Updating IOM Infrastructure Device Firmware

By performing this update, the rmware for a component of the IOM device is updated, but not the rmware 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 le

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 rmware, make sure the CMC rmware is updated.

NOTE

CMC allows IOM infrastructure device rmware (IOMINF) updates only if it detects that the IOMINF rmware is out-of-date with the

image contained in CMC le system. If the IOMINF rmware is up-to-date, CMC prevents IOMINF updates. Up-to-date IOMINF devices

are not listed as updatable devices.
