Firmware update
To update the current firmware installed in your server, from the BMC menu bar, click Maintenance >
Firmware Update.
This wizard takes you through the process of updating the firmware. A reset of the box will automatically
follow if the upgrade is completed or cancelled. An option to Preserve All Configuration is available.
Enable it, if you wish to preserve configured settings through the upgrade.
WARNING: After entering update mode widgets, other web pages and services will not work.
All open widgets will be closed automatically. If upgrade process is cancelled in the middle of
the wizard, the device will be reset.
NOTE: The firmware upgrade process is a crucial operation. Make sure that the chances of a power or
connectivity loss are minimal when performing this operation.
Once you enter into Update Mode and choose to cancel the firmware flash operation, the BMC must be
reset. This means that you must close the Internet browser and log back onto the BMC before you can
perform any other types of operations.
Once Firmware upgrade using web is started, the regular IPMI command will not be allowed for safety
concern if Enable IPMI Command handling during flashing support is disabled in project configuration.
