4. Select the Baseline option and select the required baseline from the drop-down.
5. Select the OME–Modular component from the comparison report.
The supported components are displayed.
6. Select the required components, for example: OME–Modular, and click Update to start the firmware update.
7. Go to the Monitor > Jobs page to view the job status.
NOTE: Use the Add option on the Configuration > Firmware > Catalog Management option to download the
catalog from https://www.dell.com/support. For more information see, Managing Catalogs section.
Updating iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller using OME-Modular
1. If OME-Modular is managing a chassis group, then log in to OME-Modular interface of the Lead chassis.
2. Click Devices > Compute. A list of the available compute devices in the chassis or chassis group is displayed.
3. In the list header, select the checkbox to select all compute devices on the current page. If there are multiple pages, then go
to each page and select the checkbox.
4. After selecting all the compute devices, click Update Firmware.
5. In the pop-up wizard, select the individual package and click Browse to select the iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller DUP.
6. Once the DUP is uploaded, click Next and select the Compliance checkbox.
7. Click Finish to start the update on all compute devices.
8. Allow the job to complete before proceeding to update the components, Dell EMC Server BIOS PowerEdge MX740c and Dell
EMC Server BIOS PowerEdge MX840c.
NOTE:
As an alternative method of updating compute hosts and/or storage sleds, you can implement catalog based
updates once the catalogs are updated with the baseline versions. For more information, see Managing catalogs.
Updating PowerEdge MX740c BIOS and PowerEdge MX840c Server BIOS
Repeat the steps described in the section, Updating iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller using OME-Modular, to update Dell EMC
Server BIOS PowerEdge MX740c and Dell EMC Server BIOS PowerEdge MX840c, as applicable.
Updating adapters
Download and install the operating system drivers for your device adapter that released with the device adapter firmware.
Follow the device adapter driver installation instructions for your operating system.
Repeat the steps described in the section, Updating iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller using OME-Modular, to update QLogic
26XX series Fibre Channel adapters, QLogic 27XX series Fibre Channel adapters, QLogic 41xxx series adapters, Mellanox
ConnectX-4 Lx Ethernet Adapter Firmware, Intel NIC Family Version 19.5.x Firmware for X710, XXV710 and XL710 adapters,
Emulex Picard-16/Picard-32 adapters, as applicable. Go to dell.com to download the latest device drivers associated with the
firmware update.
Updating OME-Modular to 1.20.10
You can update to OME-Modular 1.20.10 from different versions. For more information, see OME-M firmware update matrix
section.
NOTE:
Updating to 1.10.x or 1.20.x 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.
