Updating firmware

While updating firmware on a compute sled that has Fabrics and IOMs, ensure that both the Fabric and IOMs are healthy.

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, then 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, 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 non-default 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.

Rolling back firmware

If you are not convinced with the firmware update of a device or component, you can roll back the update to the version before

the update. The rollback option is enabled only if OME–Modular can access the firmware package of the previous version. The

following methods can be used to enable the access:

● A Device that has the rollback version (or N-1 version) that matches the previous version. Not all devices support a rollback

or N-1 version. The rollback version is displayed as a rollback candidate even if it does not match the version before the

update.

● An imported catalog that has a reference to the previous catalog version.

● You can browse for a firmware package that has the previous firmware version.

To roll back a firmware update:

1. On the Firmware page, click Rollback Firmware.

The Rollback Firmware window is displayed.

2. Select the component for which you want to roll back the firmware and click Rollback.

Deleting firmware

You can delete firmware baselines, if you have the administrator privilege.

To delete a firmware baseline:

On the Firmware page, select the baseline that you want to delete, and click Delete.

A message is displayed prompting you to confirm the delete operation.
