DR Series System Software Upgrade

When you initiate a DR Series system software upgrade, the navigation panel displays only the Support page and the
Software Upgrade options.
The administrator that initiated the software upgrade (considered the initiator administrator) will see a System
Information pane that displays an alert that reads IMPORTANT: Please do not navigate out of this
screen until the upgrade is finished, and displays the upgrade status as Upgrade in
Progress... Please wait.... The Current Version and Upgrade History versions of the DR Series system
software are listed in the Software Info pane.
All other administrators that may be logged into DR Series system (with the exception of the initiator administrator who
started the software upgrade), will only see a dialog that displays Status: The system is being
upgraded. Wait for it to become operational.
There are only three possible outcomes during a DR Series system software upgrade operation:

The upgrade operation completed successfully—no reboot is required.

The upgrade operation completed successfully—but a reboot is required (click Reboot in the Software Upgrade

page).

The upgrade operation failed.

Software Upgrade Page and Options

Use the Software Upgrade page to verify the current installed version of the DR Series system software in the Software
Information pane, or to apply updates to the system. There are two methods you can use to display the Software
Upgrade page:

Using the Support page, click Software Upgrade.

Using the navigation panel, select Support → Software Upgrade.

Both methods display the Software Upgrade page where you can verify the current installed version, check the upgrade
history of previously installed software versions, verify the iDRAC IP address (if one is in use), start the upgrade process,
or reboot the DR Series system using the options on this page.

NOTE: During the DR Series system software upgrade, the upgrade status "starting" remains displayed during
almost the entire duration of the software upgrade process. It is not until the DR Series system upgrade status
changes to "almost done" that the system upgrade process has fully completed.
