Updating firmware

You can update to the latest version of Lifecycle Controller using the Firmware Update wizard. It is recommended that you run the Firmware Update wizard regularly to access the latest updates. You can update the component firmware by either using update repositories or individual DUPs (single component DUP).
  • NOTE: The firmware for iDRAC and Lifecycle Controller is combined in a single package.
  • NOTE: Make sure that the file name for the single component DUPs does not have any blank space.
  • NOTE: If Collect System Inventory On Restart (CSIOR) is disabled while performing an update, Lifecycle Controller automatically updates the system inventory.
  • NOTE: Both 32–bit and 64–bit DUPs and catalog are supported. If both the 32-bit and 64-bit DUPs are available in a catalog, the 64-bit DUP is preferred for the firmware update. 32-bit DUP is used for firmware update only when 64-bit DUP is not available in a catalog.

On PowerEdge FX2 servers, you can update the Chassis Management Controller (CMC) firmware using Lifecycle Controller. You can update CMC only if the Server Mode is set to Monitor and Configure in CMC and Communication Permissions is set to CMC firmware update in iDRAC.

To enable these settings,

  1. On the CMC GUI, click Setup > Server Mode > Monitor and Configure
  2. On the iDRAC GUI, click iDRAC Settings > Communication Permission > CMC firmware update

To update the firmware:

  1. Start Lifecycle Controller. For more information, see Starting Lifecycle Controller.
  2. In the left pane, click Firmware Update .
  3. In the right pane, click Launch Firmware Update .
  4. Select any one of these update repositories: FTP Server, Local Drive (CD, DVD, or USB), or Network Share (CIFS, NFS, or HTTP), and click Next. The Enter Access Details page is displayed.
    • NOTE: If you select FTP Server, you can verify the connection by clicking Test Network Connection. If the domain name is provided, then the server IP address and the domain name is displayed. If proxy IP is provided, then the proxy IP along with the server IP is displayed.
    • NOTE: If you select Network Share (CIFS, NFS, or HTTP), you can verify the connection by clicking Test Network Connection. By default, Lifecycle Controller pings the host and proxy IP.
  5. Type or select the appropriate data.
  6. Click Next. The Select Updates page is displayed with the catalog file, catalog version, and component names for which the updates are available.
  7. Select the components that require an update, and then click Apply. The update process is initiated and the firmware update is completed. After restart, the system is ready to use.
    • NOTE: The system does not restart if operating system driver packs, OS collector tool, or hardware diagnostics are updated.
    • NOTE: When applying more than one update, the system may restart between updates. In this case, Lifecycle Controller restarts the server and automatically continues the update process.
    • NOTE: iDRAC resets while updating iDRAC. If the iDRAC firmware update is interrupted for any reason, wait for up to 30 minutes before you attempt another firmware update.
    • NOTE: After the CPLD firmware is updated on the modular servers, on the View Current Versions page, under Firmware Update , the firmware update date is displayed as 2000-01-01, regardless of the actual update date. The updated date and time are displayed based on the time zone that is configured on the server.
    • NOTE: On a Dell PowerEdge server, if you use Lifecycle Controller to update the Intel Network Card firmware from version 15.0 .xx to 16.5 .xx or vice versa, reboot the server to view the updated firmware.
    • NOTE: If you update the Intel Network Card firmware from version 14.5 .x to 16.5 .xx or vice versa on a Dell PowerEdge server by using Lifecycle Controller, the Firmware Rollback page may display the firmware version as 15.0 .xx instead of 14.5 .x . However, the Firmware Rollback page displays the version 14.5.x if you update the firmware by using the Intel Network firmware DUPs on the OS.
