Specifications

Create Firmware Record Window
This window lets you add a firmware or boot PROM image to your Firmware Mgmt tab manually, as opposed
to having Inventory Manager automatically discover the image during a firmware discovery. When you are
using an alternate firmware server to perform remote firmware downloads, you must use this window to
manually create the firmware records associated with the alternate server, and add them to the Inventory
Manager database.
When you create a firmware record, it is added to the All Firmware folder and the Unknown folder in the
Firmware Mgmt tab. You will need to use the Assign Firmware window to assign the firmware or boot
PROM image to the appropriate product families or device types. You must also assign the alternate firmware
server to the appropriate devices using the Set Firmware Server window in order to see this image listed in the
Firmware Upgrade Wizard. This enables you to download the image to your remote network devices of that
family or type, using the Firmware Upgrade Wizard or the Boot PROM Upgrade Wizard.
To access this window, select the All Firmware folder in the left−panel Firmware Mgmt tab and select Tools
> Create Firmware Record, or right−click the All Firmware folder and select Create Firmware Record from
the menu. (You must have a configured alternate firmware server for this menu option to be available.)
