Updating the management module firmware
The methods of updating the management module firmware and the MX7000 firmware components are described in this
chapter.
In MCM environment, perform the firmware update for all devices from the lead chassis. Also, select the IOMs and storage sleds
as individual devices and not as chassis components, for a successful firmware update.
NOTE: Ensure that you upgrade the OME-Modular firmware before upgrading OS10.
You can update the management module firmware using the following methods:
1. Individual package method—Through OME–Modular web interface or RESTful API
2. Catalog-based compliance method
To update the firmware using the Individual package method:
1. Download the DUP from the www.dell.com/support/drivers.
2. On the OME–Modular web interface, go to Devices > Chassis and select the chassis for which you want to update the
firmware.
3. Click Update Firmware.
The Select Firmware Source window is displayed.
4. Select the Individual package option and click Browse to go to the location where you have downloaded the DUP and click
Next.
Wait for the comparison report. The supported components are displayed.
5. Select the required components, for example: OME–Modular, and click Update to start the firmware update.
You can schedule the update process to start at the time you want.
6. Go to the Monitor > Jobs page to view the job status.
NOTE:
The console is inaccessible during the OME–Modular update process. After the OME–Modular update process,
allow 3-5 minutes for the console to reach a steady state.
