You can upgrade or downgrade the firmware version of device(s) on the:
All Devices page: Recommended for updating firmware of multiple devices. From the Devices menu, select Devices. Select the devices, click More Actions > Update Firmware.
All Devices page: Recommended for updating firmware of a single device. From the Devices menu, select Devices. Select the device, click View Details > Firmware.
Configuration-Firmware page: From the Configuration menu, select Firmware. Select the devices, click Check Compliance > View Report.
NOTE: When a device is connected, the firmware version, if earlier than
baseline version, is not automatically updated. You must update the
firmware version. It is recommended to update device firmware
during maintenance windows to prevent the devices or environment
going offline during business hours.
In the left pane, select the group to which belongs to. Devices that are associated with the group are listed. See Device list.
NOTE: When you select device(s), ensure that they are associated with
one or more firmware baselines. Else, the devices are not displayed
in the compliance report, and therefore cannot be updated.
In the devices list, select the check box corresponding to the device(s).
Click More Actions > Update Firmware.
In the Update Firmware dialog box:
In the Select Firmware Source section:
From the Baseline drop-down menu, select the baseline that must
be used for comparing and upgrading or rolling back the device firmware. A list of devices that are associated with the selected firmware
baseline is displayed. The compliance level of each device is displayed in the COMPLIANCE column. Based on the compliance level, you can upgrade or downgrade the firmware version. For information about the field description
on this page, see Viewing device firmware compliance report. However, when you are checking the compliance of an individual device on the View Details page, you can upgrade or roll back the firmware version. See Roll back an individual device firmware version.
Select the check boxes corresponding to the devices that must be
updated.
Click Next.
You can upgrade or downgrade by using individual update package
also. Click Individual Package, and then complete the on-screen instructions. Click Next.
In the Prerequisites section, prerequisites if any,
for the device are displayed. Click Next.
In the Schedule section, select:
Update
Now: The firmware version is updated and matched to the version
available in the associated catalog. To make the update become effective
during the next device restart, select the Stage for next
server reboot check box.
Reset iDRAC: Select to initiate a normal reboot operation on the iDRAC before the firmware update is initiated.
Clear Job Queue: Select to clear all jobs (scheduled, completed, and failed) before the firmware update is initiated.
Schedule
Later: Select to specify a date and time when the firmware version
must be updated. You can run the job later.
NOTE: If the device is not associated with any baseline, the Baseline drop-down menu is not populated. To associate
a device to a baseline, see Creating the firmware
baseline.
