I've checking the last released notes and the upcoming updates and sadly I have not seen any plan to implement this feature.
But it's true that it would be helpful to be able to see the ongoing or scheduled updates so you can see it in the firmware section. I will make sure to contact our local OME expert and ask them if they have considered this functionality.
If I get a response I will come back to this post.
With this...can we PLEASE get some improvements to OME in the success rate of staging updates to install on the next reboot? We have experienced extremely high transparent failure rates with scheduling/staging updates to be installed on the next reboot.
What I mean is: we submit a job to stage updates on any number of servers, and OME will report them successful, but in reality, many of them (over half in many cases) will just have the updates downloaded, but not scheduled. As far as I can find, there is no way (via the iDRAC directly or via OME) to schedule updates that are downloaded, so it isn't like we can run a follow-up job to try and schedule updates that were downloaded, but not scheduled.

This really is a huge problem.
