The Server Component Update page provides the following sections:
• Component/Device Update Filter: This section is used to control the
viewing of components and/or devices in the
Firmware Inventory section.
By enabling the filter for a component or device type, the
Firmware
Inventory
section is modified to display only the enabled component or
device across all servers.
After a filter selection is made and the filtered set of components and
devices is displayed in the inventory section, further filtering may occur
when a component or device is selected for update. For example, if the
BIOS filter is selected, then the inventory section displays all the servers
with only their BIOS component. If a BIOS component on one of the
servers is selected, the inventory is further filtered to display the servers
that match the model name of the selected server.
If no filter is selected and a selection for update of a component or device
is made on the inventory section, then the filter associated with that
selection is automatically enabled. Further filtering may occur where the
inventory section displays all the servers that have a match for the selected
component in terms of model, type or some form of identity. For example,
if a BIOS component on one of the servers is selected for update, the filter
is set to the BIOS automatically and the inventory section displays the
servers that match the model name of the selected server.
Enabling the filter allows the associated component or device to be filtered
on the
Firmware Inventory section. After a filter is enabled, only the
associated components or devices can be viewed across all servers present
in the chassis. The filter is a pass filter; this means that it only permits
components or devices associated with the filter and excludes all others.
One or more (or all) filters can be selected as needed.
The components and devices are grouped into the following categories:
–BIOS
–iDRAC
– Unified Server Configurator (Lifecycle Controller)
– 32-bit Diagnostics
–OS-Driver Pack
– Network Interface Controllers (NIC) and RAID Controllers
