Configuring the LAN over USB interface manually
To perform a firmware update through the operating system using Lenovo XClarity Essentials OneCLI, the
Lenovo XClarity Controller must be configured to use the LAN over USB interface. The firmware update
package attempts to perform the setup automatically, if needed. If the automatic setup fails or if you prefer to
set up the LAN over USB manually, use one of the following procedures.
