarts at the very end of the patching process. This closes the Windows PowerShell session. To verify
that P&U successfully completed, look for the following event in Event Viewer, under Applications and Services Logs > PUEventLog
> Operational on the Console VM. Search for CompletePU.
Figure 42. Verifying P&U completion in the Event Viewer
NOTE
: Dell recommends that you also lter events for any “Critical” or “Error” events. If there are no such events, then
the P&U process was successful. If you do nd any of these types of events, investigate and correct them before re-
running the update process.
When the updates complete, compliance reports are generated at the following location: \\<Prex>SFS\Share01\<CPSPU Folder Name>
\AggregatedLogs.
This folder contains all logs and compliance reports. The top-level folder is a named with a GUID. Sort by date modied to see the latest.
You can open each subfolder to review the compliance report and to verify what was installed.
Post update cleanup
After you have veried that patching has completed successfully, do the following:
• Dell recommends that you remove the account that you used for patching from the <
Prex
>-Setup-Admins group. If this account is
an active account that you use for Dell Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft administration, make sure that it is a member of another
group such as
<
Prex
>-Ops-Admins
• Archive the P&U log les to keep an update history, and in case diagnostics or debugging is needed. The log le folder is at the path \
\<Prex>CON01\PUShare\<CPSPU Folder Name>\PU\AggregatedLogs.
• If you intend to expand the stamp or add backup hosts soon, you may have to run P&U again. In that case, you may want to keep the
latest update package on the Console VM. Otherwise, after you have archived the log les, you can delete the update package from
the Console VM.
Shutting down and starting up the stamp
There are scenarios where a graceful shutdown of the Dell Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft stamp may be required. To do this, you must
follow a series of sequenced steps. In addition, the case of a power outage is covered at the end of this section.
