Updating unified images
Use the Firmware Management dialog box to update firmware images. You can access the
Firmware Management dialog box using he following method.
1. Select Configure > Firmware > Management.
2. Click the Unified Firmware Images tab on the Firmware Management dialog box.

For NetIron CER/CES devices running 5.4, when deploying the simplified firmware image from 5.4
to 5.5, complete the following steps.
1. Upgrade the simplified firmware image from 5.4 to 5.5.
Note that the FPGA image fails to download.
2. Reload the product.
3. Upgrade the FPGA (pbifmetro.bin) image manually.
4. Reload the product.
Deploying unified images to products
The Management application stores previously imported unified images. These images can be
placed in a unified image payload and deployed to products using the Firmware Management
dialog box.
NOTE
Firmware images deploy to products one device at a time. If a combination of cluster nodes is
selected and the standalone VDX switches are targets, the deployment occurs for the cluster nodes
as well as for the standalone VDX switches.
Deleting unified images from the Management application
If a unified image must be deleted from the Management application, perform the following steps.
1. Click the Unified Firmware Images tab on the Firmware Management dialog box.
2. Select the unified image that you want to delete.
3. Click the Delete button.
A confirmation warning displays.
4. Click Yes to continue with the delete, or No to cancel it.
Updating firmware serially
The Management application stores previously imported firmware images. The firmware images
can be placed in boot images, software images, or unified firmware images payloads and deployed
to products using the Firmware Management dialog box. To deploy the boot images, software
images, or unified firmware images to the products, perform the following steps.
