Description A Service Processor automatic firmware update failure was detected, which can result in Service Processor not being updated to the latest available compatible firmware package.
Corrective Actions
  1. Use the "system service-processor image show" command to display the firmware version that SP is currently booted from.
  2. Manually upgrade Service Processor by using the "system service-processor image update" command.
  3. Allow sufficient time for the system to update Service Processor firmware to the specified SP firmware package.
  4. Contact the technical support if the alert persists.
Possible Effect Suboptimal system behavior can result from Service Processor not being updated to the latest available compatible firmware package.

 

  • Verify if an upgrade is currently in progress:

::> service-processor image update-progress show

  • Check EMS for any errors

::> event log show -node node-01 -event sp.*
