Updating iFIST
Procedure
1.
Download the most recent iFIST image file from the H3C website to a storage media.
The storage media can be a physical drive or a virtual CD.
2.
Mount the storage media to the server.
Make sure the server has only one bootable media mounted. If the server has multiple bootable
media mounted, the server might fail to locate the correct boot media and upgrade of iFIST will
fail as a result.
3.
Select an upgrade option and start the upgrade process.
4.
Reboot the server after the upgrade is complete.
5.
Verify that iFIST is successfully upgraded.
