Install OS background task

Caution:

This command is not intended for general customer use and should be used only as directed by Customer Access Support (see My Oracle Support).

The PMAC GUI provides a command to load the TPD operating system on server blades, guests, and RMSs. Both commands execute as background tasks:

Click Install OS to initiate the installation. The Select Image page appears. Select the Image Name from the list, then click Install OS. PMAC creates an Install OS background task for each target server blade.

After it is issued, the Install OS command cannot be stopped. An authorized user can delete the background task. The deletion stops the tracking of its status but may not stop the actual installation.

PMAC fails the background task if a successful installation is not detected within 45 minutes.

On the Background Task Monitoring page on the PMAC GUI, the user can monitor the progress as the Install OS background task executes. The Status field shows the current step being executed.
