Aborting an Image Installation Job
You can abort an image installation job by clicking Abort from the Jobs page. This option is effective
only for multi-device jobs:
Note If the job involves a single device, then Abort will have no effect after the job begins and the job will
always run to completion.
•If the Sequential option is selected, then all the devices on which the job has not yet started will be
aborted.
