2. From the Component drop-down menu, select the controller for which you want to view, commit, or delete the pending operations.
   The list of pending operations is displayed for the selected controller.

   NOTE

   • Pending operations are created for import foreign configuration, clear foreign configuration, security key operations, and encrypt virtual disks. But, they are not displayed in the Pending Operations page and in the Pending Operations pop-up message.
   • Jobs for PCIe SSD cannot be created from the Pending Operations page
3. To delete the pending operations for the selected controller, click Delete All Pending Operations.
4. From the drop-down menu, select one of the following and click Apply to commit the pending operations:
   • Apply Now — Select this option to commit all the operations immediately. This option is available for PERC 9 controllers with the latest firmware versions.
   • At Next Reboot — Select this option to commit all the operations during the next system reboot.
   • At Scheduled Time — Select this option to commit the operations at a scheduled day and time.
     • Start Time and End Time — Click the calendar icons and select the days. From the drop-down menus, select the time. The action is applied between the start time and end time.
     • From the drop-down menu, select the type of reboot:

       • Graceful Shutdown

       • Force Shutdown

       • Power Cycle System (cold boot)

5. If the commit job is not created, a message indicating that the job creation was not successful is displayed. Also, the message ID and the recommended response action are displayed.
6. If the commit job is created successfully, a message indicating that the job ID is created for the selected controller is displayed. Click Job Queue to view the progress of the job in the Job Queue page.
   If the clear foreign configuration, import foreign configuration, security key operations, or encrypt virtual disk operations are in pending state, and if these are the only operations pending, then you cannot create a job from the Pending Operations page. You must perform any other storage configuration operation or use RACADM or WSMan to create the required configuration job on the required controller.

   You cannot view or clear pending operations for PCIe SSDs in the Pending Operations page. Use the racadm command to clear the pending operations for PCIe SSDs.
