Appendix E Upgrading to Cisco UCS S3260 System With S3260 M5 Server Nodes
Upgrading From S3260 With One M4 Server Node to S3260 With One M5 Server Node
Upgrade Procedure
Procedure Summary
1. Ensure that the entire S3260 system with M4 server node is running 3.0(3e).
2. Disconnect all power cords to remove power from the system.
3. Replace the M4 server node with an M5 server node.
4. Reconnect cables and power cords.
5. Upgrade the entire S3260 system with M5 server node to 3.1(3x).
6. Boot the system and set CMC and BMC to factory defaults.
7. Configure IP addresses and network settings.
8. Perform drive zoning for hard drives.
Upgrading an S3260 System With M4 Server Node to S3260 with M5 Server Node
Caution You must upgrade your system firmware to the required minimum level before you upgrade to M5 server
nodes. Older firmware versions cannot recognize the new CPUs and this results in a non-bootable server.
Note Make sure that Server SIOC Connectivity is set to Single Server Single SIOC in the Cisco IMC before
starting this procedure.
Step 1 Ensure that the entire Cisco S3260 system with M4 server node is running Cisco IMC 3.0(3e) firmware
before you begin the upgrade.
If the system is running an earlier version, download and run the S3260 Host Upgrade Utility (HUU) for
release 3.0(3e): HUU Guides
Step 2 Shut down and remove power from the entire system. You must disconnect all power cords to completely
remove power.
Step 3 Remove the existing M4 server node and replace it with a new M5 server node in either server bay.
If your M5 server node has an I/O expander attached to its top, install it attached to the server node.
See Replacing a Server Node, page 3-26 for instructions.
Step 4 If your system has only one SIOC, ensure that it is in the correct SIOC bay to communicate with the M5
server node that you just installed:
• If your single server node is in upper server bay 1, a SIOC must be installed in SIOC bay 1.
• If your single server node is in lower server bay 2, a SIOC must be installed in SIOC bay 2.
Step 5 If your system has rear panel SSDs, ensure that they are in the correct SSD bays to communicate with the
M5 server node that you just installed:
• If your single server node is in server bay 1, only Server 1 bays SSD1 and SSD2 can be used.
• If your single server node is in server bay 2, only Server 2 bays SSD1 and SSD2 can be used.
