Older Migration and Upgrade Procedures
Upgrading From S3260 With Two M3 Server Nodes to S3260 With Two
M4 Server Nodes
This procedure upgrades a Cisco UCS S3260 system that is using two C3X60 M3 server nodes to a Cisco
UCS S3260 system that uses two C3X60 M4 server nodes.
Items Required For This Upgrade
Hardware
• A Cisco UCS S3260 system with two M3 server nodes. All chassis and server node components
must be running Cisco IMC 2.0(7) or 2.0(9) firmware before you begin the upgrade.
Note Migration to S3260 with M4 server nodes is supported only with chassis part-number versions
68-5286-06 and later. The motherboard in these chassis versions supports all M4 system
components.
• New M4 server nodes running Cisco IMC 2.0(13) or later firmware (the factory default).
Software
• Up to five IP addresses, either configured in your DHCP server or manually entered for static IP
addresses. See System IP Addresses, page 2-14 for more information.
• The latest Host Upgrade Utility package for Cisco IMC 2.0(7) or 2.0(9) firmware. This is used to
update the entire Cisco S3260 system with M3 nodes to the prerequisite firmware.
• The Host Upgrade Utility package for Cisco IMC 2.0(13) or later firmware. This is used to upgrade
the system to M4 server node requirements.
For instructions on downloading and using the utility, see the instructions in the guide for your
release: HUU Guides
Upgrade Considerations
Note the following considerations:
• After the upgrade, you must manually define drive zoning to map the hard drives to individual server
nodes.
• After the upgrade, your boot SSDs might lose their operating system. In this case, reinstall your
operating system to the boot SSDs.
Upgrade Procedure
Procedure Summary
1. Ensure that the entire S3260 system with M3 server nodes is running 2.0(7) or 2.0(9).
2. Upgrade the entire S3260 system with M3 server nodes to 2.0(13).
3. Disconnect all power cords to remove power from the system.
