With PARALLEL_BOOT Disabled, Unable to Stop Running Host After SP Reboot (22548014)

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
