Appendix B Upgrading software

The following information describes how to upgrade the iFIST software.

About iFIST

The integrated Fast Intelligent Scalable Toolkit (iFIST) is a single-server management tool embedded in a server. It enables you to perform a range of server configuration and management tasks, including:

Configuring RAID arrays.

Installing an operating system.

Installing drivers.

Diagnosing the health and performance of the server components.

Managing configuration.

Downloading logs .

Updating firmware.

Secure data clearing.

Upgrading iFIST

Procedure

1.Download the most recent iFIST image file from the H3C website to a storage media.

The storage media can be a physical drive or a virtual CD.

2.Mount the storage media to the server.

Make sure the server has only one bootable media mounted. If the server has multiple bootable media mounted, the server might fail to locate the correct boot media and upgrade of iFIST will fail as a result.

3.Select upgrade option Install iFIST and start the upgrade process.

4.Reboot the server after the upgrade is complete.

5.Verify that iFIST is successfully upgraded.

Example: Upgrading iFIST on a server

This example applies to iFIST upgrade in UEFI boot mode. The image file is stored in a virtual CD which can be mounted through KVM.

To upgrade iFIST in UEFI boot mode:

1.Log in to HDM.

2.Mount the iFIST image file to the HDM remote console as follows:

a.On the HDM Web interface, navigate to the Remote Control > Remote Console page, as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 2 Remote Console page

C:\Users\l11799\Desktop\en.PNG

 

a.Launch the remote console.

b.Select Media > Virtual Media Wizard from the top menu bar.

The Virtual Media window opens and displays the CD/DVD tab by default, as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 3 Virtual Media window

d.Click Browse next to a CD Image field to select the iFIST image file, and then click Open. 

e.Click Connect.

3.Reboot the server.

The POST screen opens upon completion of the server initialization, as shown in Figure 3.

Figure 4 POST screen (BIOS 2.00.26)

D:\00-资料文档开发\01-平台化BIOS用户指南\D028问题单\捕获2.JPG

 

4.Press ESC or DEL.

The BIOS setup screen opens.

5.Select the Sava & Exit menu, as shown in Figure 4.

Figure 5 BIOS setup screen

6.Select UEFI:AMI Virtual CDROM0 1.00 and press Enter.

iFIST installation starts, as shown in Figure 5.

 

IMPORTANT:

Do not remove the boot media during the upgrade process. If the boot media is removed before the upgrade completes, you must re-attach the boot media to the server, reboot the server, and restart the upgrade process.

 

Figure 6 Installing iFIST

7.After the installation is complete, the system automatically ejects the installation media, as shown in Figure 6. Then, press Enter to reboot the server.

Figure 7 Removing the installation media

8.On the Web interface of iFIST, click 图片 72 in the upper right corner to verify that iFIST is upgraded successfully.

Handling software upgrade failures

If a software upgrade fails, the system runs the old software version. To handle a software failure:

1.Verify that the software upgrade package being used is compatible with the server model.

2.Verify that the software upgrade package is not corrupted. Download a new software upgrade package if needed.
