Updating Platform

You can update to the latest version of Lifecycle Controller using the Platform Update wizard. It is recommended that

you run the Platform Update wizard on a regular basis to access the latest updates. You can update the component

firmware either using update repositories or individual DUPs (single component DUP.)

NOTE: Make sure that the file name for the single component DUPs does not have any blank space.

To update the platform:

1. In the left pane, click Platform Update.

2. In the right pane, click Launch Platform Update.

3. Select the type of update and one of these update repositories: FTP Server, Local Drive, or Network Share.

4. Specify the details.

5. To verify if Lifecycle Controller is able to connect to the IP address that is provided, click Test Network Connection.

By default, it pings the Gateway IP, DNS server IP, host IP, and proxy IP.

NOTE: Lifecycle Controller cannot ping to the domain name and does not display its IP address if the DNS is not

able to resolve the domain name. Make sure that the issue with DNS is resolved and retry.

6. Click Next.

The Select Updates page is displayed with the component names for which the updates are available.

7. Select the components that require an update, and click Apply.

The update process is initiated and the firmware update is completed after rebooting the system several times

depending on the number of components selected.

NOTE: The system does not reboot if OS driver packs or hardware diagnostics are updated.
