Running firmware update wizard for vSAN clusters

1. To launch the Firmware Update wizard, in OpenManage Integration, click Clusters and perform either of the following substeps:
   • Click a cluster, select Actions > All OpenManage Integration Actions > Firmware Update.
   • In the Objects tab, select Actions > All OpenManage Integration Actions > Firmware Update.
   • Click a cluster, select Monitor > Dell EMC Cluster Information > Firmware. In the Firmware screen, click the Run Firmware Wizard link.
   • Right-click a cluster, select Actions > All OpenManage Integration Actions > Firmware Update.
   OMIVV checks compliance of the host and whether any other firmware update job is in progress in any host within the same cluster. After the verification, the Firmware Update page is displayed.
2. On the Welcome page, read the instructions, and click Next.
   The Select Servers page is displayed.
3. On the Select Servers page, in the Name tree view, use the check boxes to select the hosts.
4. Click Next.

   The Select Update Source page is displayed.

5. On the Select Update Source page, do the following:
   1. Select the driver repository profile, or firmware repository profile, or its combinations from the drop-down list.
      If Baseline repository is associated in Cluster profile, the associated Firmware and Driver repositories are automatically selected.
      By default, the model name of the host is selected in the Select Bundles area.
   2. If the firmware repository is selected, each model of the selected host has a drop-down list next to the model name from which you can select the required bundle for firmware update. Select the desired bundle from the drop-down list, and click Next.
      If the driver repository is selected, the Driver Selection page is displayed. The page displays the details of driver component such as hostname, Service Tag, Component Name, Vendor, Package Name, Current, Available, Update applicable, Reboot Required.
   NOTE OMIVV supports 32–bit and 64–bit bundles for firmware update. Apart from these bundles, OMIVV also creates a hybrid bundle when there are multiple bundles available in the catalog with the same release ID.

   NOTE 64-bit bundles are not supported for 12th generation hosts with iDRAC version 1.51 and earlier.
6. On the Driver Selection page, select the desired driver component that you want to update, and click Next.

   The components that are either in a downgrade or currently scheduled for update cannot be selected. You can select the components that are listed for downgrade by selecting the Allow Downgrade option.
   To filter comma-separated values from the content of the various components of the data grid, use Filter.

   You can also drag columns within the component data grid. If you want to export from the wizard, click .
