7. Repeat steps 3 on page 259 to 6 on page 259 for each VxFlex Ready Node
server that requires BIOS or firmware updates and configuration. All VxFlex
Ready Node servers can be updated in parallel.
8. When the updates are completed, refresh the iDRAC browser screen, log in to
the iDRAC, and re-launch the virtual console as needed.
9. Wait for the configuration and firmware updates to complete. The server
console screen will indicate when the script is complete.
WARNING Do not reboot the VxFlex Ready Node server while the update
process is being performed!
The iDRAC will be reset several times during the update process. This causes
the iDRAC virtual console viewer to close, virtual media to disconnect, and the
iDRAC browser window to be unavailable for several minutes during each reset.
The hardware update scripts will continue to run from RAM on the server.
The update script will generate a log indicating whether each configuration and
firmware flash is successful.

competition:
a. After the update script completes, press Alt+F2 to access a user console,
and then Enter to log in.
b. Check the log contents for errors:
less /bundleapplicationlogs/apply_components.log
For more information, see Troubleshooting the Hardware ISO on page 343 .
c. Press q to exit the log viewer, and then Alt+F1 to access the original console
screen.
11. Reboot the VxFlex Ready Node server and allow the update and configuration
jobs to complete. Power-cycle the server using the appropriate Power menu
option.

iDRAC job queue using the iDRAC GUI:
a. From your Internet browser, go to https://
<iDRAC_IP_address> .
b. In the DELL Console Login window, type these credentials:
l
