Preparing the scale unit node iDRACs for firmware updates

Preparing the scale unit node iDRACs for firmware updates

  • Preparation for firmware updates

    The first step in the update procedure is to make sure the iDRAC firmware of the SU nodes and HLH are at the correct level. Log in to each iDRAC for the HLH and SU nodes to validate the current firmware versions.

    On 13G servers, any firmware that is less than version 2.52.52.52 must be updated. The iDRAC firmware versions contained in the 1906 release for 13G is 2.63.60.61 for scale unit nodes and HLH. 

    For 14G scale unit nodes, any firmware that is less than version 3.21.21.21 must be updated. The iDRAC firmware versions contained in the 1906 release for 14G is 3.34.34.34 for scale unit nodes and HLH.  

    The following figure displays a 13G R730xd server with an out-of-date iDRAC version.  The iDRAC firmware version on a 14G R740xd system appears in the iDRAC’s System Information section of the Dashboard.

    Procedure

    To do the firmware updates:

    1. Log into the first scale unit’s iDRAC and go to the Job Queue.
      1. Check for old jobs that have completed but were never removed from the queue. 
      2. Delete them as needed before starting.

    On a 13G system, the job queue looks similar to the following figure:

    On a 14G system, the job queue looks similar to this Maintenance window:

    1. For 13G systems, navigate to iDRAC Settings, and then to Update and Rollback.
    2. From here, upload the iDRAC-with-Lifecycle-Controller_Firmware_40T1C_WN64_2.63.60.61_A00.EXE file for the first iDRAC in the cluster.

    1. For 14G systems, select Maintenance and then System Update. 
    2. From here, upload the iDRAC-with-Lifecycle-Controller_Firmware_3HT97_WN64_3.34.34.34_A00.EXE file for the first iDRAC in the cluster.

    This update is non-disruptive and does not require a server reboot, but it will reset the iDRAC when completed.

    1. Proceed with one scale unit at a time. Upgrade the iDRAC firmware on each node of your cluster using the correct file depending on whether it is a 13G or 14G server.

    1. After each scale unit node’s iDRAC reboots, log back into each iDRAC and validate the current firmware version. The following figure shows a 13G system.

    The following figure is similar to what you should see on a 14G system after you reboot the iDRAC:
