Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise Version 3.0 User's Guide

Update the device firmware version by using the baseline compliance report

NOTE: To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise, you must have necessary user privileges. See Role-based OpenManage Enterprise user privileges.

NOTE: When a device is connected, the firmware version, if earlier than baseline version, is not automatically updated. You must update the firmware version. It is recommended to update device firmware during maintenance windows to prevent the devices or environment going offline during business hours.

After you run a firmware compliance report, if the firmware version on the device is earlier than the version on the catalog, the Compliance Report page indicates the device firmware status as Upgrade Image indicates that the device firmware is earlier than the firmware baseline, and must be upgraded.. To update a device firmware by using the baseline compliance report:

  1. Select the check box corresponding to the baseline to which the device is attached, and then click View Report in the right pane.

    On the Compliance Report page the list of devices associated with the baseline and their compliance level is displayed. For field descriptions, see Viewing device firmware compliance report.

  2. Select the check box corresponding to the device whose firmware must be updated. You can select more than one device with similar properties.
  3. Click Update Firmware.
  4. In the Update Firmware dialog box, select:
    • Update Now: The firmware version is updated and matched to the version available on the associated catalog. To make the update effective during the next device restart, select the Stage for next server reboot check box.
    • Schedule Later: Select to specify a date and time when the firmware version must be updated. This mode is recommended if you do not want to disturb your current tasks.
  5. Click Update.

    NOTE: To update a device, you must associate the device and catalog to each other.
