For any firmware update failures on member chassis, restart the firmware update only on the specific target from Lead
chassis.
Best practices for updating to 1.30.10
While updating the management module to 1.30.10 from an earlier version, ensure that there are no failed template deployment
jobs on the Jobs page. If failed deployment jobs exist, then the virtual identities that are reserved for the device for those failed
deployments, are added back to the free pool after upgrading to 1.30.10.
Updating management module firmware
NOTE: Ensure that you upgrade the OME-Modular firmware before upgrading OS10.
You can update the management module firmware using the following methods:
1. Individual package method—Through OME–Modular web interface or RESTful API
2. Catalog-based compliance method
To update the firmware using the Individual package method:
1. Download the DUP from the www.dell.com/support/drivers.
2. On the OME–Modular web interface, go to Devices > Chassis and select the chassis for which you want to update the
firmware.
3. Click Update Firmware.
The Select Firmware Source window is displayed.
4. Select the Individual package option and click Browse to go to the location where you have downloaded the DUP and click
Next.
Wait for the comparison report. The supported components are displayed.
5. Select the required components, for example: OME–Modular, and click Update to start the firmware update.
You can schedule the update process to start at the time you want.
6. Go to the Monitor > Jobs page to view the job status.
NOTE:
The console is inaccessible during the OME–Modular update process. After the OME–Modular update process, wait
for the console to reach a steady state.
Recovering failed Management Module firmware update process
If the firmware update of a management module (MM) fails, perform the following steps:
1. Perform a failover on the MM. If the failover fails, go to step 2.
2. Reset the active MM manually.
3. After the failover or reset is complete, check the firmware version to verify if the active MM is running the same or a later
version of OME-Modular, as the standby MM. If not, perform a reset on the MM to force failover.
4. Retry the firmware update.
Upgrading ethernet switch using DUP
WARNING:
For IOMs in full-switch mode, do not select both IOMs in a redundant pair simultaneously. This
action causes network outage.
NOTE: Upgrade the MX9116n and MX5108n switches only after updating the other MX7000 components to their
corresponding PowerEdge MX 1.30.00 baseline versions.
NOTE: The DUP update procedure is recommended for upgrading OS10, firmware, and ONIE on the MX9116n and MX5108n
switches.
NOTE: Upgrade the MX9116n and MX5108n switches to 10.5.1.9 or 10.5.2.6, only if the switches running are 10.5.0.9 or
certificate installed 10.5.0.7.
