1 Locate the secondary or standby CMC by using the RACADM getsysinfo
command, or by using the Chassis Summary page in the Web-based
interface. Visually, the status indicator is solid blue on the primary or
active CMC module and off on the standby or secondary CMC (see
Figure 1-14).
2 Update the firmware on the standby CMC first. See "Updating the CMC
Firmware Using the Web-Based Interface" on page 37 or "Updating the
CMC Firmware Using RACADM" on page 37.
3 Verify that the secondary or standby CMC's firmware is at the requested
level with the getsysinfo command or through the Web-based interface.
4 After the standby CMC has rebooted, update the firmware on the active or
primary CMC. Please allow 10 minutes for the standby CMC to boot.
See "Updating the CMC Firmware Using the Web-Based Interface" on
page 37 or "Updating the CMC Firmware Using RACADM" on page 37.
5 Verify that the active or primary CMC firmware is at the requested level
using the getsysinfo command or through the Web-based interface.
6 Once both CMCs are updated to the same firmware revision, use the
cmcchangeover command to reset the CMC in the left slot as primary.
Downloading the CMC Firmware
Before beginning the firmware update, download the latest firmware version
from support.dell.com, and save it to your local system.
The following software components are included with your CMC firmware
package:
• Compiled CMC firmware code and data
• Web-based interface, JPEG, and other user interface data files
• Default configuration files
Use the Firmware Update page to update the CMC firmware to the latest
revision. When you run the firmware update, the update retains the current
CMC settings.
NOTE:
The firmware update, by default, retains the current CMC settings. During
the update process, you have the option to reset the CMC configuration settings
back to the factory default settings.
