Contact Dell support for assistance with upgrading the MX7000 components as it is a complex procedure. It is recommended that you update all components within the scheduled single maintenance window. Before proceeding with the update, review and resolve any recurring port alerts that are reported on the OME-Modular Alerts page. NOTE: The message ID for an operational port is NINT0001 and that for a not operational port, NINT0002. Update the components in the following order: 1. iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller using OME-Modular 2. PowerEdge MX740c BIOS and PowerEdge MX840c Server BIOS 3. Update the device adapter operating system drivers followed by the device adapter firmware. Adapters-QLogic 27XX series Fibre Channel, QLogic 26XX series Fibre Channel, QLogic 41xxx series, Mellanox ConnectX-4 Lx Ethernet Adapter Firmware, Intel X710, XXV710, and XL710, Emulex Fibre Channel NOTE: Compute sled updates have no dependencies and can be updated directly to their corresponding OME-Modular 1.20.00 baseline versions identified in Table 2, in updating MX7000 components using OME-Modular 1.20.00. 4. OME-Modular 5. Fabric Switching Engine MX9116n and/or Ethernet Switch MX5108n To update MXG610s IOM, see the section, software upgrade or downgrade, in Chapter 6 of the MXG610s Fibre Channel Switch Module Installation Guide. The guide is available at https://downloads.dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_ser_stor_net/ esuprt_networking/networking-mxg610s_install-guide_en-us.pdf. NOTE: If you have MX5016s storage sled or MX5000s SAS IOM installed, update them in the compute sled or IOM component order respectively. NOTE: To update Intel Device Adapter and BOSS firmware, first upgrade OME-Modular to 1.10.10 or use the iDRAC web interface. Updating iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller 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 > Compute. A list of the available compute devices in the chassis or chassis group is displayed. 3. In the list header, select the checkbox to select all compute devices on the current page. If there are multiple pages, then go to each page and select the checkbox. 4. After selecting all the compute devices, click Update Firmware. 5. In the pop-up wizard, select the individual package and click Browse to select the iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller DUP. 6. Once the DUP is uploaded, click Next and select the Compliance checkbox. 7. Click Finish to start the update on all compute devices. 8. Allow the job to complete before proceeding to update the components, Dell EMC Server BIOS PowerEdge MX740c and Dell EMC Server BIOS PowerEdge MX840c. NOTE: As an alternative method of updating compute hosts and/or storage sleds, you can implement catalog based updates once the catalogs are updated with the baseline versions. For more information, see Managing catalogs. Updating PowerEdge MX740c BIOS and PowerEdge MX840c Server BIOS Repeat the steps described in the section, Updating iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller using OME-Modular, to update Dell EMC Server BIOS PowerEdge MX740c and Dell EMC Server BIOS PowerEdge MX840c, as applicable. Updating adapters Download and install the operating system drivers for your device adapter that released with the device adapter firmware. Follow the device adapter driver installation instructions for your operating system. Repeat the steps described in the section, Updating iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller using OME-Modular, to update QLogic 26XX series Fibre Channel adapters, QLogic 27XX series Fibre Channel adapters, QLogic 41xxx series adapters, Mellanox ConnectX-4 Lx Ethernet Adapter Firmware, Intel NIC Family Version 19.5.x Firmware for X710, XXV710 and XL710 adapters, 14 Updating the management module firmware
