Updating firmware
Before updating the firmware on a chassis, compute, or storage sleds, ensure that all IOMs and network fabrics are healthy.
● Downgrading OME-M or MX7000 Network I/O components could result in loss of management configuration data and functionality.
● Selecting all components allows OME-M to properly sequence the component updates. When doing one or more individual
components, see readme documents to ensure that all pre-requisites and sequencing requirements have been met to avoid failures.
● Selecting a component that is part of a high-availability group, updates all other components in the group even if they were not
explicitly selected.
● When you select MX Network I/O module that is part of a fabric for ONIE update, all other nodes in the fabric are updated
automatically.
● MX Storage I/O modules must be explicitly selected in order to be updated.
● When you select multiple network IOMs for firmware update, member IOMs are updated first and the main IOM is updated later.
● OS10 firmware cannot handle more than one update job at a time. When an update is in progress, any additional update requests are
rejected and appropriate error messages are displayed.
NOTE: The Update Firmware button may be disabled temporarily during inventory refresh when a Refresh Inventory job or
Default Inventory job is run.
To update firmware:
1. On the Compliance Report page, select the device or component for which you want to update the firmware.
The Update Firmware window is displayed.
2. Select the Update Now option to update the firmware immediately or Schedule Later to update the firmware on the chosen date
and time.
NOTE:
If the system displays the local clock on the Time Configuration page even after you configured the NTP servers,
reconfigure the NTP servers.
NOTE: During firmware update, when the active MM reboots and the standby MM is active, some messages on the Execution
Details page for the firmware update are not displayed. The messages are not displayed owing to synchronization issues.
NOTE: During the OME–Modular firmware update, multiple users can upload the OME–Modular DUP using any interface.
However, a warning message may be displayed after the firmware update job is initiated.
NOTE: For nondefault VLAN, the management IPv6 IP of MX9116n or MX5108n IOMs is unreachable if, the DHCP V6
configuration in ToR switch does not have the IPV6 default gateway.
The number of IOMs that can be updated differs based on the IOM versions. The following table displays the number of IOMs that can
be updated at a time.
Table 23. IOM Firmware update matrix
IOM Version OME-M Version No. of IOMs
10.5.0.5 1.10.20 or later 4
10.5.0.7 1.20.00 or later 6
10.5.1.6 1.20.10 or later 6
10.5.2.3 1.30.00 and later No restrictions
You must group the IOMs for firmware update depending on the type of IOM. The following table displays an example of grouping 12
IOMs for firmware update.
