Cancel a hung firmware update task

Follow this procedure to cancel an unresponsive task. Cancel the task only after you have tried alternate methods to address the hung operation.

Prerequisites
  • Privileges: Infrastructure administrator, Server administrator, or Server firmware operator

  • A firmware update has become unresponsive or appears to not be proceeding.

  1. From the main menu, select Activity.
  2. To select a single activity, click a row.

    To select multiple activities, press and hold the Ctrl key.
