Once a catalog is established, it can be used to establish a Firmware Compliance baseline to check compliance to that catalog. This blog focuses on the validated firmware solution baseline.Ĭatalogs can be added to OME-M through the Configuration > Firmware Compliance section of the OME-M GUI. Catalogs based on baselines are available approximately 30 days after the release of a new OME-M version. The most common catalog method is the Validated firmware solution baseline on and will ensure you follow the baseline. Network Path (Custom catalog from Dell Repository Manger).Validated firmware solution baseline on.Firmware location and catalogsĬatalogs are a list of firmware available for the components and devices installed on the chassis. The firmware baseline information can also be seen at the Networking Support & Interoperability Matrix. The details are listed in a table within the Updating firmware for PowerEdge MX section. The MX7000 Chassis User Guide will contain the current baseline for that release and baselines for past OME-M. Each release of the OME-Modular software includes an update to the firmware baseline.
MX Platform phased update order MX7000 Solution BaselineĪll components and devices within the MX chassis are tested as a validated solution stack or firmware baseline. Although the order is different, the steps to update OME-M and network IOMs remain the same. Note: The update order for versions prior to OME-M 2.00.00 recommended an order of servers, followed by OME-M, and then network IOMs. In the sections below, the instructions will provide additional information when updating multichassis or using different IOM operating modes. The following image shows the update order for all deployment types. After updating the Networking IOMs, please refer to the MX7000 Chassis User Guide linked above for server update instructions. This blog will follow the phased update order process. Note: If updating to a version prior to OME-M 2.00.00 or updating from a version prior to OME-M 1.40.00, use the update process documented in the section titled Updating firmware for PowerEdge MX solution in the appropriate Dell OpenManage Enterprise – Modular Edition PowerEdge MX7000 Chassis User’s Guide. The new process, called phased update order, is supported for upgrading from OME-M 1.40.xx to OME-M 2.00.00 and later. Starting with OME-M 2.00.00, a new recommended order for updating the MX chassis and all its components has been documented in Appendix B of the Dell OpenManage Enterprise – Modular Edition Version 2.00.00 for PowerEdge MX7000 Chassis User’s Guide. This blog will go through all the necessary steps to update both the Dell OME-Modular application and the networking IOMs for all types of deployments.
