Deploy Firmware
Use the Deploy Firmware window to configure a deployment, whether triggered from resource
groups, individual resources, or the
Image Repository portlet. Deployment validates that the
selected image is appropriate for the selected devices, or appropriate devices within a group.
You have the option to select a transfer protocol, add target equipment or groups, execute
immediately, or schedule the deployment for a later date/time. If you create a deployment
schedule, save your configuration. Otherwise, close the window to abandon your edits.
NOTE:
When you add firmware to the Image Repository for Dell 35xx and 55xx devices, you must add both the
boot image and firmware image together to deploy to these devices.
You may see multiple options for selecting the configuration file to backup for PowerConnect (not Dell
EMC Networking FTOS) devices. Layer 2 Powerconnect switches have just running and startup
options while the Layer 3 router has running, startup and backup options, so different options appear
for the two sets of switches. When you do file backup for a group of devices, all those options are
combined. Select only the top entry selection for execution.
