Updating firmware for PowerEdge MX
solution
Component and device firmware for the MX solution are rigorously tested as a validated solution stack or firmware baseline.
The details are listed in the table Updating MX7000 components using OME-Modular containing current and previous baselines.
When the Dell update packages (DUPs) are available on https://www.dell.com/support , a validated solution stack of the
chassis firmware catalog referencing them is published. OME-M compares the update packages with currently installed versions
using a Compliance Report, for more information, see Managing Firmware chapter.
The advantages of using OME-M to perform updates using the catalog:
● Automatically downloads the DUPs from the support site.
● Updating all the components simultaneously in the required order.
The sequence to update components and devices manually is described in Component update order section. For pre-requisite
firmware versions for updating OME-M, see Firmware update matrix.
In an MCM environment, perform the firmware update for all devices from the lead chassis. Also, select the IOMs and storage
sleds as individual devices and not as chassis components, for a successful firmware update.
