152 Using the CMC Web Interface
7 Click Begin Firmware Update . The Firmware Update Progress section
provides firmware update status information. A status indicator displays
on the page while the image file uploads. File transfer time can vary greatly
based on connection speed. When the internal update process begins, the
page automatically refreshes and the Firmware update timer displays.
Additional items to note:
• Do not use the
Refresh button or navigate to another page during the
file transfer.
• To cancel the process, click
Cancel File Transfer and Update - this
option is available only during file transfer.
• Update status displays in the
Update State field; this field is
automatically updated during the file transfer process.
NOTE: No file transfer timer is displayed when updating IOMINF firmware. The
update process will cause a brief loss of connectivity to the IOM device since the
device will perform a restart when the update is complete.
NOTE: Firmware updates can only be canceled using the GUI; the command line
interface can not cancel a firmware update initiated by the GUI.
When the update is complete, the new firmware is updated and displayed on
the Updatable Components page.

NOTE: The iDRAC (on a Server) will reset and become temporarily unavailable
