Installation Queue
The installation queue is an ordered list of components that were added to the queue
individually or as parts of an install set. Use SUM to manage the queue. You can view queued
tasks and add single components to the queue from the iLO web interface.
When you add a component to the installation queue, it is added to the end of the queue. After
other queued items are complete, the added component is installed when the software that
initiates updates for the component type detects the installation request. To determine the
software that can initiate an update, check the component details on the iLO Repository and
Installation Queue pages.
If a component in a previously queued task is waiting to start or finish, a new queued
component might be delayed indefinitely. For example, if a queued update must wait until the
UEFI BIOS detects it during server POST, but the server is not restarted, then the updates that
follow in the queue will not be installed.
To learn more about how iLO, SUM, and the BIOS software work together to manage software
and firmware, see the SUM documentation.
