UCS 2.0(1t) Firmware Upgrade and "Missing or Incompatible BIOS Image"

[Tom MacDonald]

Hello,

After installing firmware 2.0(1t) I got the gollowing error when booting up the blades in the General - Status Details:

"Missing or Incompatible BIOS Image"

Has anyone experienced this, if so what is the fix?

Thanks

Mike,

Is the blade running the latest BIOS from the 2.0(1t) package for the selected model?

Compare the blade inventory BIOS version, to the 2.0(1t) BIOS image for your blade model.

Regards,

Robert

Yes the blade inventory is different than what is running....

Can you try to create a new Host FW package with just the BIOS for this blade (B200 M1/M2) from the 2.0(1t) package and associate it to your Service Profile - then re-ack the blade.

Regards,

Robert

Hi Mike,

If you have a service profile associated to the blade with a host update packge defined with no options selected for the BIOS, you could see this fault.

As rob mentioned specify the BIOS to which you want to upgrade the firmware and the error should go away.

The fault raised is meant to warn admins to a possible misconfiguration/upgrade.  This functionality was introduced in UCSM 2.0.  Really it's just a warning, but doesn't necessaryily mean you have a problem.  Setting the appropriate BIOS image in your Host FW policy will fix.

We're tracking this bug as CSCts57097

So now it shows both, is this normal?

It is normal for both to be shown.  The 2.0.1d BIOS version is included in both 2.0(1t)B and 2.0(1s)B bundles since the BIOS was not changed between these two versions.  UCSM shows both package versions to indicate the firmware could have come from either package.
