CMC Firmaware Update on M1000e
Hello,
is the a required way to update the CMC firmware?
Why i am asking:
I have updated the firmware first on the standby controller, then in the second step i updated the primary controller.
But, after power on the first blade (M910), it came up with following error:
"System Service Update required"
Do may be the firmware update from the CMC correspond to this error?
Should i first update the idrac's from the blades and then the cmc?
After downloading and executing the Lifecycle Controller Repair Package i can access the idrac again.
But for the next time i want to prevent this error.
Regard Marc

I'm entirely not sure that it's a CMC related issue. It seems that your DRAC memory might have gotten corrupted.
I found the error message you encountered in the following M1000e documentation:
http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/pem/en/hom/html/about.htm
System service update required - The iDRAC6 Enterprise Card flash memory may be corrupted.
Recommended action:
Restore the flash memory using the latest version on ftp.dell.com or support.dell.com. See the iDRAC6 User's Guide for instructions on performing a field replacement of the flash memory.
It seems that you took the correct action - If you get that error message again you probably want to contact Dell support.

Hi,
Do we require downtime to upgrade CMC firmware? Please tell me.

No. It only affects the drac connectivity to the chassis for a few seconds while the interface is upgraded.. Your blades will not be affected at all.
