If you are rebooting the SP or performing a SysFW upgrade, you might see the following errors:
When attempting to start the host:
-> start /System -script start: Operation not allowed while stop host is in progress.
Or, when stopping the host, the host does not transition status from Standby to Powered Off and the operation_in_progress state remains Host stop in progress:
-> show /HOST status /HOST Properties: status = Standby -> show /HOST operation_in_progress /HOST Properties: operation_in_progress = Host stop in progress
This error occurs when the host is powered on, you have /SP/Policy PARALLEL_BOOT set to disabled (the default is enabled), and either the SP has been rebooted or a SysFW upgrade is performed and the SP reboots at the end of the upgrade.
Workaround:
Verify that /SP/Policy PARALLEL_BOOT is enabled prior to resetting the SP or performing a LiveFW update.
If enabling /SP/Policy PARALLEL_BOOT is not an option and you intend to stop the host after rebooting the SP or after performing a SysFW upgrade, stop the host before rebooting the SP or attempting the SysFW upgrade.
Recovery: Force a system stop.
->stop -force /System reset /SP
