Managing rmware
The rmware feature in OME–Modular helps you to update the rmware of all the components in the chassis. The components include
compute sleds, ethernet IOMs, storage IOMs, and SAS IOMs. The rmware updates can be sources from the Dell web site or a custom
repository setup using Repository Manager.
You must have the chassis administrator role and the device update privilege for the chassis to update the rmware on the chassis. To
update the rmware on the components, you must have the device-specic manager role and device update privilege to perform the
updates.
The MX chassis bundle refers to the following update packages:
• Chassis manager DUP—This DUP comprises of the OME–Modular rmware.
• Storage sled DUP—This DUP contains updates for the Dell storage sleds in the chassis.
• Storage IOM DUP—This DUP contains updates for the chassis storage IOMs.
The DUPs for network IOMs and switches are licensed software and are available as individual DUPs. For external storage, the DUPs are
bundled in the catalog. If the hard drives or storage enclosures are assigned to a compute sled, you can update them using iDRAC.
However, you cannot update the assigned or unassigned hard drives through a chassis context. You can map the drives to a server to
update them.
The compute sled bundle refers to the packages for the server components—BIOS, NIC, RAID, hard drives, and iDRAC.
The rmware update process involves specifying the catalog, retrieving the rmware inventory, checking compliance, and updating the
rmware.
The available baselines are displayed on the Conguration > Firmware page. You can view a summary of the baseline compliance and a pie
chart on the top of the page. You can also view the summary of the desired baseline on the right side of the Firmware page.
The baseline information that is displayed on the Firmware page is—compliance, name of the baseline, job status, catalog type, timestamp
when the baseline was last used.
You can perform the following tasks on the Firmware page:
• Create baseline
• Edit baseline
• View report
• Delete baseline
• Manage catalogs
• Check compliance
Topics:
• Creating baselines
