Host Might Not Power Back On After an Update That Includes a Power Cycle in Metadata (31163478, 31181631)

When updating system firmware using the fwupdate command with a metadata file that includes a system power cycle command, the host might not power back on during the power cycle portion of the update. The firmware has actually been updated to the new version, but the new version will not be used until the system has completed the power cycle and the host is back online.

Workaround

If you encounter this issue, manually power on the server (using the physical power button or Oracle ILOM).
