Viewing and applying pending operations
You can view and commit all pending operations for the storage controller. All the settings are either applied at once, during the next
reboot, or at a scheduled time based on the selected options. You can delete all the pending operations for a controller. You cannot
delete individual pending operations.
Pending Operations are created on the selected components (controllers, enclosures, physical disks, and virtual disks).
