Updating Server Component Firmware

The one-to-many update feature in CMC enables you to update server component firmware across multiple servers. You can update the server components using the Dell Update Packages available on the local system or on a network share. This operation is enabled by leveraging the Lifecycle Controller functionality on the server.

  • NOTE: To update component firmware, the CSIOR option must be enabled for servers. To enable CSIOR on:
    • 11th generation servers — After restarting the server, from the CTRL-E setup, select System Services, enable CSIOR, and then save the changes.
    • 12th generation servers and later— After restarting the server, from the F2 setup, select iDRAC Settings > Lifecycle Controller , enable CSIOR and save the changes.

The Update from File method enables you to update the server component firmware using DUP files stored on a local system. You can select the individual server components to update the firmware using the required DUP files. You can update large number of components at a time by using an SD Card to store DUP file of more than 48 MB memory size.

  • NOTE:
    • While selecting the individual server components for update, make sure that there are no dependencies between the selected components. If not, selecting some components that have dependencies on other components for update may cause the server to stop functioning abruptly.
    • Make sure to update the server components in the recommended order. If not, the process of component firmware update may become unsuccessful.. For more information about updating the server component firmware, see Recommended Workflow for Performing Updates on PowerEdge Servers .
The Single Click all blade update or the Update from Network Share method enables you to update the server component firmware using DUP files stored on a network share. You can use the Dell Repository Manager (DRM) based update feature to access the DUP files stored on a network share and update the server components in a single operation. You can setup a custom remote repository of firmware DUPs and binary images using the Dell Repository Manager and share it on the Network Share.
  • NOTE: The Single Click all blade update method has the following benefits:
    • Enables you to update all the components on all the blade servers with minimal clicks.
    • All the updates are packaged in a directory. This avoids individual upload of each component’s firmware.
    • Faster and consistent method of updating the server components.
    • Enables you to maintain a standard image with the required updates versions of the server components that can be used to update multiple servers in a single operation.
    • You can copy the directories of updates from the Dell Server Update Utility (SUU) download DVD or create and customize the required update versions in the Dell Repository Manager (DRM).  The latest version of the Dell Repository Manager is not required to create this directory. However, DRM version 1.8 provides an option to create a repository (directory of updates) based on the M1000e inventory that was exported. For more information on saving chassis inventory report see Saving Chassis Inventory Report Using CMC Web Interface . For information on creating a repository using the DRM, see the Dell Repository Manager Data Center Version 1.8 User’s Guide and the Dell Repository Manager Business Client Version 1.8 User’s Guide available at dell.com/support/manuals.

Lifecycle Controller provides module update support through iDRAC. It is recommended to update the CMC firmware before updating the server component firmware modules. After updating the CMC firmware, in the CMC Web interface, you can update the server component firmware on the Chassis Overview > Server Overview > Update > Server Component Update page. It is also recommended to select all the component modules of a server to be updated together. This enables Lifecycle Controller to use its optimized algorithms to update the firmware, reducing the number of reboots.

  • NOTE: iDRAC firmware must be at version 3.2 or later to support this feature.

If Lifecycle Controller service is disabled on the server, the Component/Device Firmware Inventory section displays Lifecycle Controller may not be enabled.
