      When attempting simultaneous BIOS and BMC firmware update on Dell R740, the BMC update might fail, leaving the server powered down and unresponsive. This issue occurs when the update process does not complete successfully, causing the system to remain in a non-operational state.

      Description of problem:

      I created a hostfirmwarecomponents with a BMC and BIOS F/W update for a Dell R740 server.  The BIOS update was successfully applied but the BMC was not and the server was left in a powered down state.
