Updating firmware
You can update the firmware of one or more servers that are not compliant with ASM or not to the
minimum recommended level:
1. On the Apply Server Firmware Updates page, select one of the following options..
• Update Now — Select this option to update the firmware immediately.
ASM will apply the firmware updates immediately and then reboot to all servers within this
service. For servers belonging to a VMware vSphere cluster, servers will be updated one at a time
by putting it first into maintenance mode, then performing the firmware update and rebooting
the server, and finally bringing the server out of maintenance mode before moving on to the next
server.
• Apply Updates on Next Reboot — Select the option to update the firmware at the next server
reboot. ASM will stage the firmware update to each server selected until reboot.
SM will stage the firmware update to each server selected. The update will take effect at the next
server reboot.
• Schedule Update — Select this option and then select the date and time to update the firmware.
