​
Synopsis

Returns information about a pending HPE OneView appliance software update that has been uploaded and staged but not yet installed.

​
Syntax

Get-OVPendingUpdate
    [-ApplianceConnection <Object>]
    [<CommonParameters>]

​
Description

Get-OVPendingUpdate queries the appliance for any software update that has been staged via Install-OVUpdate -Stage but not yet applied. If a pending update exists, it returns an HPEOneview.Appliance.Update.Pending object containing the update file name, version, and related metadata. This cmdlet is distinct from firmware baseline operations. It applies exclusively to the HPE OneView management appliance software itself — not to the firmware on managed servers or enclosures. If no pending update is found, the cmdlet returns nothing (an empty result).

​
Parameters

​
ApplianceConnection
Object
Specify one or more appliance connection objects or hostnames. Defaults to the default connected appliance ($Global:ConnectedSessions | Where-Object Default).Aliases: Appliance

​
Examples

if ($pending) {
    Write-Host "Pending update found: $($pending.fileName) version $($pending.version)"
    Install-OVUpdate -InstallNow
