Compliance Type Specifies whether the component is Upgradable, Downgradable, or
Same.
• Upgradable: Component can be upgraded from the current
version.
• Downgradable: Component can be downgraded from the
current version.
• Same: Component current verison is same as the baseline
version.
1. By default, all the non-compliant upgradable components are selected.
Clear the selected components or select the non-compliant downgradable components that you want to update. However, if you want
to change any of the default selections, ensure that the dependencies between the corresponding component firmware and drivers
are met.
2. Once components are selected for update, under Compliance Details, click Next: Summary to proceed to the summary report
page for confirmation.
NOTE: When components are selected and confirmed, if lockdown mode is enabled in iDRAC on the target node, an
error occurs and you cannot proceed to update. Disable the lockdown mode on the target node that is being
managed by OMIMSWAC before updating the target node. To disable iDRAC system lockdown mode, see iDRAC
documents.
• To change the components selection during update operation, in the Summary tab, click Back to go to the Compliance Details
tab, and select or clear the selection of components.
• If you want to change the update source and rerun the compliance, click Exit to go to the Update Source.
NOTE:
If a catalog does not contain updates to a component, then the component is not displayed in the compliance
report generated by using OpenManage Integration with Microsoft Windows Admin Center integration.
Step 3: Updating—Target node components
After generating the compliance report in the Compliance Details tab and confirming the components selection in the Summary tab,
you can proceed to update the target node components as follows:
1. To update the BIOS, driver, firmware, and/or system management application of the PowerEdge server to the latest version, under
Summary, click Next: Update. You will be directed to the Update Status window.
NOTE:
While the update is in progress, it is not recommended to exit or close the browser. If you close or exit the
browser, target node update may fail.
2. OMIMSWAC notifies once the update job is finished.
• After successful update, compliance report (based on the previous selections) will be recomputed automatically and displayed in
the Update tab.
• If the update operation fails, check the log files stored at the following path for more details.
○ Gateway system: <Windows Directory>\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Local\Temp
\generated\logs
○ Windows 10 gateway system: <Windows installed drive>\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Local\Temp
\generated\logs
• To run the compliance report again, click Re-run Compliance and provide the compliance settings details.
Update nodes of HCI and failover clusters
The Cluster-Aware Updating (CAU) feature in OpenManage Integration with Windows Admin Center (OMIMSWAC) allows you to view
the compliance report (BIOS, driver, firmware, and/or system management application) and update the components of nodes of HCI and
failover clusters without affecting the workloads.
NOTE:
The CAU feature is supported for the following platforms with valid licenses:
• YX4X models of Dell EMC PowerEdge server and above with iDRAC firmware 4.00.00.00 or newer.
• Dell EMC Solutions for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI with iDRAC firmware 4.00.00.00 or newer.
