Host Image Mapping
Host Image Mapping is a commonly used feature for the E-Series servers which allows you to download a firmware file to Cisco IMC, and upgrade the firmware. Using Cisco UCS Director, you can create a host image mapping profile to download and upgrade either one of the following:
-
ISO firmware image
-
CIMC image or
-
BIOS image
You can download the firmware image on Cisco IMC in one of the following methods:
-
Provide a location on the network (an FTP, FTPS, HTTP or HTTPS server) where the firmware file is currently available.
