The following occurs when you update the
firmware package:
1
Cisco UCS Manager asks you to confirm your
change and advises that a user-acknowledged
reboot of the servers is required.
2
Click the flashing Pending Activities button to
select the servers you want to reboot and apply
the new firmware.
3
Cisco UCS Manager verifies themodel numbers
and vendor against all servers associated with
service profiles that include this policy. If the
model numbers and vendor match a firmware
version in the policy, Cisco UCS Manager
reboots the server and updates the firmware.
A manual reboot of the servers does not cause Cisco
UCS Manager to apply the firmware package, nor
does it cancel the scheduled maintenance activities.

Host or management firmware
package is included in an
updating service profile
template, and the service
profiles created from that
template are associated with

Creating a Host Firmware Package
You can include more than one type of firmware in the same host firmware package. For example, a host
firmware package can include both BIOS firmware and storage controller firmware or adapter firmware
for two different models of adapters. However, you can only have one firmware version with the same
type, vendor, and model number. The system recognizes which firmware version is required for an endpoint
and ignores all other firmware versions.
