Restful API call to detect firmware update is in progress

[DenYeo]

Is there a Restful API resource that i can call to check whether the Gen10 or Gen9 proliant is in the midst of firmware update (whether it is Bios, ilo or hardware firmware e.g. qlogic HBA)

Hi,

As far as I can understand, there is no such API available from HPE.

Thank You!

How about this resource ? :

/redfish/v1/updateservice/updatetaskqueue/

{
"@odata.context": "/redfish/v1/$metadata#HpeComponentUpdateTaskQueueCollection.HpeComponentUpdateTaskQueueCollection",
"@odata.etag": "W/\"75983E8D\"",
"@odata.id": "/redfish/v1/UpdateService/UpdateTaskQueue/",
"@odata.type": "#HpeComponentUpdateTaskQueueCollection.HpeComponentUpdateTaskQueueCollection",
"Description": "Component Update Task Queue",
"Name": "Component Update Task Queue",
"Members": [],
"Members@odata.count": 0
}

if there are "Members", can we assume that there are currently no firmware updates in progress?

Hello,

I would suggest, you have to log a proper case with HPE, and share the appropriate logs for further analysis.

This is a query/question. Not an issue. Thus, i don't have any logs to send to HPE Support, so how does opening a proper HPE case help?

Hello,

Ok, 

I would suggest again, you have to log a proper case with HPE.

Follow their instruction to isolate the issue.

Logged a case with HPE, and they confirmed that as long as firmware or software updates being performed uses iLo5 repository method on Gen10, below API URI can help confirm if any pending tasks in queue and their status and type of agent it is using to update components.
