Firmware Update CD 8.4 Question on Class C

[Douglas Spooner]

Hi

Just updating the firmware on our BL460C Blades using the new 8.40 FW CD.

Just about to apply all the updates and then I noticed it said the localhost operating system was SUSE Linux Enterprise Server rather than Windows 2003 Ent 64-bit. Unless this is the OS that the CD uses to boot from?

I know the firmware is independant of the OS I just thought this was a bit odd.

Any comments?

Yes...firmware CD runs Linux to install the updates.

Doug,
This is on our list of fixes for the next Firmware CD release. When you boot from the CD, it will show "Offline - Local Server" instead of showing "SuSE Linux Enterprise Server". This was a relic left from when we added support to show the running OS on the target.
