Go to SolutionMX7000 update
Hi all
we have an MX7000 with running firmware 1.20.10 and we want to update it to the last one 2.20.10
the MX7000 is not connected to internet.
we will use the Dell Update Package method (DUP)
1. should we only download the OME firmware package and start update or we need also to download other packages such as idrac , ...
2. can we move directly from 1.20.10 to 2.20.10 ?
Thanks

Hi,
Here's the OME-M's firmware update matrix, https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/poweredge-mx7000/omem_2.20.00_ug/ome-modular-firmware-update-matrix?guid=guid-170ee06f-5153-4b0f-9c4a-6f4a8a106b0c&lang=en-us, you can't update direct to 2.20 from 1.20. It needs to be updated in stages.
Here's a guide for phased update: https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/poweredge-mx7000/omem_2.20.00_ug/updating-components-in-phased-update-order-through-manual-orchestration?guid=guid-55ad5b63-d8d7-4ec5-88dd-99d2be356ce5&lang=en-us

Hi @DELL-Joey C

Hi,
just a heads up on updating OME-M. First, update OME-M step-by-step. Then, grab the separate DUPs for all the other server and IO components. Finally, use the updated OME-M with an offline repository to install those component DUPs. Also take look this article dl.dell.com/manuals/common/MX7000_Firmware_Update.pdf
Hope that helps!
