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 upgrade the firmware. For more information, see "(Optional) Backing up the current configuration."

To upgrade both HDM and the BIOS, upgrade HDM first.

Make sure the server operates correctly or is powered off during BIOS or HDM upgrade.

During the upgrade, make sure the network connection is available and do not refresh the Webpage.

As a best practice of bulk-upgrade from UniSystem, make sure you can upgrade one server successfully before you upgrade the remaining servers.

To avoid HDM or operating system errors, do not power on or power off the server during the firmware upgrade.

After the firmware is upgraded, delete the browsing history before you re-log in to HDM. For more information, see "Clearing the browser cache."

Upgrade both the primary image and backup image to the same image version.

For the R4950 G5 with a Rome processor, to upgrade the BIOS from a version earlier than 5.15 to version 5.15 or later, first upgrade HDM to version 2.32 or later. If you do not do so, black screen of death occurs at device restart.

For the G3 Intel servers and G5 Intel servers of a version earlier than HDM-3.11 (excluded) and later than HDM-2.25 (included), configuration import might cause a power capping issue. As a best practice, disable power capping before upgrading HDM. You can disable power capping through IPMI or from the HDM Web interface.

Upgrade recommendation

This version is optional for upgrade. 

To resolve the abnormal shutdown issue on the R4900 G5, use CPLD in V00F version.

Problems Solved

Resolved problems in HDM-3.48

Symptom: The B5700 G5 failed to interconnect with the OM module after historical passwords are disabled on BMC for the B5700 G5.

Condition: This symptom might occur if historical passwords are disabled on HDM for the B5700 G5.

Symptom: A service alarm occurs on the server due to I/O delays.

Condition: This symptom might occur if the LSI storage controller is configured and CC inspection is enabled in an in-band manner.

Symptom: You can create a logical drive in RAID 10 for the LSI-9460-8i storage controller through the Web interface. If the number of RAID arrays exceeds eight, the creation might fail, causing the storage process to get stuck.

Condition: This symptom might occur if you create a logical drive in RAID 10 for the LSI-9460-8i storage controller through the Web interface, but the number of RAID arrays exceeds eight.

Symptom: The Redfish library failed to use the HDM interface to obtain part of performance indexes incorrectly.

Condition: This symptom might occur if the Redfish library uses the HDM interface to obtain power output consumption.
