Applying firmware
and configuration updates to replaced parts
Before configuring
replaced parts, make sure that the following prerequisites are met:
Click the Collect System Inventory On Restart option, so that Lifecycle Controller automatically invokes Part Firmware Update and Part Configuration
Update when the system is started.
NOTE: If Collect
System Inventory On Restart is disabled, the cache of
system inventory information may become stale if new components are
added without manually entering Lifecycle Controller after turning
the system on. In manual mode, press <F10> after the part
replacement during a system restart.
Make sure that the Disabled option under Part Firmware Update and Part Configuration
Update are cleared.
The replaced card or part must belong to the same family as the
previous component.
If the current adapter on the system is NPAR enabled and is replaced
with a new adapter, after the host server is turned on, press <F2> and select System Setup > Device Settings and make sure that the NPAR is enabled. NPAR must be enabled on the new adapter
before using the Part Replacement feature.
To apply
part firmware and configuration to replaced parts:
The Part Replacement Configuration page is displayed.
From the part firmware update drop-down menu, select one
of the following:
Disabled — Firmware update on replaced
parts is not performed.
Allow version upgrade only — Firmware
update on replaced parts is performed only if the firmware version
of the new part is earlier than the existing part.
Match firmware of replaced part — Firmware
on the new part is updated to the version of the original part.
NOTE: Match firmware
of replaced part is the default setting.
From the part configuration update drop-down menu, select
one of the following:
Disabled — The feature is disabled and
the current configuration is not applied if a part is replaced.
Apply always — The feature is enabled and
the current configuration is applied if a part is replaced.
NOTE: Apply always is the default setting.
Apply only if firmware match — The feature
is enabled and the current configuration is applied only if the current
firmware matches with the firmware of a replaced part.
