i. Continue through the subsequent screens to accept the license agreements and browse to a location
where you save the utilities zip file.
Step 4 Extract the contents of the standalone-host-utilities.1.2.2d.zip file. Note the location to which
the
hostUpgrade_<version>.iso file is saved.
Step 5 Prepare the ISO on either local media for local upgrade, or as a virtual device for remote upgrade:

a. Burn the ISO image onto a writable DVD.
b. Connect a VGA monitor and USB keyboard to the Cisco C-Series server.
c. Insert the DVD into the DVD drive of the Cisco C-Series server.
• For remote upgrade—Perform these steps before you go to Step 6:

Enter the CIMC IP address for that server in the address field of the browser, then enter your
user name and password.
b. Launch a KVM Console window (click the KVM keyboard icon).
c. When the Virtual KVM Console window launches, select Tools > Launch Virtual Media.
d. In the Virtual Media Session window, click Add Image and then use the dialog to navigate to
the utility ISO file and select it. Navigate to the location where you downloaded the ISO. The
ISO image is displayed in the Client View pane.

file that you added, and then wait for mapping to complete. Observe the progress in the Details
pane.
Now the ISO file is mapped as a remote device.
