NOTE You must
turn off all server modules before updating any enclosure component.
To update the PowerEdge VRTX enclosure components,
perform the following steps from the CMC Web interface:
Click Storage > Update to update
the hard drive firmware for each installed shared storage hard drive.
Click Chassis Overview > Update to update the CMC firmware.
NOTE Ensure that you update both the CMC firmware by selecting both the Active and Standby controller check boxes.
After the firmware update is complete, the
CMC restarts. Access to the CMC web interface is lost for several
minutes.
Click Chassis Overview > Update to update the PowerEdge VRTX enclosure infrastructure firmware.
This update results in the PowerEdge VRTX
enclosure automatically getting power cycled. CMC reset and the access
to the CMC web interface are lost for several minutes.
Click Storage > Update to update
the PowerEdge VRTX storage backplane expander firmware.
Enable all the Shared PERC 8 controllers installed
in the enclosure. If the second Shared PERC 8 controller is set to Disabled PERC (Integrated 2), use the CMC command ‘racadm raid enableperc:RAID.ChassisIntegrated.2-1’ to enable
the disabled controller.
PowerEdge VRTX enclosure will execute an enclosure
power cycle after running the Shared PERC 8 enablement command.
Click Storage > Update to update
the Shared PERC 8 controller firmware on all installed controllers.
Update both Shared PERC 8 controllers at the same time.
NOTE After the controller firmware update, if you want to disable the
second Shared PERC 8 controller for the storage backplane expander
firmware update, use the following CMC command: ‘racadm raid
disableperc:Raid.ChassisIntegrated.2-1’
Executing
this command results in an enclosure power cycle.
