You can use the HUU ISO to upgrade components of the server from the host locally with a writable disk (DVD or CD), or remotely by mounting the HUU ISO as a virtual device. This following procedure explains how to upgrade the firmware using the HUU:
While downgrading from 3.0(3) to a previous version, if the single server Dual SIOC option is enabled, you must disable it before downgrading.
Step 1 | Download the HUU
ISO file:
| ||
Step 2 | If you want to prepare the ISO for a local upgrade, complete this step; Otherwise, go to Step 3. | ||
Step 3 | Prepare the ISO
for a remote upgrade using the
KVM Console.
| ||
Step 4 | Boot the server and press F6 when prompted to open the Boot Menu screen. | ||
Step 5 | In the
Boot
Menu screen, choose the prepared ISO:
The server boots from the selected device. | ||
Step 6 | After the HUU
boots, Cisco End User License Agreement (EULA) appears, read the EULA and
click:
After you accept the EULA, when the Cisco Host Upgrade Utility window appears with a list of all the components that are available for update. | ||
Step 7 | If you want to
update all the listed components, click
Update
all.
Do not choose secure boot while upgrading to 2.0(13e) from a previous release. Upgrade CMC to 2.0(13e) version first and then upgrade it to enable secure boot. | ||
Step 8 | Read the content on the confirmation box carefully and click Yes, if you want to go ahead and update the firmware and enable CMC secure boot. | ||
Step 9 | If you want
update specific components from the list, choose the components that you want
to update.
Enabling CMC Secure Boot confirmation dialog box appears.
| ||
Step 10 | Click
Update.
When you click Update or Update all to update the chassis components of CMC1 and CMC2 simultaneously, the update on the second triggering server component is skipped, and the subsequent component is updated. This initiates the update and the status of the update is displayed in the Update Status column. You can also view a more detailed log of a series of activities and statuses that are involved while updating the firmware in the Execution Logs section. | ||
Step 11 | If you want to
update the firmware of the hard disk of a server, click
Update
HDD Firmware. A window displays a list of hard disk drives on the
server that support new firmware. Hard disk drives that do not support firmware
upgrades are not listed.
Updating the firmware of the hard disk drive could result in data loss. Cisco recommends that you take a complete system backup prior to updating the firmware. | ||
Step 12 | Click
Exit to exit from the HUU.
| ||
Step 13 | Click Yes at the confirmation prompt. | ||
Step 14 | Reboot the server to apply firmware changes. | ||
Step 15 | Boot the
server back into HUU ISO, and click
Last
Update Verify.
This action compares the previously updated firmware version for each component that was updated using the HUU with the current version of the firmware on the components and provides the status of the update. | ||
Step 16 | If you want to
save the log files of the update status for later use, click
Save
Logs.
Log files that contain a detailed status of the update are saved to an external USB device that is connected to the server physically or through the KVM vMedia.
