Applying updates on servers

You can apply immediate updates, or schedule the updates on servers or on a group of servers by

creating firmware update jobs. The jobs created for updates are listed under Job Viewer.

NOTE: If there are no applicable upgrades or downgrades for a server or a group of servers,

performing a firmware update on that server or a group of servers cause no action on the server or

group of servers.

Prerequisites:

• To perform updates on servers, you require update sources available on a Dell FTP site, local FTP site,

or Dell Repository Manager (DRM).

• Before applying the updates, clear the iDRAC job queue on the servers where the updates are applied.

You can apply firmware updates on a single component of a server, or to the entire environment.

However, you can update a single component only through an FTP source.
