Updating the CMC Firmware Using the Web-Based Interface

1 Log in to the Web-based interface. See "Logging in to the CMC Using the

Web-Based Interface" on page 31.

2 Click Chassis in the system tree.
3 Click the Update tab. The Updatable Components page is displayed.
4 On the Updatable Components page, click the CMC name. The

Firmware Update page is displayed.

5 In the Value field, type the path on your management station or shared

network where the firmware image file resides, or click

Browse to navigate

to the file location.

NOTE:

The default CMC firmware image name is firmimg.cmc and the

filename should not be changed. Care must be taken to keep different

firmware revisions separated as the file name always remains the same.

6 Click Update. A dialog box appears asking you to confirm the action.
7 Click Yes to continue. The firmware transfer process begins and the status

displays the message Firmware Update in Progress. Once the

CMC update is complete, the CMC is reset. Once the reset is complete,

you must refresh the User Interface page to then log in again.
