NOTE: The update may take several minutes for the CMC.
5 For a standby CMC, when the update is complete the Update State field
displays "Done". For an active 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 CMC is taken offline. You must
log in again after a few minutes, when the active CMC has rebooted.
After the CMC resets, the new firmware is displayed on the
Firmware
Update
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.
