Any there any firmware updates for the CSS UCS C240?

[StephanMC]

Team,

So I've been searching on support.cisco.com trying to see if there are any firmware/bios updates available for the CSS UCS C240 servers that I have.

Sadly; nothing comes up when searching for anything surveillance related in the support downloads section.

For the supports the UCS C240M3 section shown here; only shows the rack server but nothing surveillance:

Anyone have a working link?

Trying to see if there is a firmware upgrade that will work with a never java version for the KVM.

the latest server firmware upgrades are available of May 2016 (this month)

See attached file showing HUU firmware update for UCS-C240-M3, which is the equivalent for the CPS-UCS-2RU-K9 server.

burn that to a disc and burn from it, or if you have the CIMC configured, mount as a virtual image, boot from it, and proceed with the firmware update. 

I just updated some new servers for a client, hope that helps :)

Stephen,

also upgrade the server firmware using the latest host update utility (HUU) disc for all your servers as I suggested. You should not have to update the adapter firmware separately. 

[StephanMC]

Couldnt get the HUU to work and extracted the files from it and doing it as a two part.

[gtoscano1]

 are you doing a local cd update or remote using the virtual cd? what errors did you get when you tried to update it?

I have updated so many servers with HUU using local and remote, and have never had an issue (that's pretty amazing that for Cisco).
