Getting Started
Clicking System Update on the Cisco UCS Invicta Appliance C3124SA GUI Support Settings window
opens a dialog box that asks the Administrator to choose the system update file (service pack) that was
sent by Cisco, which must be saved locally.
Uploading this file loads the system update onto the Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance. After the
file has been authenticated by the system, the Administrator is prompted through the remaining update
process.
Caution You must reboot your system for EACH release upgrade you perform. If you try to upgrade more than
one release at a time without rebooting, your upgrades will not be successful.
Note Be sure to read and acknowledge the Cisco End User License Agreement or the update will not initiate.
Prior to Starting the Upgrade
Prior to starting the upgrade, do the following:

Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance Upgrade Procedure Guide, Version 5.0.x
Prior to Starting the Upgrade
• Make sure that the person who is performing the upgrade is logged in as admin.
• I/O to the Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance must be quiesced prior to the upgrade installation.
Please refer to your host OS and application vendor's instructions to quiesce I/O.
• Download the upgrade patch file from Cisco.com.
• To monitor the Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance after a reboot, ensure that you have CIMC
access.
• Check the SD's health using the Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC) to ensure that
there are no degraded RAID devices (in CIMC, go to Storage Tab > Cisco FlexFlash). If an SD
RAID is degraded, contact TAC.
• Check the storage RAID device health using the Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance GUI to
ensure that there are no degraded RAID devices. If the storage RAID is degraded, contact TAC.
• Ensure that there are no scheduled snapshots.
• An Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance reboot is required after each upgrade is completed.
• Ensure that all Cisco UCS Invicta C324SA hardware is running CIMC Release version 2.0(3i).
Note HUU 2.0(3i) addresses a memory leak issue where the user was unable to access Cisco IMC using SSH
or HTTP. However, pinging Cisco IMC was successful.
• Download HUU 2.0(3i):
https://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=284296254&flowid=31743&softwareid=283
850974&release=2.0%283i%29&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=latest
• User guide for HUU upgrade:

–
Version 7 Update 55 (build 1.7.0_55-b13)
–
Version 7 Update 67 (build 1.7.0_67-b01)
• Set the security level to Medium in the Java Control Panel.
