HP Smart Update Manager return codes

HP Smart Update Manager has consolidated return codes from Linux and Windows® components into a new, enhanced return code mapping. These return codes determine the status of the component installation. You can also use return codes in a script to control the execution of the script and determine any required branching.

In Linux, the negative return codes are reported. These return codes are determined by subtracting the negative value from 256.

To view the installation log file locations, see "Viewing the installation results."
