NOTE: Some of the firmware upgrades might cause the console to disconnect and/or
cause your session on the BMC to disconnect. You can log back into the BMC, however
some services, such as the console, may not be available due to the firmware upgrades.
After the upgrades have completed, the node will perform a cold reboot, which can take
approximately five minutes.
14. Log back in to the BMC UI and click System to verify the BIOS version and build time after booting to the
OS. If the upgrade completed correctly, you see the new BIOS and BMC versions.
The BIOS version will not show the upgraded version until the node has finished fully
booting.
15. If the node is part of a cluster, complete the steps below. If it is a standalone node, no further action is
needed.
a. Log in to the VMware vCenter web client.
b. Take the host out of maintenance mode. This might show a disconnected red flag. Wait until all
statuses are cleared.
c. Power on any of the remaining VMs that were powered off.
Upgrade firmware on H610C/H615C nodes
The steps vary depending on whether the node is standalone or part of a cluster. The procedure can take
approximately 25 minutes and includes powering the node off, uploading the ISO, flashing the devices, and
powering the node back on after the upgrade.
Steps
1. If your node is part of a cluster, place it in maintenance mode as follows. If not, skip to step 2.
a. Log in to the VMware vCenter web client.
b. Right-click the host (compute node) name and select Maintenance Mode > Enter Maintenance
Mode.
c.
Click OK.
VMs on the host will be migrated to another available host. VM migration can take time depending on
the number of VMs that need to be migrated.
Ensure that all the VMs on the host are migrated before you proceed.
2.
Navigate to the BMC UI, https://BMCIP/#login, where BMC IP is the IP address of the BMC.
3. Log in using your credentials.
4. Click Remote Control > Launch KVM (Java).
5. In the console window, click Media > Virtual Media Wizard.
6.
Click Browse and select the compute firmware .iso file.
