Execution Summary

After the fwupdate tool is used to upgrade firmware, an execution summary provides information on whether or not the upgrade was successful. This information is also written to the log file.

The following are examples of the possible execution summary messages:

Message printed after successful a dry-run/check function:

Check firmware successful for device: device_name
The upgrade was successful, but no firmware version information is available for this component:

Upgrade of firmware for device_name succeeded. Version information was not available.

Consult your product release notes for information on how to verify the upgrade.
Upgrade was successful:

Upgrade of device_name from old_fw to new_fw succeeded.
The version number of the software did not change after a successful upgrade:

Upgrade of device_name from old_fw succeeded, but is not yet active.

This might mean that the machine needs to be reset, or other instructions need to be followed. Consult your product release notes for information on what needs to be done to update the version number.
Upgrade failed:

Upgrade of device_name failed: error_message

Where:

device_name is the logical name of the device that is being upgraded.
old_fw is the old firmware version.
new_fw is the new firmware version.
error_message is the error message that explains why the firmware update did not succeed.
