Hitachi COMPUTE BLADE 500 SERIES Management Module Setup Manual page 317

• Updating multiple types of server blades is not available. A single type of
multiple server blades can be updated at the same time.
Tip: You can update firmware for multiple CB 520H A1/B1/B2 units, for
example. Updating firmware for CB 520H A1/B1/B2 and CB 520A A1
simultaneously is not supported.
The type of a server blade is shown as Product name by clicking
Resources tab > Modules > All Modules > Server blades > Server
blade x > Hardware tab on Web console. For details, see the Hitachi
Compute Blade 500 Series Web Console User's Guide.
When you need to update the firmware on multiple types of server
blades, update one type of server blades completely and then do another
type.
• Since BMC reboots during updating the server blade firmware,
communicating with the management module may be disconnected. The
following warning SEL is collected at the time, which has no problem.
Server blade: SVP-BMC communication error (IPMI over LAN)
• Never remove or operate the server blade during updating the server
blade firmware.
• If firmware is updated when the server blade is in operation, UEFI update
contained in the server blade firmware will be applied when the server
blade is powered on next time. Powering on the server blade takes longer
than usual at that time.
• When you power on a server blade during updating, the server blade is
powered on after the update.
• Do not power off the first POST after background processing. If you do,
the server blade may not properly start up depending on the timing.
• If a management module is switched when you execute update on the
management module console, the update fails. Remove the error factor
and then execute update again.
In SMP configuration, update all server blades in the configuration.
