View the baseline compliance report
On the Configuration > Firmware/Driver Compliance page, the compliance status of the baselines is indicated. A Donut
chart provides a summary of baselines' compliance to their respective catalogs. When more than one device is associated with
a baseline, the status of the least compliant device to the baseline is indicated as the compliance level of that baseline. For
example, the compliance level of a baseline with only one device with compliance as 'critical, is indicated as 'critical'
even if
most of the devices are compliant.
You can view the firmware and driver compliance of individual devices associated with a baseline and choose to either upgrade
or downgrade the firmware and/or driver version on that device. To view the baseline compliance report:
● Select the check box corresponding to the baseline and click View Report in the right pane.
On the Compliance Report page the list of devices associated with the baseline and their compliance level is displayed. By
default, the devices in Critical and Warning statuses are displayed.
NOTE: If each device has its own status, the highest severity status is considered as the status of the group. For more
information about Rollup Health status, see the MANAGING THE ROLLUP HEALTH STATUS BY USING IDRAC ON THE
DELL EMC 14TH GENERATION AND LATER POWEREDGE SERVERS white paper on the Dell TechCenter.
● COMPLIANCE: Indicates the compliance level of a device to the baseline. For more information about symbols used for
device firmware/driver compliance levels, see Manage the device firmware and drivers on page 72.
● TYPE: Type of device for which the compliance report is generated.
● DEVICE NAME/COMPONENTS: By default, the Service Tag of the device is displayed.
1. To view information about components in the device, click the > symbol.
A list of components and their compliance to the catalog is displayed.
NOTE:
For all the devices (except the MX7000 chassis) which are fully in compliance with the associate firmware
baseline, the > symbol is not displayed.
2. Select one or more check boxes corresponding to the devices whose firmware compliance status is 'Critical' and requires
an update.
3. Click Make Compliant. See Update the device firmware version by using the baseline compliance report.
● SERVICE TAG: Click to view complete information about the device on the <device name> page. For more information
about tasks you can complete on this page, see View and configure individual devices on page 64.
● REBOOT REQ: Indicates if the device must be restarted after updating the firmware.
● Info : Symbol corresponding to every device component is linked to the support site page from where the firmware/
driver can be updated. Click to open the corresponding Driver Details page on the support site.
● CURRENT VERSION: Indicates the current firmware version of the device.
● BASELINE VERSION: Indicates the corresponding firmware and driver version of the device available in the associated
catalog.
● To export the compliance report to an Excel file, select the check boxes corresponding to the device, and then select from
Export.
●
To go back to the Firmware page, click Return to Firmware.
● To sort data based on a column, click the column title.
● To search for a device in the table, click Advanced Filters, and select or enter data in the filter boxes. See Advanced Filters
in OpenManage Enterprise Graphical User Interface overview on page 34.
Update firmware and/or drivers using the baseline compliance
report
After you run a firmware or driver compliance report, if the firmware or driver version on the device is earlier than the version on
the catalog, the Compliance Report page indicates the device firmware or driver status as Upgrade (
or ).
The firmware and driver version of the associated baseline devices is not automatically updated, hence, the user must initiate
the update. It is recommended to update the device firmware and/or driver during the maintenance windows to prevent the
devices or environment going offline during business hours.
