What happens next depends on whether you selected Delay BIOS Upgrade:
If you did not select Delay BIOS Upgrade, an update status display appears. The system power cycles and applies the updates when the update status display reaches 100%.
If you selected Delay BIOS Upgrade, the system updates and boots Oracle ILOM, but does not upgrade BIOS, and does not power cycle. Instead, it upgrades BIOS the next time you reset or power cycle the server.
