Dell Chassis Management Controller Version 6.0 for PowerEdge M1000e User’s Guide

Updating IOM Software Using CMC Web Interface

1. Go to Chassis Overview > I/O Module Overview > Update.
   The IOM Firmware Update page is displayed.

   Alternatively, go to any of the following:

   • Chassis Overview > Update
   • Chassis Overview > Chassis Controller > Update
   • Chassis Overview > iKVM > Update

   The Firmware Update page is displayed, which provides a link to access the IOM Firmware Update page.

2. In the IOM Firmware Update page, in the IOM Firmware section, select the check box in the Update column for the IOM you want to update the software and click Apply Firmware Update.
   Alternatively, to rollback to the earlier versions of the software, select the check box in the Rollback column.
3. Select the software image for the software update, using the Browse option. The name of Software image gets displayed in the IOM Software Location field.
   The Update Status section provides software update or rollback status information. A status indicator displays on the page while the image file uploads. File transfer time varies based on connection speed. When the internal update process begins, the page automatically refreshes and the Firmware update timer is displayed.

   NOTE Do not click the Refresh icon or navigate to another page during the file transfer.

   NOTE The file transfer timer is not displayed when updating IOMINF firmware.

   When the update or rollback is complete, there is a brief loss of connectivity to the IOM device since it resets and the new firmware is displayed on the IOM Firmware and Software page.

   NOTE The FTOS or IOM software version is displayed in the format X-Y(A-B). For example, 8-3(1-4). If the Rollback Version of the FTOS image is an old image which uses the old version string format 8-3-1-4, then the Current Version is displayed as 8-3(1-4).
