Explanation

To perform a firmware upgrade on Cisco UCS B-Series servers without automatically restarting the blade servers, you should configure a maintenance policy with the reboot policy set to user-acknowledge. This ensures that the firmware upgrade can proceed immediately, but the servers will not reboot until the user explicitly approves it. This approach allows you to control when the servers are restarted, preventing unplanned downtime during the upgrade.
