Server Platform: Oracle x86 server platforms
Issue: If the server has a pending BIOS upgrade, a routine reset will take longer to complete. The pending BIOS upgrade will cause the server to power cycle and reboot several times. This is expected behavior. If the upgrade includes an FPGA update, the process can take as long as 26 minutes to complete.
Note that a pending BIOS upgrade exists when both of theses conditions are true:
You updated the BIOS and SP firmware using Oracle ILOM.
During the Oracle ILOM firmware update process, you selected Delay BIOS Upgrade.
Workaround: No workaround is necessary. The Issue described in this release note is considered expected behavior.
