DR Series System Software Upgrade

DR Series System Software Upgrade

When you initiate a DR Series system software upgrade, the navigation panel displays only the Support page and the Software Upgrade options.

The administrator that initiated the software upgrade (considered the initiator administrator) will see a System Information pane that displays an alert that reads IMPORTANT: Please do not navigate out of this screen until the upgrade is finished, and displays the upgrade status as Upgrade in Progress... Please wait.... The Current Version and Upgrade History versions of the DR Series system software are listed in the Software Info pane.

All other administrators that may be logged into DR Series system (with the exception of the initiator administrator who started the software upgrade), will only see a dialog that displays Status: The system is being upgraded. Wait for it to become operational.

There are only three possible outcomes during a DR Series system software upgrade operation:

The upgrade operation completed successfully—no reboot is required.
•
The upgrade operation completed successfully—but a reboot is required (click Reboot in the Software Upgrade page).
•
The upgrade operation failed.

Software Upgrade Page and Options

Software Upgrade Page and Options

Upgrading the DR Series System Software

Use the Software Upgrade page to verify the current installed version of the DR Series system software in the Software Information pane, or to apply updates to the system. There are two methods you can use to display the Software Upgrade page:

•
Using the Support page, click Software Upgrade.
•
Using the navigation panel, select Support > Software Upgrade.

Both methods display the Software Upgrade page where you can verify the current installed version, check the upgrade history of previously installed software versions, verify the iDRAC IP address (if one is in use), start the upgrade process, or reboot the DR Series system using the options on this page.

 
NOTE: During the DR Series system software upgrade, the upgrade status "starting" remains displayed during almost the entire duration of the software upgrade process. It is not until the DR Series system upgrade status changes to "almost done" that the system upgrade process has fully completed.
