Appliance recovery operations
When the appliance restarts, it performs the following operations:
•
Detects tasks that were in progress and resumes those tasks, if it is safe to do so. If the appliance
cannot complete a task, it notifies you that the task has been interrupted or is in some other
error state.
•
Attempts to detect differences between the current environment and the environment at the
time the appliance shut down, and refreshes its database with the detected changes.
If you determine that the appliance data does not match the current environment, you can
request that the appliance refresh the data for certain resources, such as enclosures.
Appliance recovery during a firmware update of a managed resource
If the appliance shuts down during a firmware update of a managed resource, when the appliance
restarts, it detects the failed update and marks the firmware update tasks as being in an error state.
To update the firmware for this resource, you must reinitiate the firmware update task.
