update. This setting is for all the supported server blades in this enclosure. When enabled, Enclosure Firmware Management instructs the HP SUM engine to enable flashing of component firmware that is at a higher revision than in the image. Enabling this setting does not guarantee component firmware will be downgraded. If you are using the Enable Force Downgrades option, consult the ISO documentation in advance to correctly set expectation. Power policy The server must be booted from the ISO image to update or discover the firmware. The power policy informs the Onboard Administrator of what action to take if the server is powered on when the operation is initiated. This setting applies to both scheduled and manual operations. The default Power Policy is Must be Off. If power policy is set to Power Off, the Onboard Administrator waits five minutes for the server to respond to the request. If the server does not shutdown in this time the Firmware Management operation fails. If the server is running an operating system that initiated the shutdown but did not complete within five minutes, the server might shut down and remain powered off. Setting Description Must be Off The Onboard Administrator cancels the operation if the server is powered on. Power Off Force Power Off The Onboard Administrator mimics a physical momentary press of the power button on the server blade, powering the server blade off gracefully. The Onboard Administrator mimics a physical press and hold of the power button on the server blade, forcing the server blade to shut power off without regard for first shutting down the OS. CAUTION: You must be careful when using the Force Power Off policy on servers with an operating system installed, because data corruption might occur.
