Cisco delivers firmware updates in a single bundle to upgrade all Cisco IMC Supervisor components. Firmware updates can be downloaded from cisco.com. You cannot upgrade if a server is not managed in Cisco IMC Supervisor. For downloading the E-Series firmware images you must associate a contract access to the cisco.com account.

Upgrading Firmware
Before you begin
-
If you are upgrading to Cisco IMC version 2.0(x), you must change the default Cisco IMC password.
-
If you are upgrading firmware using a local firmware image profile on servers running Cisco IMC versions prior to 3.0(3e), then you must enable HTTP in Cisco IMC Supervisor. For information on enabling and disabling HTTP using the Cisco IMC Supervisor Shell Admin console, see the Cisco IMC Supervisor Shell Guide, Release 2.2.
Note |
Cisco does not recommend simultaneous upgrade of both servers that are part of a single Cisco UCS S3260 Dense Storage Rack Server chassis. Before upgrading Cisco IMC Supervisor and if a firmware profile was already set up, ensure that the CCO credentials and proxy details are configured. See Configuring Cisco.com User and Configuring Proxy Settings. |
