150 Using the CMC Web Interface
NOTE: Firmware updates can only be canceled using the GUI; the command line
interface can not cancel a firmware update initiated by the GUI.
5 For a standby (secondary) CMC, when the update is complete the Update
State field displays "Done". For an active (primary) CMC, during the final
phases of the firmware update process, the browser session and connection
with the CMC will be lost temporarily as the active (primary) CMC is
taken off line. You must log in again after a few minutes, when the active
(primary) CMC has rebooted.
After the CMC resets, the new firmware is updated and displayed on the
Updatable Components page.
NOTE: After the firmware update, clear the Web browser cache. See your Web
browser’s online help for instructions on how to clear the browser cache.
