Re: Rack View Information

"How do I upgrade the firmware on the enclosures?"

You could do this by booting one of your blades with latest Firmware cd via iLO/virtual media and then select firmware update and choose "p-enclosure..."
takes around 20-30 mins to update enclosure.

If you do not want to reboot server you could also do this when server is online.

Where can I get the system tools?
It should have been installed when you installed PSP.

Question for Albert Austin
Can you update Firmware for Enclosure from Firmware CD? Had you tried or you think?
Probably bin file present, but can you make it use from CD directly? I just need exact confirmation

Re: Rack View Information

Hi Oleg,

Yes its possible. I have tried and done it for my customers. As mentioned in my above post it gives you the choice to update blade server and rack enclosure firmware.
