Troubleshooting
Problem
Firmware updates for QRadar hardware appliances on Lenovo System x® and ThinkSystem™ hardware fails if LAN Over USB (also called Ethernet Over USB) is disabled.
Symptom
The failure typically occurs after the UpdateXpress ISO boots to the firmware update UI when the tool is attempting to compare the updates available in the ISO to the firmware installed in the QRadar hardware appliance. See the following example error message:
