Firmware Management

This chapter includes the following sections:

Firmware Download from Cisco

You can configure firmware downloads in Cisco UCS Central to communicate with Cisco website at specified intervals and fetch the firmware image list. After configuring Cisco credentials for image download, when you refresh, Cisco UCS Central fetches the available image data from Cisco.com and displays the firmware image in the firmware image library. You can download the actual firmware images when creating a policy using the firmware image version or when downloading the image using the Store Locally option.

Important:

Make sure you do the following to download firmware from Cisco into Cisco UCS Central.

  • You must enable Cisco UCS Central to access Cisco.com either directly or using a proxy server.

  • You must configure valid Cisco user credentials and enable download state in Cisco UCS Central.

Firmware Library of Images

Image Library in Cisco UCS Central displays a list of all firmware images downloaded into Cisco UCS Central from Cisco.com, local file system and remote file system.

The source for images downloaded from Cisco.com is Cisco and for images downloaded from local or remote file system is local. These firmware images are available for creating firmware policies.

The following are the options to delete firmware images from the library:

  • Deleting the firmware image — You can delete any downloaded image in the firmware library using the delete option.

  • Purging the firmware image metadata — You can delete the image metadata using the purge option. Even after you delete the firmware image from the library, the metadata will still exist. You can use the metadata information to download the actual firmware image anytime from Cisco.com even after deleting the image. If you want to completely remove the firmware image and associated metadata from the firmware image library, make sure to delete the actual firmware image and purge the metadata from the library.

    Important:

    If you have already downloaded the image corresponding to the metadata into the firmware image library, you cannot purge the metadata without deleting the image.

              Firmware Upgrades for Cisco UCS Domains

              You can deploy infrastructure and server firmware upgrades for registered Cisco UCS domains from Cisco UCS Central.

              If desired, you can upgrade the Cisco UCS domains in each domain group with different versions of firmware. Cisco UCS Central also provides you the option to acknowledge the fabric interconnect reboot globally from Cisco UCS Central or individually from each Cisco UCS domain.

              Scheduling Infrastructure Firmware Updates for Cisco UCS Domains

              You can schedule an infrastructure firmware upgrade or downgrade for either a classic or mini Cisco UCS Domain from Infrastructure Firmware panel. For more information on managing firmware in Cisco UCS domains, see Cisco UCS Manager Firmware Management Guides

              When you create the infrastructure firmware policy in Cisco UCS Central CLI, the system automatically creates a schedule for the policy. You can edit the automatic scheduled for fw-infra and fi-reboot to change the date and time.

                        Scheduling Firmware Upgrades

                        Firmware Upgrade Schedules

                        To upgrade firmware by domain groups in registered Cisco UCS domains, you can schedule upgrades from Cisco UCS Central in the following ways:

                        • As a one time occurrence

                        • As a recurring occurrence that recurs at designated intervals

                        If you configure the schedules for user acknowledgment, the fabric interconnect will not reboot without explicit acknowledgment.

                        Creating a One Time Occurrence Schedule

                        Procedure
                           Command or ActionPurpose
                          Step 1UCSC# connect policy-mgr  

                          Enters policy manager mode.

                           
                          Step 2UCSC(policy-mgr) # scope domain-group domain-group  

                          Enters domain group root mode and (optionally) enters a domain group under the domain group root. To enter the domain group root mode, type / as the domain-group.

                           
                          Step 3UCSC(policy-mgr) /domain-group # create schedule onetime 

                          Creates a one time occurrence schedule.

                           
                          Step 4UCSC(policy-mgr) /domain-group/schedule* # set admin-state user-ack 

                          Specifies user acknowledgment for the specified one time update task.

                           
                          Step 5UCSC(policy-mgr) /domain-group/schedule # create occurrence one-time name 

                          Specifies the time for one time occurrence.

                           
                          Step 6UCSC(policy-mgr) /domain-group/schedule/one-time* # set 

                          1. concur-tasksMaximum number of concurrent tasks

                          2. dateStart Date

                          3. max-durationMax Duration (dd:hh:mm:ss)

                          4. min-intervalMinimum Interval Between Tasks Execution

                          5. proc-capMaximum Number of Tasks to Execute

                          Sets other related details for one time occurrence.

                           
                          Step 7UCSC(policy-mgr) /domain-group/schedule/one-time* # commit-buffer 

                          Commits the transaction to the system.

                           

                          The following example shows how to schedule a one time occurrence firmware update in Cisco UCS Central CLI: 

                          UCSC# connect policy-mgr
UCSC(policy-mgr)# scope domain-group
UCSC(policy-mgr) /domain-group # create schedule onetime
UCSC(policy-mgr) /domain-group/schedule* # set admin-state user-ack
UCSC(policy-mgr) /domain-group/schedule* # commit-buffer
UCSC(policy-mgr) /domain-group/schedule # create occurrence one-time Nov172012 
UCSC(policy-mgr) /domain-group/schedule/one-time* # set  
concur-tasks  Maximum Number of Concurrent Tasks  
date          Start Date  
max-duration  Max Duration (dd:hh:mm:ss)  
min-interval  Minimum Interval Between Tasks Execution  
proc-cap      Maximum Number of Tasks to Execute 
UCSC(policy-mgr) /domain-group/schedule/one-time* # set date nov 17 2012 16 00 00
UCSC(policy-mgr) /domain-group/schedule/one-time* # commit-buffer
UCSC(policy-mgr) /domain-group/schedule/one-time* #

                          Viewing One Time Occurrence Schedule

                          Procedure
                             Command or ActionPurpose
                            Step 1UCSC# connect policy-mgr  

                            Enters policy manager mode.

                             
                            Step 2UCSC(policy-mgr) # scope domain-group domain-group  

                            Enters domain group root mode and (optionally) enters a domain group under the domain group root. To enter the domain group root mode, type / as the domain-group.

                             
                            Step 3UCSC(policy-mgr) /domain-group/schedule* # scope schedule one-time 

                            Enters the schedule mode.

                             
                            Step 4UCSC(policy-mgr) /domain-group/schedule/one-time # show detail 

                            Displays the one-time schedule.

                             

                            The following example shows how to display the scheduled one time occurrence in Cisco UCS Central CLI:

                            Capability Catalog

                            The Capability Catalog is a set of tunable parameters, strings, and rules. Cisco UCS uses the catalog to update the display and configurability of components such as newly qualified DIMMs and disk drives for servers.

                            The catalog is divided by hardware components, such as the chassis, CPU, local disk, and I/O module. You can use the catalog to view the list of providers available for that component. There is one provider per hardware component. Each provider is identified by the vendor, model (PID), and revision. For each provider, you can also view details of the equipment manufacturer and the form factor.

                            For information about which hardware components are dependent upon a particular catalog release, see the component support tables in the Service Notes for the B- Series servers. For information about which components are introduced in a specific release, see the Cisco UCS Release Notes.

                            Contents of the Capability Catalog

                            The contents of the Capability Catalog include the following:

                            Implementation-Specific Tunable Parameters

                            • Power and thermal constraints

                            • Slot ranges and numbering

                            • Adapter capacities

                            Hardware-Specific Rules

                            • Firmware compatibility for components such as the BIOS, CIMC, RAID controller, and adapters

                            • Diagnostics

                            • Hardware-specific reboot

                            User Display Strings

                            • Part numbers, such as the CPN, PID/VID

                            • Component descriptions

                            • Physical layout/dimensions

                            • OEM information

                            Updates to the Capability Catalog

                            Capability Catalog updates are included in each Cisco UCS Infrastructure Software Bundle. Unless otherwise instructed by Cisco TAC, you only need to activate the Capability Catalog update after you've downloaded, updated, and activated a Cisco UCS Infrastructure Software Bundle.

                            As soon as you activate a Capability Catalog update, Cisco UCS immediately updates to the new baseline catalog. You do not have to perform any further tasks. Updates to the Capability Catalog do not require you to reboot or reinstall any component in a Cisco UCS domain.

                            Each Cisco UCS Infrastructure Software Bundle contains a baseline catalog. In rare circumstances, Cisco releases an update to the Capability Catalog between Cisco UCS releases and makes it available on the same site where you download firmware images.


                            Note

                            The Capability Catalog version is determined by the version of Cisco UCS that you are using. For example, Cisco UCS 2.0 releases work with any 2.0 release of the Capability Catalog, but not with 1.0 releases of the Capability Catalog. For information about Capability Catalog releases supported by specific Cisco UCS releases, see the Release Notes for Cisco UCS Software accessible through the Cisco UCS B-Series Servers Documentation Roadmap available at the following URL: http:/​/​www.cisco.com/​go/​unifiedcomputing/​b-series-doc.
