The management console reports that another firmware update operation is in progress. More than one firmware update operation cannot be in progress at the same time. You cannot initiate another firmware update operation because the system detects that a firmware update operation is already in progress. It is possible that this error is caused by a previous unsuccessful firmware update operation that left the system in a temporary state. If the system is in this temporary state, the system recovers to the normal state after a few hours. You can submit a firmware update operation after the system recovers to the normal state.
Ensure that no other firmware update operation is in progress and resubmit the firmware update operation. If the problem persists, wait three hours and then resubmit the firmware update operation. If the problem still persists, contact IBM technical support for assistance.
