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 CMC. CMC
firmware should be updated first, before updating IOMINF firmware.
IOMINF updates are allowed by CMC if it detects that the IOMINF
firmware is out-of-date with the image contained in CMC file system. If
the IOMINF firmware is up-to-date, CMC prevents 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 instructions to follow:
• 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 performs a restart when the update is complete. When the update is
complete, the new firmware is displayed and the updated system is no longer
present on the Firmware Update page.
Updating the Server iDRAC Firmware
NOTE: The iDRAC (on a Server) resets and become temporarily unavailable after
firmware updates have been uploaded successfully.
NOTE: The iDRAC firmware must be at version 1.4 or greater for servers
with iDRAC, or 2.0 or greater for servers with iDRAC6 Enterprise. If updating iDRAC
firmware to 3.0 or greater from an iDRAC version less than 2.3, the iDRAC firmware
must first be updated to version 2.3 before updating to version 3.0 or greater.
