Creating a Management Firmware Package
Before You Begin
Ensure that the appropriate firmware has been downloaded to the fabric interconnect.
Procedure
Step 1
In the Navigation pane, click the Servers tab.
Step 2
On the Servers tab, expand Servers > Policies.
Step 3
Expand the node for the organization where you want to create the policy.
If the system does not include multitenancy, expand the root node.
Step 4
Right-click Management Firmware Packages and select Create Package.
Step 5
In the Create Management Firmware Package dialog box, enter a unique name and description for the
package.
This name can be between 1 and 16 alphanumeric characters. You cannot use spaces or any special characters
other than - (hyphen), _ (underscore), : (colon), and . (period), and you cannot change this name after the
object has been saved.
Step 6
In the firmware table, do the following:
a) In the Select column, ensure that the check box for the appropriate lines are checked.
b) In the Vendor, Model, and PID columns, verify that the information matches the servers you want to
update with this package.
The model and model number (PID) must match the servers that are associated with this firmware package.
If you select the wrong model or model number, Cisco UCS Manager cannot install the firmware update.
c) In the Version column, choose the firmware version to which you want to update the firmware.
Step 7
When you have added the desired firmware to the package, click OK.
What to Do Next
Include the policy in a service profile and/or template.
Updating a Management Firmware Package
If the policy is included in one or more service profiles associated with a server and those service profiles do
not include maintenance policies, Cisco UCS Manager updates and activates the management firmware in
the server with the new versions and reboots the server as soon as you save the management firmware package
policy
