7.1 Perform a Dry Run Before Using the si_updateclient Utility to Update
Nodes
The si_updateclient utility can leave nodes in an unbootable state in certain situations. You
can still use si_updateclient to deploy image changes to nodes. However, before you update
any nodes, HP recommends that you perform a dry run first to ensure that files in the /boot
directory are not updated. Updating files in /boot can result in nodes being unable to boot.
You can retrieve a list of files that will be updated by si_updateclient by specifying
--dry-run on the command line.
