Description

Tried to re-run an update on a sled that had failed trying to update at the write host-boot-flash step. A step that happens while it's in A2. Easy enough to workaround by just powering it on but would be nice if wicket didn't fail here.

Research direction

Start by locating wicket’s update handling for the write host-boot-flash step and the sled state transition into A2. Inspect the retry path for a sled already in A2, then verify that re-running the update no longer fails and that the sled reaches the intended update state.
