Check the compliance of firmware and drivers

On the Configuration > Firmware/Driver Compliance screen, you can check for the compliance of the firmware and drivers of baseline devices against the associated catalog, view the report, and update the firmware and drivers of non-compliant devices.

Prerequisites

  • To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise, you must have necessary role-based user privileges and scope-based operational access to the devices. See Role and scope-based access.
  • The firmware and drivers (64-bit Windows) for the non-compliant devices in the baseline are not automatically updated and must be updated by the user. It is recommended to update device firmware and drivers during the maintenance windows to prevent the devices or environment going offline during business hours.
  • To collect the inventory information, the Inventory Collector and Dell System Update must be available on the Windows server. If these components are not available on the server, then initiate an inventory job and select Collect driver inventory. The discovery job also collects driver inventory information, but only the inventory job installs the necessary components on the server. To collect the driver inventory information, create or edit an inventory job and select the Collect driver inventory check box. For more information, see Create an inventory job and Edit an inventory schedule job.

Steps

  1. Select the check box corresponding to the baseline(s), and click Check Compliance.
    The baseline compliance job is run.
    NOTE:If the devices are not associated to a catalog, the compliance is not verified. A job is created only for the devices that are associated and listed in the Compliance table. To associate a device to a catalog, see Create a baseline.

    In the Baseline table, data about the device and baseline job is displayed. For field definitions, see Firmware baseline field definitions.

  2. To view the Compliance report and to upgrade the firmware and driver version of device(s), click View Report in the right pane.

    See View the baseline compliance report.

    NOTE:Rollback is not supported for drivers.
