Affected OS Commands

The machinfo command can print the firmware versions. This command may malfunction during
an active online complex firmware update operation when it attempts to print the BMC firmware
version, which is sourced via IPMI.

Network Services to OA

All network services provided by the OA are interrupted by the firmware update process. These
services include:
XML inventory query from HP-SIM
WS-MAN partition query from HP-SIM and plugins
User interface (ssh, web, telnet) for all OA services
SOAP request from GiCAP Group Manager, HP-SUM
Kernel debugger connection through OA network port
Console access through the OA
Ping, SNMP queries
This is the same as legacy MP or C7000 OA (depending on the protocol) behavior during an
update.
