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 that includes the policy you want to update.
If the system does not include multitenancy, expand the root node.
Step 4
Expand Management Firmware Packages and choose the policy you want to update.
Step 5
In the Work pane, click the General tab.
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
Click Save Changes.
Cisco UCS Manager verifies the model 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 updates the firmware according to the settings in the maintenance policies included in the service
profiles.
Adding Firmware Packages to an Existing Service Profile
If the service profile does not include a maintenance policy and is associated with a server, Cisco UCS Manager
updates and activates the firmware in the server with the new versions and reboots the server as soon as you
save the changes to the service profile.
Procedure
Step 1
In the Navigation pane, click the Servers tab.
Step 2
On the Servers tab, expand Servers > Service Profiles.
Step 3
Expand the node for the organization that includes the service profile that you want to update.
If the system does not include multitenancy, expand the root node.
