Dell EMC Cloud for Microsoft Azure Stack Hub Manual Firmware and Update Process for Builds 1710 to 1906
Manually Updating Scale Unit Node Firmware
Overview of scale unit node firmware updates Prerequisites Preparing the scale unit node iDRACs for firmware updates Preparing HLH iDRAC for firmware updates Updating settings for scale unit node updates Validating HLH firmware, BIOS, and iDRAC settings compliance

Validating HLH firmware, BIOS, and iDRAC settings compliance

  • Now we need to perform the firmware, BIOS, and iDRAC validation on the HLH server.

    1. If you haven’t done so already on the OME VM, browse back to C:\ComplianceTools and double-click on the Load Compliance Tools shortcut, which brings up the Select Load Compliance Tools PowerShell window.
    1. Perform the HLH firmware compliance checks:

    “Invoke-CheckFirmwareBaseline –IPAddresses <HLH iDRAC IP address> –iDRACCredential (Get-Credential) -oemExtensionPath “DUPS” –ManagementServerAddress < OME VM OS IP > –ManagementServerCredential (Get-Credential)”

    Figure 33.               HLH firmware compliance

    Note: If remediation is necessary, follow the same manual process that was followed with the scale unit nodes. That is, clear the iDRAC job queue, upload the HLH firmware updates one at a time to the iDRAC in the order they were listed in the Catalog.xml file, and apply.

    1. Perform HLH server BIOS compliance checks:

     “Invoke-CheckBIOSSettings –IPAddress <HLH iDRAC IP> –iDRACCredential (Get-Credential)”

    Figure 34.               Performing HLH server BIOS compliance checks

    Note: If any of the BIOS settings come back with required changes to be applied, simply run the same command with the “-remediate” parameter.  If required, the HLH will automatically reboot.

    Note: The scripts will error with a message if the node being worked on is not in a powered-down state and the “-remediate” parameter is used. 

    Example:

    “Invoke-CheckBIOSSettings –IPAddresses <single IP address of current scale unit node’s iDRAC> –iDRACCredential (Get-Credential) -remediate”

    1. Perform HLH server iDRAC compliance checks:

    “Invoke-CheckiDRACSettings –IPAddress <HLH iDRAC IP> –iDRACCredential (Get-Credential)”

    Figure 35.               Performing HLH server iDRAC compliance checks

    Note: The iDRAC settings function automatically validates and remediates since a change to the iDRAC settings does not reboot the server.
