Go to dell.com to download the latest device drivers associated with the firmware update.
Updating OME-Modular to 1.30.00
You can update to OME-Modular 1.30.00 from different versions. For more information, see OME-M firmware update matrix
section.
NOTE: If you select all the management modules in an MCM group, OME-M updates them in a required order.
NOTE: Updating to 1.10.x or later may result in the alert log alert HWC7522. You may have to perform a system reseat
power action on the MX7116n or pass-through module (PTM) IOMs.
NOTE: If the firmware update of a member chassis is nonresponsive for more than two hours, cancel the job using Stop
Job option on the Job Details page. Check the firmware update status on the member chassis directly. The Stop Job
option would stop the firmware update on specific target which was nonresponsive and goes to the next target update.
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 1.30.00
While updating the management module to 1.30.00 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 1.30.00.
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.
