Update the firmware in a logical enclosure

The firmware baseline can be set during the logical enclosure creation to align all the management module firmware. This includes updating the enclosure manager (Onboard Administrator) and the iLO for the server hardware as well as the interconnects within the enclosure.

Options include updating the firmware for the enclosure controller (Onboard Administrator) only, all components in the enclosure (Onboard Administrator and logical interconnects), or all infrastructure components as well as server blades with assigned server profiles.

Other flags can be set to force the firmware installation even if the baseline provided is already installed or is a downgrade candidate, and to validate whether the update to the logical interconnect would occur in a disruptive or non-disruptive mode.

Prerequisites

  • Minimum required session ID privileges: Infrastructure administrator or Server administrator
