PoSH Update-OVServerProfile Staging Updates - Error

[ChrisLynchHPE]

Discussed in #661

^{Originally posted by KeithS011 November 3, 2023}

Expected Behavior

Update-OVServerProfile -ServerName "Server" -Stage -Confirm:$false

should stage updates that require reboot, as of 8.30.3660.2366 update. Such as Firmware baseline when reapplying from the ServerProfileTemplate, and apply them when the server is next powered down via HPEOV.

Actual Behavior

errorCode":"ServerNotOffWithCauseForNoServerChange","errorSource":null,"message":"The requested changes cannot be applied because {\"name\":\"Redacted, bay 12\", \"uri\":\"/rest/server-hardware/Redacted\"} is powered on and the changes made to the following sections can only be applied when the power is off: \n* Firmware","nestedErrors":[],"recommendedActions":["Power off the server or adjust the settings and retry. {\"name\":\"Learn more\", \"uri\":\"/doc#/cic/profiles/edit\"}"]}],"taskOutput":[],"taskState":"Error","taskStatus":"Unable to edit server profile: Redacted."

Steps to reproduce

Update-OVServerProfile -ServerName "Server" -Stage -Confirm:$false

I found and have resolved the issue. It was a logic validation issue. Here is what the experience will look like:

was this not updated in the 8.30 module download ?
I grabbed it again today, and still getting the same error as before.

$stage = Get-OVServerProfile -Name $SP | Update-OVServerProfile -stage

$stage.taskErrors

This was resolved in the recently released 8.60, 9.00 and 9.10 PowerShell libraries.
