•
The
Dell EMC Host Firmware Policy
must be used for Cisco UCS server firmware
upgrades and can be configured for an immediate or scheduled upgrade.
•
The server reboot is based on the maintenance policy that has been configured for
each service profile. The default is for an immediate server reboot.
•
Create and deploy a maintenance policy called
VCE_UserAck
with the
user
acknowledgment
option selected. This option requires an administrator level user
to acknowledge the reboot request for each server.
•
You cannot cancel Cisco UCS server firmware upgrades after you complete the
configuration in the Cisco UCS Install Server Firmware wizard.
•
A change in the firmware version is required every time you perform the Cisco UCS
firmware auto install.
•
The Cisco UCS server firmware auto install feature can only be executed once per
firmware version.
•
You cannot run the Cisco UCS server firmware auto install feature when new servers
are added. Update servers by creating and associating new service profiles with the
correct host firmware package.
The Cisco UCS Manager, fabric interconnects, I/O modules, chassis, chassis blades, and mezzanine
adapters are impacted by the upgrade of Cisco UCS software.
Before you begin
Reboot as needed when updating Converged System components. Coordinate firmware upgrades during
maintenance windows and refer to Cisco documentation for proper upgrade procedures.
