Updating management module firmware NOTE: Ensure that you upgrade the OME-Modular firmware before upgrading OS10. You can update the management module firmware using the following methods: 1. Individual package method-Through OME-Modular web interface or RESTful API 2. Catalog-based compliance method To update the firmware using the Individual package method: 1. Download the DUP from the www.dell.com/support/drivers. 2. On the OME-Modular web interface, go to Devices > Chassis and select the chassis for which you want to update the firmware. 3. Click Update Firmware. The Select Firmware Source window is displayed. 4. Select the Individual package option and click Browse to go to the location where you have downloaded the DUP and click Next. Wait for the comparison report. The supported components are displayed. 5. Select the required components, for example: OME-Modular, and click Update to start the firmware update. You can schedule the update process to start at the time you want. 6. Go to the Monitor > Jobs page to view the job status. NOTE: The console is inaccessible during the OME-Modular update process. After the OME-Modular update process, wait for the console to reach a steady state. Recovering failed Management Module firmware update process If the firmware update of a management module (MM) fails, perform the following steps: 1. Perform a failover on the MM. If the failover fails, go to step 2. 2. Reset the active MM manually. 3. After the failover or reset is complete, check the firmware version to verify if the active MM is running the same or a later version of OME-Modular, as the standby MM. If not, perform a reset on the MM to force failover. 4. Retry the firmware update. Updating IOMs using OME-Modular 1. If OME-Modular is managing a chassis group, then log in to OME-Modular interface of the Lead chassis. 2. Click Devices > I/O Modules. A list of the available IOMs in the chassis or chassis group is displayed. 3. In the list header, select the checkbox to select all IOMs on the current page. If there are multiple pages, then go to each page and select the checkbox. 4. After selecting all the I/O Modules, click Update Firmware. 5. In the pop-up wizard, select the Individual Package and click Browse to select the I/O Module DUP. 6. Once the DUP is uploaded, click Next and select the Compliance checkbox. 7. Click Finish to start the update on all I/O Modules. OS10 firmware update matrix Table 4.
