If you update a previously updated Integrity server via iLO but did not power down and reboot to activate the system firmware change, HP SUM asks you what to do with the pending update. You can choose to:

Before you cancel a pending update, make sure it is not a critical fix that prevents you from applying current updates.

If you are updating an HP Integrity BL8x0c i2/i4 or rx2800 i2/i4 server, the firmware activation will occur during the next power down. To manually check the firmware activation while the system is powered down, run the iLO-3 MP CM command, fw.

[Note]

NOTE: Cancelling an update and not performing new updates might leave the server in a state where you cannot boot it. The iLO and system firmware might be mixed and incompatible. If you cancel a pending update, make sure you perform a new full firmware update.
