partition from which they are executed. You must update the firmware for each blade
independently before rebooting either system.
With IMM firmware Version 1.15, a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server is
included in the IMM. This DHCP assigns an IP address for the internal LAN over USB
interface. Both LAN over USB interfaces in a scalable complex will get an IP address. You
must enable DHCP on these interfaces in the operating system to enable firmware updating.
9.10.3 IBM Systems Director
You can also perform an update using IBM Systems Director, which we explain in “Updating
the firmware of a complex using IBM Systems Director” on page 491. The update procedure
for a 1-node or 2-node configuration is the same.
9.11 UpdateXpress System Pack Installer
The UpdateXpress System Pack Installer (UXSPI) gives you the ability to update the firmware
and device drivers of the system under an operating system. You can deploy UpdateXpress
System Packs (UXSPs) and the latest individual updates.
UXSPI uses the standard HTTP (port 80) and HTTPS (port 443) to get the updates from IBM.
Your firewall must allow these ports. UXSPI is supported on Windows, Linux, and VMware
operating systems. UXSPI is supported on both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems.
The IBM UpdateXpress System Pack Installer User’s Guide provides a detailed list of
supported operating systems at the following website:
http://ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=SERV-XPRESS
Perform these steps to use UXSPI:
1. Start the UXSPI setup utility that you downloaded from the precious website.
2. Accept the license agreement.
3. The Welcome window opens, as shown in Figure 9-63 on page 512. Click Next.
