Restarting a server from the operating system does not activate maintenance mode

When updating firmware with delayed activation on any of the following servers, the update status shows Pending maintenance mode even after restarting the server from the operating system.

  • Flex System x240 M5, Types 2591 and 9532

  • NeXtScale nx360 M5, Type 5465

  • System x3250 M6, Types 3633 and 3943

  • System x3550 M5, Type 5463

  • System x3500 M5, Type 5464

  • System x3550 M5, Type 8869

  • System x3650 M5, Type 5462

To resolve this issue, restart the server from the management-controller web interface. When the server is back online, the update-activation process resumes.
