UCS 2.1(1A) UPGRADE PROCEDURE

[BALAMURUGAN SINGARAM]

We have UCS 2.1(1a), we plan to upgrade UCS to latest version. Please let me know the procedure to upgrade.

Manually upgrade or Auto upgrade which one is best option ? We have two Fabric interconnect  [FI-A and FI-B],  to upgrade do need to follow the upgrade procedure both the FI or FI-A alone, FI-B get sync with FI-A later. Please advice on this.

I would use autoinstall; first start with autoinstall infrastructure (UCSM, FI, IOM) the servers.
