c200 m2 upgrade procedure

[warquezho0612]

Hi

May I know the upgrade procedure of the c200 m2? What component needs to be upgrade in c200 m2? Is it the firmware and bios only? Does this also have a step by step process to take like in the B-Series where the last one that should be upgraded is the UCS manager and the Fabric Interconnect?

If it is a standalone server and is at release 1.2.1(d) or higher the recommendation is to use the host upgrade utility which will upgrade BIOS,Firmware, LOM, and RAID at the same time.

Here is documentation on it

Hi matthew,

Yes this is a standalone server, however the installed firmware of the CIMC and BIOS is 1.1.1 both of them, so what method should I use?

- Server Configuration utility

- Standalone host utilities

Also what is the different between the two?

Thanks,

Mark
