Upgrade the LOM firmware on a Citrix ADC MPX appliance
October 18, 2022
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 traic
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
production traic. The upgrade_bmc.sh script is supported on the following platforms:
• MPX 5900
• MPX 8005
• MPX 8900
• MPX 11500
• MPX 11515
• MPX 14000
• MPX 15000
• MPX 22000
• MPX 25000
