UCS Update 2.1->2.2

[chrisrost]

Hi folks,

my actual constellation 2x6248 / 1x5108 / 3xB200M3 will get an upgrade wih 2 B200 M4.

For the new VIC in B200M4 i need to update the UCS to Firmware 2.2.

My question is:

Do i first Update the Servers and after that the Infrastructure or the other way round?

Thanks for your tipps.

Chris

Chris,

The upgrade process is going to depend on what version you are upgrading from.

The upgrade guides can be found at the below link.

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/servers-unified-computing/ucs-manager/products-installation-guides-list.html

However, make sure you read through the guides thoroughly, as there may be specific steps depending on what release you are currently using. For example, see below (from the 2.1 to 2.2 guide).

If you are upgrading from a release prior to 2.1(3a) or 2.2(1b), you may be impacted by CSCuh61202. This defect affects FC traffic on the Cisco 1240, Cisco 1280, and Cisco M81KR adapters. To avoid this situation and reduce the number of server reboots, you must first upgrade the adapter and server firmware using a host firmware package, and then proceed with the corresponding infrastructure upgrade. This is an exception to the normal upgrade procedure. For more details, refer to https:/​/​tools.cisco.com/​bugsearch/​bug/​CSCuh61202.
