Update From Remote Repository

Steps to update server firmware from a remote repository

With Update from Repository, user can configure XCC to sync server firmware with a remote CIFS/NFS firmware repository. The firmware repository should contain SUP packages including binary and metadata XML files, or UXSP metadata XML and corresponding binary files. XCC parses the metadata XML files to pick out firmware packages that support OOB update for this specific system hardware then starts a batch update.

There are five update status:
  • Green check mark : The firmware’s upgrade has finished successfully.
  • Red X mark : The firmware’s upgrade has failed.
  • Updating: The firmware is undergoing the process of upgrading.
  • Cancel: The firmware’s upgrade is cancelled.
  • Waiting: The firmware’s upgrade is waiting to be deployed.
When user clicks Stop Updating it will cancel the upgrades in queue after the current installation package update is complete.

To update from repository, complete the following steps:

  1. Click Connect to remote repository after entering remote repository information.
  2. Click Update to start the batch update.
  3. Click View Details to see updating status, there are 5 categories of status as mentioned above.
  4. Click Stop Updating will cancel the upgrades in queue after the current installation package update is completed.
  5. Click Disconnect to disconnect from the remote repository.
  6. If the update requires the XClarity Controller to be restarted in order to take effect, a warning message will be displayed. For details on how to restart the XClarity Controller, see Power actions.
