Cisco UCS Manager GUI begins downloading the firmware bundle to the fabric interconnect.
Step 9
(Optional) Monitor the status of the download on the Download Tasks tab.
If Cisco UCS Manager reports that the bootflash is out of space, delete obsolete bundles on the
Packages tab to free up space. To view the available space in bootflash, navigate to the fabric
interconnect on the Equipment tab and expand the Local Storage Information area on the General
tab.
Note
Step 10
Repeat this task until all the required firmware bundles have been downloaded to the fabric interconnect.
What to Do Next
After the image file for the firmware bundles have downloaded completely, update the firmware on the
endpoints.
Downloading Firmware Images to the Fabric Interconnect from the Local File System
In a cluster setup, the image file for the firmware bundle is downloaded to both fabric interconnects,
regardless of which fabric interconnect is used to initiate the download. Cisco UCS Manager maintains
all firmware packages and images in both fabric interconnects in sync. If one fabric interconnect is down,
the download still finishes successfully. The images are synced to the other fabric interconnect when it
comes back online.
Note
Before You Begin
Obtain the required firmware bundles from Cisco.
