HPSUM can't push firmware updates to client

Hi All,

I have HPSUM installed on a physical redhat 5 server and I'm trying to install firmware updates on a remote client which has the same hardware (DL380 G7) and OS.

I'm using this command:

hpsum -s /dryrun /use_location /var/hp/hp_sum/Repository/ /target <FQDN of server> /veryverbose /LOGDIR "/home/<myhomedir>" /username root /password **********

I get the error message:

Starting Discovery

Exception: Cannot proceed with update, local HP SUM instance is detected. Remote termination of local HP SUM is not allowed

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//  Exit Code for Target 10.137.4.177: -1

I interpret the error message as meaning HPSUM thinks HPSUM is already running on the remote client but I know for sure it isn't.

Any idea's?

Many thanks

Ben
