Performing a Batch Firmware Update in Cluster View

Before you can perform a batch update, you must download the firmware file from the

Emulex website and extract it into a directory on your local drive.

Note: On the system where OneCommand Manager for VMware vCenter is installed,

make sure the port numbers configured during the installation are open and

dedicated to the OneCommand Manager for VMware vCenter server only. No

other service should be listening on this port.

To perform a batch firmware update:
1. Select a cluster in the vSphere console tree-view and select the Emulex

OneCommand tab.

2. From the Emulex Device Management options, select Batch Firmware Update.
