Explanation
The current status of lsupdate reports
the update as
prepare_failed. This is an indication the user has already attempted
to prepare an update, or started an update and
in either scenario, the prepare has failed due to offline volumes.
The cache flush has failed.
User Response
The user needs to correct the error that caused
the prepare to fail. Offline volumes are the most likely cause, also
node resets might cause a prepare failure. Stop updates with prepare failures with the applysoftware -abort command,
then reattempt the update.
