Updating 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

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 interface only if the current revision on the component and the

component image on CMC do not match.

Before updating IOM infrastructure device firmware, make sure the CMC firmware is updated.

NOTE:

CMC allows IOM infrastructure device firmware (IOMINF) updates only 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firmware is out-of-date with the image contained in CMC file system.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 not listed as updatable devices.

To update the IOM Infrastructure device firmware, in the CMC Web interface:

1. Go to Chassis Overview → I/O Module Overview → Update.

The IOM Firmware Update page is displayed.

Alternatively, go to any of the following:

• Chassis Overview → Update → IOM Coprocessor

• Chassis Overview → CMC Firmware → Apply CMC Update → IOM Coprocessor

• Chassis Overview → iKVM Firmware → Apply iKVM Update → IOM Coprocessor

The Firmware Update page is displayed, which provides a link to access the IOM Firmware Update

page.

2. In the IOM Firmware Update page, in the IOM Firmware section, select the checkbox in the Update

column for the IOM you want to update the firmware and click Apply Firmware Update .

The Update Status section provides firmware update status information. A status indicator displays

on the page while the image file uploads. File transfer time varies based on connection speed. When

the internal update process begins, the page automatically refreshes and the Firmware update timer

is displayed.

NOTE:

• Do not click the Refresh icon or navigate to another page during the file transfer.

• The file transfer timer is not displayed when updating IOMINF firmware.

• If the IOM Coprocessor has the latest firmware version, the check box is not displayed in the

Update column.

When the update is complete, there is a brief loss of connectivity to the IOM device since it resets

and the new firmware is displayed on the IOM Firmware Update page.
