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 retieve a list of files that will be updated by si_updateclient by specifying --dry-run on the command line.
