HP XC System Software Installation Guide Version 3.0

3. Search for the word error in this log file to find upgrade errors. You can safely ignore the error
rpmdb: No such file or directory . These errors are benign.
However, you must resolve failed dependencies and RPM conflicts. See Troubleshooting the Software
Upgrade Procedure (page 146) for information about resolving upgrade errors. If you cannot determine
how to resolve these errors, contact the XC support team at:
xc_support@hp.com
4. Do not proceed to the next upgrade task until you resolve all RPM upgrade failures.
Look at Example 7-1 and Example 7-2 for examples of successful and failed RPM upgrade results.
Example 7-1 shows the results of a successful upgrade of XC specific RPMs.
Example 7-1 Successful Content in /var/log/postinstall.log File
