4 DEP_HARD_ERROR Hard
dependency
error
The required prerequisite software
was not found on your system.
The update was unsuccessful
because the server did not meet
BIOS, driver, or firmware
prerequisites for the update to be
applied, or because no supported
device was found on the target
system. The DUP enforces this
check and blocks an update from
being applied if the prerequisite is
not met, preventing the server from
reaching an invalid configuration
state. The prerequisite can be met
by applying another DUP, if
available. In this case, the other
package should be applied before
the current one so that both
updates can succeed. A
DEP_HARD_ERROR cannot be
suppressed by using the /f switch.
5 QUAL_HARD_ERROR Qualification
error
The DUP is not applicable to
the system. Some possible
explanations are:
• The operating system is not
supported by the DUP.
• The system is not supported by
the DUP.
• The DUP is not compatible with
the devices found in your system.
A QUAL_HARD_ERROR cannot
be suppressed by using the /f
switch.
