Delay BIOS Upgrade: Postpone the BIOS upgrade until after the next time the system
■
is reset or power-cycled.
e. Follow the prompts until the upgrade is complete.
What happens next depends on whether you selected Delay BIOS Upgrade or not:
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 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.
Note - When the Oracle ILOM update takes place, your Oracle ILOM session ends.
You can access Oracle ILOM again when the update is complete.
If you reset your server when there is a pending BIOS upgrade, Oracle ILOM
Note -
executes the BIOS upgrade. This power cycles the server and causes the reset to take
longer than usual (as much as 26 minutes). This is normal behavior when a delayed
BIOS upgrade is applied during a reset.

interface (CLI), perform the following steps:
