Compatibilidad de versión
La función de compatibilidad de versión le permite actualizar las versiones de firmware de los componentes que son compatibles con los
componentes del sistema. Si hay problemas de compatibilidad, Lifecycle Controller muestra durante la actualización mensajes de error para
indicar que actualice o revierta la versión.
Updating firmware
You can update to the latest version of Lifecycle Controller using the Firmware Update wizard. It is recommended that you run the
Firmware Update wizard regularly to access the latest updates. You can update the component firmware by either using update
repositories or individual DUPs—single component DUP.
NOTE:
The firmware for iDRAC and Lifecycle Controller is combined in a single package.
Make sure that the file name for the single component DUPs does not have any blank space.
If Collect System Inventory On Restart (CSIOR) is disabled while performing an update, Lifecycle Controller automatically updates
the system inventory.
Both 32–bit and 64–bit DUPs and catalog are supported. If both the 32-bit and 64-bit DUPs are available in a catalog, the 64-bit
DUP is preferred for the firmware update. 32-bit DUP is used for firmware update only when 64-bit DUP is not available in a
catalog.
When you check for updates, all compatible versions are listed. Before you install the update, ensure that you select the latest
available version and also ensure that it is newer than the version currently installed. If you want to control the version that iDRAC
detects, create a custom repository using Dell Repository Manager (DRM) and configure iDRAC to use that repository to check
for updates.
NOTE:
When SEKM mode is enabled on a controller, iDRAC Firmware downgrade/upgrade shall fail when tried from a SEKM to a
non-SEKM iDRAC version. iDRAC Firmware upgrade/downgrade shall pass when done within the SEKM versions.
PERC firmware downgrade to a non-SEKM version shall fail when SEKM encryption mode is enabled on PERC controller.
SEKM functionalities require iDRAC Datacenter or Enterprise license with SEKM license.
To update the firmware:
1. Start Lifecycle Controller. For more information, see Starting Lifecycle Controller.
2. In the left pane, click Firmware Update.
3. In the right pane, click Launch Firmware Update.
4. Select any one of these update repositories: FTP Server, Local Drive (CD, DVD, or USB), or Network Share (CIFS, NFS, HTTP,
or HTTPS), and click Next.
