Using the CMC Web Interface 167
Updating the IOM Infrastructure Device Firmware
By performing this update, the firmware for a component of the IOM device is
updated, but not the firmware of the IOM device itself; the component is the
interface circuitry between the IOM device and the CMC. The update image
for the component resides in the CMC file system, and the component displays
as an updatable device on the CMC Web GUI only if the current revision on
the component and the component image on the CMC do not match.
1
Log back in to the CMC Web interface.
2 Select Chassis in the system tree.
3 Click the Update tab. The Updatable Components page appears.
4 Select the IOM device to update by selecting the Update Targets check
box for that IOM device.
5 Click the Apply IOM Update button below the IOM component list.
NOTE: The Firmware Image field does not display for an IOM infrastructure
device (IOMINF) target because the required image resides on the CMC. The
CMC firmware should be updated first, before updating IOMINF firmware.
IOMINF updates are allowed by the CMC if it detects that the IOMINF
firmware is out-of-date with the image contained in the CMC file system.
If the IOMINF firmware is up-to-date, the CMC will prevent IOMINF
updates. Up-to-date IOMINF devices are be listed as updatable devices.
6 Click Begin Firmware Update . The Firmware Update Progress section
provides firmware update status information. A status indicator displays
on the page while the image file uploads. File transfer time can vary greatly
based on connection speed. When the internal update process begins, the
page automatically refreshes and the Firmware update timer displays.
Additional items to note:
• Do not use the
Refresh button or navigate to another page during
the file transfer.
• Update status displays in the
Update State field; this field is
automatically updated during the file transfer process.
NOTE: No file transfer timer is displayed when updating IOMINF firmware.
The update process may cause a brief loss of connectivity to the IOM device since
the device restarts when the update is complete.
