For example: E012
Baseline Version Specifies the version belongs to the imported catalog. For
example: E013
Type Specifies the component type. For example: Firmware,
BIOS, Driver, Application
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.
