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.
