POSH-OneView | Retrieve server profile firmware install state

[DavisGK]

Hi.

I'm working on a script which applies a firmware update through applying the server profile.  I can track the process through OV GUI by viewing the Firmware Install State value, which informs about when the server requires a reboot. Then I can manually reboot the server to apply the firmware. 

The issue here is that I cannot find the "firmware install state" value from the powershell module returned server profile or hardware objects. 

Is there a way to somehow retrieve this value using the powershell module? I know I can track the progress of the server profile alert which contains the update status, but I feel that thats not as robust.

Thanks. I already solved it by using serverSettings property of the ServerHardware object, which contains the firmware install state information

Hi,
In the API user guide https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=a00118111en_us&page=GUID-4B5123A2-A300-44BF-A0CC-41E8DC66EA4B.html
I couldn't find the API for Firmware Install State that is shown in the GUI of the corresponding server profile. Can you point out the API?

It looks like the API for the Firmware Install State might not be explicitly listed in the user guide you referenced. However, you can find relevant information in the HPE OneView API documentation and the Redfish API documentation for HPE servers.

For HPE OneView, you can use the server-hardware and server-profiles endpoints to manage firmware updates. The firmware settings within a server profile can be accessed and modified through these endpoints.

For Redfish, the UpdateService schema provides a comprehensive way to manage firmware and software updates. This includes inventory management and update tasks. You can find more details in the Redfish documentation provided by HPE.

I hope it helps.
