images (DUP) may be available in optimized forms, where a single DUP may be programmed to update multiple types or models of devices of a given category.

Filtering Components for Firmware Updates Using CMC Web Interface

To filter the devices:

1.In the left pane, go to Server Overview, and then click Update .

2.On the Server Component Update page, in the Component/Device Update Filter section, select one or more of the following:

•BIOS

•iDRAC

•Lifecycle Controller

•32-Bit Diagnostics

•OS Driver Pack

•Network I/F Controller

•RAID Controller

The Component/Device Update Filter section is displayed only for the Update by File mode of firmware update.

The Firmware Inventory section displays only the associated components or devices across all servers present in the chassis. After you select an item from the drop-down menu, only the components or devices associated with the ones in the are list displayed.

After the filtered set of components and devices is displayed in the inventory section, further filtering may occur when a component or device is selected for update. For example, if the BIOS filter is selected, then the inventory section displays all the servers with only their BIOS component. If a BIOS component on one of the servers is selected, the inventory is further filtered to display the servers that match the model name of the selected server.

If a filter is not selected and a selection for update of a component or device is made on the inventory section, then the filter associated with that selection is automatically enabled. Further filtering may occur where the inventory section displays all the servers that have a match for the selected component in terms of model, type, or some form of identity. For example, if a BIOS component on one of the servers is selected for update, the filter is automatically set to the BIOS and the inventory section displays the servers that match the model name of the selected server.
