Unsupported firmware for enclosures
When adding an enclosure, the appliance:
• Generates an alert if the logical interconnect firmware for the interconnects is below the
required minimum level or if the interconnect firmware levels do not match. You must update
the logical interconnect firmware from the Logical Interconnects screen or REST APIs.
• Updates the OA firmware automatically, if below the required minimum
• Updates the iLO firmware automatically, if below the required minimum
Unsupported firmware for server profiles
You are prevented from applying server profiles if the associated iLO firmware is below the minimum
supported version, and instead, are directed to the Server Hardware screen to update iLO firmware.
Unsupported firmware for interconnects
If you attempt to add an interconnect with firmware that is below the minimum supported version,
an alert is generated. You must update the logical interconnect firmware from the Logical
Interconnects screen or REST APIs.
The Firmware panel of the Logical Interconnects screen displays the installed version of firmware
and the firmware baseline for each interconnect.
