Updating IOM Infrastructure Device Firmware
By performing this update, the firmware for a component of the IOM device is updated, but not the firmware of the IOM
device itself; the component is the interface circuitry between the IOM device and CMC. The update image for the
component resides in the CMC file system, and the component displays as an updatable device on the CMC Web
interface only if the current revision on the component and the component image on CMC do not match.
Before updating IOM infrastructure device firmware, make sure the CMC firmware is updated.
