Diagnostics and resolution

Do the following steps to diagnose and resolve the issue:
  1. Check the list of pods pending for eviction.
  2. If the application pods are safe to drain, manually drain them.
  3. After the manual draining of the pods, if the firmware upgrade status is still in progress, then the upgrade proceeds automatically.
  4. If the firmware upgrade fails, reattempt the failed firmware upgrade.
    Note: You can modify the pod drain threshold timeout value by updating the field MaintenanceWarningTimeout in the configmap and compute-operator-config under the ibm-spectrum-fusion-ns namespace. The possible value can be between 5 to 40 and the default time units are in minutes. The modified value is applicable for the fresh firmware upgrade only and not applicable for the upgrade operation that is in progress.
