                  Updating Firmware on Server Components

                  Important:

                  If any firmware or BIOS updates are in progress, do not reset the server until those tasks are complete.

                  Before You Begin

                  You must log in with user or admin privileges to perform this task.

                  Server must be powered off.

                  Procedure
                     Command or ActionPurpose
                    Step 1Server# scope chassis  

                    Enters chassis command mode.

                     
                    Step 2Server /chassis # scope firmware

                    Step 4Server /chassis/firmware # update-all  

                    Updates the firmware on the server components.

                     

                    This example resets the server: 

                    Server# scope chassis
Server /chassis # scope firmware
Server /chassis / firmware # show detail

Firmware update required on some components, 
please run update-all (under chassis/firmware scope).

Server /chassis / firmware # update-all

                    Time Zone

                    Selecting a Time Zone

                    Selecting a time zone helps you choose a local time zone so that you can view the local time rather than the default machine time. Cisco IMC Web UI and the CLI provide you options to choose and set a time zone of your choice.

                    Setting the time zone to your local time will apply the time zone variable to all the services that utilize the system timing. This impacts the logging information and is utilized in the following applications of the Cisco IMC:

                    • Fault summary and fault history logs

                    • Cisco IMC log

                    • rsyslog

                    When you set a local time, the timestamp on the applications that you can view are updated with the local time that you have chosen.

                    Setting a Time Zone

                    Before You Begin

                    You must log in with user or admin privileges to perform this task.

                    Procedure
                       Command or ActionPurpose
                      Step 1Server # scope time  

                      Enters time command mode.

                       
                      Step 2Server /time # timezone-select  

                      Displays a list of continents and oceans.

                       
                      Step 3Enter the number corresponding to your continent or ocean.   A list of all the countries or regions of the chosen continent or ocean displays.  
                      Step 4Enter the number corresponding to the country or region that you want to set as your time zone.   If a country or a region has more than one time zones, a list of time zones in that country or region displays.  
                      Step 5Enter the number corresponding to time zone.   Is the above information OK? message appears.  
                      Step 6Enter 1.   Continue?[y|N]: prompt appears.  
                      Step 7Enter y if you want to set the chosen time zone.   The chosen time zone is set as the time zone for your Cisco IMC server.  

                      This example sets the time zone: 

                      Server# scope time
Server /time # timezone-select

                      Managing Dynamic Storage

                      Dynamic Storage Support

                      Effective with this release, The Cisco UCS C-Series rack-mount servers support dynamic storage of Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) drives in the Cisco Management Controller (CMC). This dynamic storage support is provided by the SAS fabric manager located in the CMC.

                      The fabric manager interacts with the PMC SAS expanders over an Out-of-Band ethernet connection. SAS Expanders allow you to maximize the storage capability of an SAS controller card. Using these expanders, you can employ SAS controllers support up to 60 hard drives. In CMC, an active SIOC configures the expander zoning, where you can assign the drives to the server nodes through the Web UI, command line interface or Cisco UCS Manager. The standby CMC is updated with the current state, so during a CMC fail-over standby, the CMC can take over the zoning responsibilities. Once the drives are visible to a particular server node, you can manage these using RAID controller.


                      Note
                      The SAS controller support 56 hard disk drives (HDD) by default. There is also a provision to to replace Server node 2 with an additional four HDDs on Server 2. In that case the total number of HDDs shown in the Zoning page is 60. However, CMC would not support zoning for the additional HDDs 57, 58, 59, 60.

                      The SAS fabric manager provides an API library for other processes to configure and monitor the expanders and drives. Configuration of the fabric involves zoning the drives, updating the firmware for expanders and drives.

                      Dynamic Storage supports the following options:

                      • Assigning physical disks to server 1 and server 2

                      • Chassis Wide Hot Spare (supported only on RAID controllers)

                      • Shared mode (supported only in HBAs)

                      • Unassigning physical disks

                                Assigns the physical drive as a global hotspare at the chassis level.

                                 

                                Example for assigning a physical drive as a global hotspare at the chassis level: 

                                Server# scope chassis
Server /chassis # scope dynamic-storage

                                  Step 3Server /chassis/dynamic-storage # assign-drive shared <drive-slotid-list>  

                                  Assigns the chosen physical drive for both the servers.

                                   

                                  Example for assigning the same physical drive for both the servers:

                                  Updating and Activating SAS Expander Firmware

                                  Procedure
                                     Command or ActionPurpose
                                    Step 1Server # scope chassis  

                                    Enters chassis command mode.

                                    Enters SAS expander mode.

                                     
                                    Step 3Server /chassis/sas-expander # update protocol IP Address path  
                                    Initiates the firmware update by specifying the protocol, IP address of the remote server, and the file path to the firmware file on the server. The protocol can be one of the following:

                                    • TFTP

                                    • FTP

                                    • SFTP

                                    • SCP

                                    • HTTP

                                    Note   

                                    The Cisco UCS C-Series server now supports fingerprint confirmation of the server when you update firmware through a remote server. This option is available only if you choose SCP or SFTP as the remote server type.

                                    If you chose SCP or SFTP as the remote server type while performing this action, a prompt with the message Server (RSA) key fingerprint is <server_finger_print _ID> Do you wish to continue? Click y or n depending on the authenticity of the server fingerprint.

                                    The fingerprint is based on the host's public key and helps you to identify or verify the host you are connecting to.

                                     
                                    Step 4Server /chassis/sas-expander # show detail   (Optional)

                                    Displays the status of the firmware upgrade.

                                     

                                    This example shows how to update and activate the SAS expander firmware: 

                                    Server# scope chassis
Server /chassis # scope sas-expander 1
Updating the firmware
