It might take several minutes.The file was read successfully.Cannot find the specified device."This firmware update failure occurs due to an issue to properly identify whether the drives are directly connected to the system board, or connected to an HPE Smart Array controller.
In the scenario described above, any HPE OneView version managing the following compute modules:HPE Synergy 480 Gen10 Compute ModuleHPE Synergy 480 Gen10 Plus Compute ModuleHPE Synergy 480 Gen11 Compute ModuleHPE Synergy 660 Gen10 Compute Module
To avoid this issue, use SSP 2024.01.02 (or later) to perform firmware updates with HPE OneView. This version can be found at theHPE Synergy Software Releasespage.If this issue has already occurred while installing the FWPKG file from the iLO repository, perform either of the following workarounds:If drives are connected to an HPE Smart Array controllerManually reboot the affected compute module. This step will clear the installation task with the exception state.ORIf drives are directly connected to the system board (AHCI SATA)Delete the installation task with the exception state, and then reboot the compute module. The firmware update will be completed during the reboot.To delete the affected installation task, perform the following steps:From the iLO GUI, click Firmware & OS Software in the navigation tree, and then click Installation Queue.Click on the remove component icon.iLO will prompt to confirm the request.
