Pending firmware updates for iLO (HP Integrity servers only)

If you updated an iLO's firmware but did not reboot and activate the iLO, HP SUM asks you what to do with the pending update. You can choose to:

  • Leave the system for manual reboot to activate.

    This closes HP SUM and you will need to manually reboot the iLO to activate the pending update. After the reboot, you can open HP SUM and proceed with the firmware update.

  • Let HP SUM shutdown the OS and let activation happen.

    HP SUM shuts down and restart the operating system to activate the pending update. After the system restarts, you can continue with the updates.

  • Let HP SUM cancel the pending update.

    This option will cancel the staged update and you can continue with your updates.

[Note]

NOTE: Some updates are critical updates that you need to apply. Before you cancel a pending update, make sure it is not a critical fix that prevents you from applying current updates.
