Configuring the HP BladeSystem c7000 enclosure and enclosure devices 231

scheduled update is performed. The log might indicate that the server was powered on, so the Enclosure

Firmware Management operation was stopped.
If a failure occurs while performing an Enclosure Firmware Management task, the failed entry is logged as
Firmware Management failed on blade X. The Onboard Administrator attempts the task again up

to three times. If the task completes, the previous failed log entries can be disregarded. For detailed event

information and current activity, see the firmware log for the server.

Viewing firmware versions

After an Enclosure Firmware Management task has successfully completed, review the firmware versions for
all devices that were selected for updating. Successful completion of an Enclosure Firmware Management

task might not indicate that firmware was updated to the versions on the ISO image. For more information,

see "Firmware version variations (on page

232

)."

Server firmware
Select Device Bays in the left tree view. Select the appropriate bay to view, and then select Firmware.
The extended server firmware information appears on the Onboard Administrator GUI and CLI for each

server. A firmware management log for each server blade displays the log of steps during the last firmware

update or discovery event, and the firmware summary shows the date and time that the last discover or
update occurred. If the server blade is removed from the enclosure, then this log is cleared. These logs are

synchronized to the standby Onboard Administrator, if present, and the logs are stored in flash so the

information is available after an Onboard Administrator reboot.

Rack firmware
Select Rack Firmware at the top of the left tree view pane.
