Upgrade restrictions and guidelines
Make sure the software versions are compatible with each other. For more information, see "Hardware and software compatibility matrix."
As a best practice, back up the configuration before you update the firmware. For more information, see "(Optional) Backing up the current configuration."
To update both HDM and the BIOS, update HDM first.
Make sure the server operates correctly or is powered off during BIOS or HDM update.
During the update, make sure the network connection is available and do not refresh the Webpage.
To avoid HDM or operating system errors, do not power on or power off the server during the firmware update.
After the firmware is updated, delete the browsing history before you re-log in to HDM. For more information, see "Clearing the browser cache."

Restrictions and cautions
Restrictions
If no media images are mounted, the KVM window automatically closes when the HDM Web session times out.
Each browser can establish only one session with HDM. If you attempt to establish two concurrent sessions from the same browser with different usernames, the first session will automatically end when the second session is established.
For the new HDM firmware to take effect, restart HDM after update. The system will write the flash memory during the restart.
Guidelines
This version is available for all supported servers in this document.
Make sure pop-ups are allowed on the browser.
Open problems and workarounds
List of resolved problems
Resolved problems in HDM2-1.22
202306251198
Symptom: Exporting configuration from HDM and then importing it without making any changes can cause the network configuration not to update for 5 minutes.
Condition: This symptom might occur if you export configuration from HDM and then import it without making any changes.
Resolved problems in HDM2-1.21
202306160493
Symptom: After you perform managed hot removal and hot insertion of an H3C-proprietary OCP network adapter on an R4900 G6 server, the network adapter information in HDM is displayed as N/A.

Appendix B Updating software for rack servers
The following information describes how to update the HDM firmware from the HDM Web interface for the R4900 G6 server.
Screenshots in this section are for illustration only. They might vary as the software version changes.
Hardware Device Management (HDM) is a microprocessor embedded in the server to provide server management and control. You can update HDM from the HDM Web interface without affecting server operation.
1.Open a browser, and enter the HDM management IP address in the https://hdm_ip_address format in the address bar. In this example, the HDM management IP address is 192.168.1.2.
2.On the login page, enter the username and password, and then click LogIn.
The default username is admin and the default password is Password@_.
Figure 1 HDM login page
(Optional) Backing up the current configuration
As a best practice, back up the current configuration in case the update causes a configuration loss.
To back up the current configuration:
1.On the top navigation bar, click O&M Diagnosis.
2.In the left navigation pane, select Manage Configuration.
Figure 2 Backing up the current configuration
3.Click Export to save the configuration locally.
CAUTION: Do not refresh the page during the update. Do not power on or power off the server during the update. |
To update the HDM firmware:
1.On the top navigation bar, click Firmware & Software.
2.In the left navigation pane, select Update Firmware.
3.In the work pane, perform the following tasks:
a.Select an image upload method.
b.Select the new firmware image file (.bin file).
c.(Optional.) Select an MD5 file.
d.Click Next.
Figure 3 Specifying the new HDM firmware image
4.Verify firmware information.
On this page, select the method to reboot the server after the update is complete. You can have the server automatically restart immediately. Alternatively, you can choose Manually to manually restart the server.
CAUTION: Do not enable restoring factory default, unless otherwise required by the new version. The Restore factory default option removes all user configured settings when HDM starts up with the new firmware. When you select this option, make sure you understand its impact on the services. |

5.Follow the system instructions to complete the update.
Figure 6 Upgrade start confirmation
6.Restart HDM if you selected Manually.
a.On the top navigation bar, click Firmware & Software.
b.In the left navigation pane, select Update Firmware.
c.Click Restart HDM.
Figure 7 Restarting HDM
7.Relog in to HDM. Verify that the primary image has been updated on the Dashboard page.
Figure 8 Verifying that the primary HDM firmware image has been updated
8.After HDM restarts, relog in to HDM and repeat the update process. Make sure both the primary and backup images are updated to the same version.
Handling firmware update failures
If a firmware update fails, the system starts up with the original firmware version.
To resolve the firmware update failure issue:
1.Verify that the firmware image file is compatible with your server model and is not corrupt. Download the desired image file again if the image file is incompatible with the server or is corrupt.
2.Verify that the HDM client and the HDM server have a stable network connection.
