When the updates have begun and it is time to remove power, the following power-cycle message
is displayed on the console, indicating that you have 30 minutes to cycle the power; the amount
of time remaining will count down as the minutes elapse:
WARNING: Activating the new firmware requires cycling ALL input A.C. power to the system.
Please switch off the UPS or circuit breakers NOW. Wait 30 seconds, then follow your
system's power-up procedure to restore power.
You have 30 minutes remaining to begin this action
Having received the advance warning, you should periodically check the console for the
power-cycle message. Follow these steps when the message is displayed:
1. Perform an orderly power shutdown using Management Processor PE commands or
equivalent to turn off all power to the system.
2. Physically switch off circuit breakers or unplug power cords, starting with expansion cabinets
(if present) and finishing with the main cabinet.
3. Wait 30 seconds, then restore power.
4. Reconnect the Management Processor to your original firmware-update session.
If you fail to cycle power within 30 minutes, an error is displayed and the system will be operating
in an unsupported state, possibly with a combination of new and old firmware. Although the
system usually continues to run in this unsupported state, HP recommends that you immediately
perform the update again, and perform the power cycle when requested within 30 minutes.
