Also, the repsority manager lets me make a 32-bit and 64-bit firmware ISO, which one do I make? Note: I have done this previously and followed your instructions and it did not work.

Thank you for your response. Now, do I use the SUU that is from the web site, or the one I made with repository manager? I didn't think the SUU ISO contains any firmware updates.

Hi Greg,

Thanks for writing,

I would love to help with the firmware update part. See if this helps,

In order to update the firmware of all the components on your server,

1. Download both SUU and SBUU.

2. Boot your server using the SBUU DVD.

3. Once it boots up with the SBUU DVD. Select Firmware update tab.

4. Now you should provide the input for the firmware updates.

Note : SBUU DVD does not contain the firmware updates files. So you need to now use SUU media.

5. You can either burn SUU DVD just like SBUU and provide the path of your SUU media (Extracted contents)

6. Simplest way is burn the SUU.iso into a DVD and after you select the firmware update using SBUU media. Select the local DVD option. You need to eject the SBUU DVD now and insert the SUU media.

7. It will automatically detect al the components for which and upgrade is required. Select those components and proceed with the upgrade.

8.If at all upgrade of some components fails, It will throw an error saying "upgrade of some components failed" , Else it automatically reboots after applying the updates.

9. Now check if the required components are upgraded to the newer versions.

See if this helps.

Thanks

Hi,

If you use the SUU.iso from the web. It will automatically list the components that are available for upgrade.

32 bit and 64 bit does matter only on if you are trying to upgrade firmware and drivers of your server components on top of an OS.

1. If you just download the SUU.iso and launch the suu launcher.exe by mounting.

2. SUU launcher.exe will generate the inventory comparison report based on the OS (for example : if you are OS is a pure 64 bit then SUU will inventory only the applicable 64 bit components else 32 bit components are inventoried and listed.

 

Conclusion : So here in your case since, you are performing Pre-OS components updates and using SUU.iso image, it will automatically take care.

Only if you are using repository manager then I would suggest you to use 32 bit.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Note : Pure 64 bit OS means is does not contain 32 bit libraries.

Hi,

I would suggest you to go with the one that is posted in website.

Please use the SUU.iso file posted in website.

Thanks

Hi,

Please use the SBUU with SUU.iso downloaded from web site.

FYI,

Do not use the customized iso created from repository manager since we have an issue.

Thanks

Hi,

Any luck ?

Were you able to update the firmware?

Thanks

Hi There, I did what you had said, but it did not work. They were not able to find any of the updates. I have given up at this point.
