Using the CMC Web Interface 201
To update the CMC firmware:
1
On the Firmware Update page, select CMC or CMCs to update by
selecting the
Update Targets check box for CMC(s). Both CMCs can be
updated at the same time.
2 Click the Apply CMC Update button below the CMC component list.
NOTE: The default CMC firmware image name is firmimg.cmc. CMC firmware
should be updated first, before updating IOM infrastructure device firmware.
3 In the Firmware Image field, enter the path to the firmware image file on
your management station or shared network, or click
Browse to navigate to
the file location.
4 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 instructions to follow:
• Do not use the
Refresh button or navigate to another page during the
file transfer.
• To cancel the process, click
Cancel File Transfer and Update - this
option is available only during file transfer.
• Update status displays in the
Update State field; this field is
automatically updated during the file transfer process.
NOTE: The update may take several minutes for 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 CMC is
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 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.
