• Network Path Editing catalogs You can only modify the catalog name, network share address, and catalog filepath. To edit catalogs: 1 On the Catalog Management page, select the catalog that you want to edit and click Edit. The Edit Firmware Catalog window is displayed. 2 Make the required changes. Deleting catalogs You can only delete catalogs that are not associated with a baseline. If you attempt deleting a catalog that is associated with a baseline, an error message is displayed. To delete a catalog: On the Catalog Management page, select the catalog that you want to delete and click Delete. Updating firmware Before updating the firmware on a chassis, compute, or storage sleds, ensure that all IOMs and network fabrics are healthy. NOTE: The Update Firmware button may be disabled temporarily during inventory refresh when a Refresh Inventory job or Default Inventory job is run. To update firmware: 1 On the Compliance Report page, select the device or component for which you want to update the firmware. The Update Firmware window is displayed. 2 Select the Update Now option to update the firmware immediately or Schedule Later to update the firmware on the chosen date and time. NOTE: If the system displays the local clock on the Time Configuration page even after you configured the NTP servers, reconfigure the NTP servers. NOTE: During firmware update, when the active MM reboots and the standby MM is active, some messages on the Execution Details page for the firmware update are not displayed. The messages are not displayed owing to synchronization issues. NOTE: During the OME-Modular firmware update, multiple users can upload the OME-Modular DUP using any interface. However, a warning message may be displayed after the firmware update job is initiated. NOTE: For non-default VLAN, the management IPv6 IP of MX9116n or MX5108n IOMs is unreachable if, the DHCP V6 configuration in ToR switch does not have the IPV6 default gateway. Rolling back firmware If you are not convinced with the firmware update of a device or component, you can roll back the update to the version before the update. The rollback option is enabled only if OME-Modular can access the firmware package of the previous version. The following methods can be used to enable the access: • A Device that has the rollback version (or N-1 version) that matches the previous version. Not all devices support a rollback or N-1 version. The rollback version is displayed as a rollback candidate even if it does not match the version before the update. • An imported catalog that has a reference to the previous catalog version.

Updating

ﬁrmware

Before updating the

ﬁrmware

on a chassis, compute, or storage sleds, ensure that all IOMs and network fabrics are healthy.

NOTE:

The Update Firmware button may be disabled temporarily during inventory refresh when a Refresh Inventory job or

Default Inventory job is run.

To update

ﬁrmware:

On the

Compliance Report

page, select the device or component for which you want to update the

ﬁrmware.

The

Update Firmware

window is displayed.

Select the

Update Now

option to update the

ﬁrmware

immediately or

Schedule Later

to update the

ﬁrmware

on the chosen date and

time.

NOTE:

If the system displays the local clock on the Time

Conﬁguration

page even after you

conﬁgured

the NTP

servers,

reconﬁgure

the NTP servers.

NOTE:

During

ﬁrmware

update, when the active MM reboots and the standby MM is active, some messages on the

Execution Details page for the

ﬁrmware

update are not displayed. The messages are not displayed owing to

synchronization issues.

NOTE:

During the OME–Modular

ﬁrmware

update, multiple users can upload the OME–Modular DUP using any

interface. However, a warning message may be displayed after the

ﬁrmware

update job is initiated.

NOTE:

For non-default VLAN, the management IPv6 IP of MX9116n or MX5108n IOMs is unreachable if, the DHCP V6

conﬁguration

in ToR switch does not have the IPV6 default gateway.

Rolling back

ﬁrmware

If you are not convinced with the

ﬁrmware

update of a device or component, you can roll back the update to the version before the update.

The rollback option is enabled only if OME–Modular can access the

ﬁrmware

package of the previous version. The following methods can

be used to enable the access:

•

A Device that has the rollback version (or N-1 version) that matches the previous version. Not all devices support a rollback or N-1

version. The rollback version is displayed as a rollback candidate even if it does not match the version before the update.

•

An imported catalog that has a reference to the previous catalog version.
