The Status field for the background task provides this information.

Table 6-6 Install/Upgrade App steps

Step	Status Field	Description
1	Installing upgrade	The software upgrade request has been written to the PMAC database and PMAC has initiated the software upgrade on the target server blade.
2	ID assigned	PMAC interfaces with the installed TPD operating system of the target server blade to start the upgrade. TPD assigns a unique ID to the task.
3	In progress	The PMAC-initiated upgrade task is in progress. To determine the status of the upgrade running on the target server blade, PMAC polls TPD on the target server blade. When the upgrade is processing normally, TPD responds to the poll with a status message that reports 'In Progress'. If an error is detected in the upgrade, TPD responds to the poll with a task status of 'Complete', and PMAC performs a get of the task result with a 'Failed' status. After a timeout (60 minutes) occurs, the upgrade task enters a probationary timeout. This is indicated by a warning icon on the task row and text is displayed in the status column on the task monitoring page. The text asks for a manual verification of the upgrade and gives the IPv4 address of the upgrading server.For an application install or upgrade, after a timeout (60 minutes) occurs, the upgrade task enters a probationary timeout. This is indicated by a warning icon on the task row and text is displayed in the status column on the task monitoring page. The text asks for a manual verification of the upgrade and gives the IPv4 address of the upgrading server. If the upgrade completes in the probationary timeout state, it is complete, but the text note continues to be displayed. The probationary timeout restarts the timeout clock (60 minutes). After the timeout expires again, the upgrade is cleared and PMAC then fails the background task.
4	Complete	The PMAC-initiated upgrade has completed, and a status of success or failure is displayed in the PMAC GUI.
