Owner manual

NOTE: In dual-domain configurations with two switches installed in the same interconnect bay
row of the BladeSystem c-Class enclosure, if storage enclosures connected to the passive switch
are not updated at the same time as the storage enclosures connected to the active switch, log out
of the CLI session of the active switch. Log into the CLI of the passive switch and change its status
to active by entering the command sw local force active. Then, use the outlined procedures
to update the storage enclosures connected to the now-active switch.
NOTE: If the flash or reset command do not execute successfully or display an error message,
consider the following:
• Only supported storage enclosures can be updated.
• All server blades that map to this storage enclosure must be powered off.
• If the switch status is a value other than Active or Not Redundant, firmware updates are not
allowed.
• If the VSM GUI or VSM CLI is already processing a firmware update on a switch or storage
enclosure, this task request cannot be processed.
Issue the rescan command to ensure displayed information is up-to-date. Correct any issues before
proceeding.
