Firmware update
Using Lifecycle Controller, the system can be updated
using the repositories accessible through FTP or on a locally attached
USB drive, DVD, or network share. Use the
Firmware Update page to:
- View the current version of the installed applications and firmware.
- View a list of available updates.
- Select the required updates, downloads (automatic), and then apply the updates to the following components listed in the table.
- NOTE: When you update the firmware on a BCM57 xx and 57 xxx adapters, you will notice that the cards are displayed as QLogic. This is due to the acquisition of Broadcom NetXtreme II by QLogic.
The following table lists the components that support the Firmware Update feature.
- NOTE: When multiple firmware updates are applied through out-of-band methods or using the Lifecycle Controller GUI, the updates are ordered in the most efficient possible manner to reduce unnecessary restarting of a system.
