Upgrade the LOM firmware on a Citrix ADC MPX appliance
November 14, 2019
Citrix has automated the upgrade of LOM firmware within Citrix ADC MPX soware. It is no longer
necessary to know your hardware platform or download any LOM firmware.
Note: This procedure requires two reboots to complete and therefore a disruption in production traf-
fic is expected. Citrix recommends that you perform the upgrade during a maintenance window. In
a high availability setup, perform the upgrade on the secondary node to minimize disruption to pro-
duction traic.
Upgrade a standalone appliance
Perform the following steps:
1. Download and install the latest Citrix ADC soware build.
2. Reboot the appliance to install the new drivers that are needed for the LOM upgrade.
3. At the command line, type: shell.
4. At the shell prompt, type: upgrade_bmc.sh
