Update the device firmware and drivers by using baselines

1. From the All Devices page Devices list, select the device(s) and click More Actions > Update.
   NOTE When you select device(s), ensure that they are associated with one or more firmware baselines. Else, the devices are not displayed in the compliance report, and therefore cannot be updated.
2. In the Device Update dialog box:
   1. In the Select Update Source section select one of the following:
      • From the Baseline drop-down menu, select the baseline. A list of devices that are associated with the selected baseline is displayed. The compliance level of each device is displayed in the 'compliance' column. Based on the compliance level, you can update the firmware and/or driver version. For information about the field description on this page, see Viewing device firmware compliance report.
        1. Select the check boxes corresponding to the devices that must be updated.
        2. Click Next.
      • You can update the firmware and/or drivers by using Individual Update package also. Click Individual Package, and then complete the on-screen instructions. Click Next.
   2. In the Schedule section:
   • Under Schedule Update, click Additional Information to view the important information and select one of the following:
     1. Update Now: To apply the firmware/driver updates immediately.
     2. Schedule Later: To specify a date and a time when the firmware and/or driver version must be updated. This mode is recommended if you do not want to disturb your current tasks.
   • Under Server Options select one of the following reboot options :
     1. To reboot the server immediately after the firmware/driver update, choose Reboot server immediately and from the dropdown menu select one of the following options:
        1. Graceful Reboot without Forced Shutdown
        2. Graceful Reboot with Forced Shutdown
        3. PowerCycle for a hard reset of the device.
     2. Select Stage for next server reboot to trigger the firmware/driver update when the next server reboot happens. If this option is selected, then the inventory and baseline check must be executed manually after the package is installed in the remote device.
