If a subsequent HP SUM session is started against the same server, HP SUM will detect that there is a pending SFW update on the system and will provide options for handling the situation. • HP SUM can leave the system to be manually powered down at a future date. That target will not be able to continue with any platform level updates by HP SUM. • HP SUM can activate the pending SFW. If selected, HP SUM will walk through the sequence of powering down the system and making sure the SFW update completes successfully. The target will then be available to continue with any new platform level updates in the same HP SUM session. • HP SUM can cancel the pending SFW. If selected, HP SUM will issue a reset command to iLO, which will cancel the pending SFW, while keeping the OS still booted. The target will then be available to continue with any new platform level updates in the same HP SUM session. Note: Because iLO and SFW are meant to be installed in pairs, cancelling just the SFW update might leave the system in an unstable state at the next boot time. The cancel option is not recommended unless you are about to perform a new full platform firmware install and update iLO and SFW to a new recipe. Note: On Superdome 2 nPartitions, it is possible to install but not activate partition firmware, but this is not the same issue. On Superdome 2, additional updates can be applied even when partition firmware is pending activation. 26
