A Firmware update can be achieved by invoking the InstallFromURI() method in the class
DCIM_SoftwareInstallationService. Firmware update is performed in several stages as described in the
next sections. The steps are demonstrated in examples in Section 7.6 and Section 7.7.
Note: When using WSMAN command to initiate update jobs, make sure to wait for two seconds
before submitting a second job in order to avoiding racing conditions.

The first stage is a request to initiate and download the update image from a source defined by the
user by invoking the InstallFromURI() method.

Downloading the update package may take several minutes. The second stage is to monitor the
download. The download status may be monitored by enumerating or getting the instance of the
corresponding job.

schedule the update, use the SetupJobQueue() method of the class DCIM_JobService in Section 10.2.1.
