lsupdate

Use the lsupdate command to display a system's machine code (code) upgrade status.

Syntax

lsupdate [ -nohdr ] [ -delim delimiter ]

Parameters

-nohdr: (Optional) By default, headings are displayed for each column of data in a concise style view, and for each item of data in a detailed style view. The -nohdr parameter suppresses the display of these headings.
Note: If there is no data to be displayed, headings are not displayed.
-delim delimiter: (Optional) By default in a concise view, all columns of data are space-separated. The width of each column is set to the maximum width of each item of data. In a detailed view, each item of data has its own row, and if the headers are displayed, the data is separated from the header by a space. The -delim parameter overrides this behavior. Valid input for the -delim parameter is a 1-byte character. If you enter -delim : on the command line, the colon character (:) separates all items of data in a concise view; for example, the spacing of columns does not occur. In a detailed view, the data is separated from its header by the specified delimiter.

Description

The following are the upgrade status states:

status

Indicates the overall update-related status of the system. The values are:

success, which indicates that all updating activity is complete.
system_preparing, which indicates that the system is preparing a manual update.
system_prepared, which indicates that the system is ready to starting a manual update.
system_prepare_failed, which indicates that the system could not start a manual update.
Note: Check the event log.
system_initializing, which indicates that the system is readying nodes for an update.
system_updating, which indicates that the nodes are being updated.
system_updating_pausing, which indicates that the system is pausing before it continues to update the nodes.
Note: If you specify applysoftware -continue the status changes to system_updating.
system_committing, which indicates that all nodes are updated and the system is readying the new code.
system_stalled, which indicates that an update stalled because of unexpected node problems.
system_stalled_non_redundant, which indicates that an update stalled because of dependent volumes.
system_restoring, which indicates that a stalled update is canceled by the user.
Note: The previous code version is being restored.
system_restoring_pausing, which indicates that the system is pausing before it continues to restore the nodes.
Note: If you specify applysoftware -continue the status changes to system_updating_restoring.
system_restoring_stalled_non_redundant, which indicates that an update is canceled and then stalled because of dependent volumes.
system_manual_update, which indicates that a manual update is in progress.
system_completion_required, which indicates that all nodes are updated and management functions are available, but further system changes are necessary to complete the update.
Note: Check the event log.
system_completing, which indicates that an automatic update completion is in progress.
system_completing_pausing, which indicates that automatic update completion is paused.
system_completing_paced, which indicates that a paced update completion is in progress.
system_completing_stalled, which indicates that an automatic update completion stalled because of an unexpected problem.
enclosures, which indicates that enclosure firmware is being updated.
enclosures_stalled, which indicates that an enclosure firmware update stalled because of an unexpected problem or the enclosure has a lack of redundancy.
drives, which indicates that drive firmware is being updated.

event_sequence_number

Indicates an event that describes any current problem with the code update. The value must be a numeric string in decimal format (or blank).

progress

Indicates the completion percentage of the current update activity in terms of number of objects updated (rather than time elapsed). The value must be a numeric string (decimal) in the range 0 - 100.

estimated_completion_time

Indicates estimated completion time of current update activity. It is valid only if the current update activity is automatic and is not stalled. The value must be in the format YYMMDDHHMMSS (or blank).

suggested_action

Indicates the actions that help the update progress. The value must be:

complete, which indicates the system update is complete and update completion must be issued. Nodes are online.
continue, which indicates that the concurrent upgrade is paused and you must applysoftware -continue to continue the concurrent upgrade.
fix, which indicates that an update cannot continue because of a problem. Check the event log, specifically the event_sequence_number output. Nodes are offline.
manual, which indicates that a manual update is in progress.
pacednext, which indicates that the paced update is in progress and the next node must be scheduled for updating. Nodes are online.
resume_cancel, which indicates that the update is stalled but can be resumed or canceled. Nodes are online.
resume, which indicates that the update completion is stalled but can be resumed. Nodes are online.
start, which indicates that the system is ready for a new update to start. No update is in progress or prepared and all nodes are online.
wait, which indicates that the system is busy (no action is required) because an update is in progress.

system_new_code_level

Indicates that a new level of code is being updated. The value must be the build version (or blank if not updating or restoring the system).

system_forced

Indicates any current node-related activity in forced mode (ignoring dependent volumes). The values are yes or no.

system_next_node_status

Indicates the status of the next node in the current node-related update activity. The values are:

none, which indicates that there is no node to update.
paused, which indicates that the current node is paused during a concurrent upgrade, and you must applysoftware -continue to continue the concurrent upgrade.
waiting, which indicates that the node is ready for updating and that the system is waiting (typically for multipathing failover).
ready, which indicates that the node is ready for updating, and the update activity is paced. You must start the update manually.
updating, which indicates that the node is updating.
stalled, which indicates that the node is going to be updated next, but the update is stalled.

system_next_node_time

Indicates the time that the next node update will start. It is valid only if the system_next_node_status is waiting. The value must be in the format YYMMDDHHMMSS x (or blank).

system_next_node_id

Indicates the ID of the next node in the current node-related update. The value must be a numeric string (or blank).

system_next_node_name

Indicates the name of the next node in the current node-related update. The value must be an alphanumeric string (or blank).
