Updating the BIOS, firmware and settings
ScaleIO Ready Node deployments require specific versions of drivers, BIOS, and
firmware that have been qualified by Dell EMC. If the servers do not have the correct
versions, you must update them.
A variety of factors can influence a mismatch between the required versions and the
versions installed on the servers, such as firmware updates post server shipment, or a
FRU replacement with a different firmware version than in the warehouse. For
example, if you have replaced the server system board, the FRU's BIOs and iDRAC
firmware versions will be different.
You are therefore required to verify that all server drivers, BIOS, and firmware meet
the required versions, as published in
ScaleIO Ready Node Driver and Firmware
, before deploying a server in the ScaleIO Ready Node environment.
To perform any updates needed to meet ScaleIO Ready Node requirements, use the
ScaleIO Ready Node Hardware Update Bootable ISO ("Hardware ISO"). The
Hardware ISO is based on the Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit (DTK). The DTK
provides a framework of tools necessary for the configuration of PowerEdge servers.
For ScaleIO, a custom script has been injected, along with specific qualified BIOS/
firmware update packages.
The Hardware ISO has been designed to make the firmware update process consistent
and simple. You can use it to update firmware, BIOS, and configuration settings two
different ways, depending on how many ScaleIO Ready Node servers you are
updating:
l
To update the firmware, BIOS, and configuration settings on a single server, use
the iDRAC Virtual KVM.
l
If several servers in the ScaleIO Ready Node deployment require updates, it is
recommended that you use remote RACADM. RACADM allows for the
simultaneous update of the versions on multiple ScaleIO Ready Node servers, with
minimal steps. For instructions, see
Update the hardware using remote RACADM
on page 61.
For additional information regarding the Hardware ISO, see the reference section,
DTK - Hardware Update Bootable ISO
on page 60.
