Firmware packages

For XClarity One in the cloud, Lenovo ensures that the latest firmware versions are available. However, there might be cases where limited availability fixes (LAFixes) might be created by Lenovo specifically for you and need to be manually imported into the cloud portal for your organization.

For XClarity One as a local virtual machine, you need to manually download update packages from the Lenovo Data Center Support website and then import them into XClarity One.

To manually import firmware packages, clickConfiguration management tab in the context menu from the Device management view, click the Firmware tab, and then click the Add icon (Add icon) from the Firmware page.

Attention
To import large files, such as firmware packages, you must use a chormium-based browser, such as Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. Other browsers, such as Mozilla Firefox, are not supported.
Note

  • You can import only firmware packages that were created and signed by Lenovo.

  • On the Firmware Package page, you can receive metadata for firmware packages released from 2023 and later. To use the updates, you must import the metadata files along with the payload files.

  • You must import all required files base on the resource type.

    • For ThinkSystem V3 and V4 servers, import the single update package (*.zip). This zip file contains the payload, metadata files (several *.json files), change log file (*.chg) and readme file (*.txt).

    • For ThinkSystem V1, ThinkSystem V2, and ThinkEdge servers, import the payload (.zip, .uxz, .tar.gz, .tar, .bin), metadata (.xml), change log (.chg) and readme (.txt).

  • The maximum size of a single file is 2 GB.

  • These firmware packages are only available to the organization that you were in when you import the files.
