Firmware update completion not recognized - script loop stuck

[squirrlien]

Set-DeviceFirmwareSimpleUpdateTransferProtocolREDFISH.psm1 Line: 392

Firmware update, specifically Emulex firmware, but it makes no difference anyway.

Rest-API JSON response: "Job completed, server reboot pending In order to apply changes, recover from errors, or complete the operation, a component reset is required with the Reset action URI '/redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Actions/ComputerSystem.Reset' and ResetType 'PowerCycle'."

Web GUI Status message: "Completed, Server Reboot Pending (100%)"

However the loop is stuck on: "- Job ID 'JID_946819174107' not marked scheduled or completed, checking job status again"

I had to add the following to the line 392 to make the module recognize that the Job completed, server reboot pending: -or $overall_job_output.Messages.Message.Contains("Job completed, server reboot pending")

Hi @squirrlien

Thanks for pointing this out, certain network cards now support applying the firmware immediately but still need a server reboot or a/c cycle once the update job is marked completed, reason you see "Job Completed, server reboot pending" status.

I've updated the cmdlet code, example below running it:

PS C:\> Set-DeviceFirmwareSimpleUpdateTransferProtocolREDFISH -idrac_ip 192.168.0.120 -idrac_username root -idrac_password calvin -protocol_type NFS -uri_path 192.168.0.130:/nfs/BCOM_10G.EXE  -reboot_server y

- PASS, statuscode 202 returned successfully for POST command to create update job ID 'JID_950691921772'

- INFO, script will now loop polling the job status every 5 seconds until marked either scheduled or completed
