IO Module Firmware update issue

[tohoken]

All,

I am trying to update the firmware of the IO Modules from 1.3.1p to 1.4.1i.  I have uploaded the firmware and when I activate it I choose to ignore compatibility tests.  The IO module then resets and goes through a reboot process.  After a little while the status changes to ready but the running firmware is still 1.3.1p.  I have also tried by selecting to place it in the start up only and then reset the IO module but the results are the same.  This happens on both IO modules.  The interface cards and the CIMC both updated without issue but I am stuck at the IO modules.  Has anyone else run into this?  Does anyone have any ideas what the problem may be?

Thanks,

Ken

The I/O modules get upgraded at the same time as the Fabric Interconnects when they reload and upgrade.  Upgrade one of the FI's reboot it and the I/O module should upgrade at the same time.  Note that in the activation page you should see "pending next reboot" next to the I/O modules for that fabric before you reboot the FI.

Thanks Brandes.  I did just that and the IO modules updated at the same time.

Thanks for the help.
