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 y our system for each release upgrade that you perform. If you try to upgrade more than

one release at a time without rebooting, the upgrades will not be successful.

Prior to Starting the Upgrade

Prior to starting the upgrade, do the following:

• Make sure that the person who is performing the upgrade is logged in as admin.

• I/O to the UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance must be quiesced prior to the upgrade installation. 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 Invicta Appliance after a reboot, Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC)

access will be necessary.

• Check the health of the SD using 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 Cisco TAC.

Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance Upgrade Procedure Guide

Cisco HUU Upgrade from 1.5(4) to 2.0(3i)

• Check the health of the storage RAID device using the Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance GUI

to ensure that there are no degraded RAID devices. If the storage RAID is degraded, contact Cisco

TAC.

• Ensure that there are no scheduled snapshots.

• Be aware that a reboot of the Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance is required after each upgrade

is completed.

Cisco Host Upgrade Utility (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.

Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance Upgrade Process

Note During the HUU upgrade process, a network connection termination message appears after 10 minutes

because of the CIMC reset. It is best to have a continuous ping to the CIMC IP address. At this point, go

back to CIMC and relaunch the KVM Console.

Figure 8 HUU Error Message

Note When the BIOS is the component to be upgraded, the system will reset at the end of the process. The

connection to the KVM Console will be lost. The system will reboot automatically. This process takes

approximately 10 minutes. It is best to have a continuous ping to the CIMC IP address.

When the upgrade process is complete, CIMC will reflect the new 2.(3i) version.

Caution Should you encounter any error or issue during the upgrade process, contact technical support before

trying to uninstall the upgrade. Attempting to uninstall the upgrade could potentially cause data integrity

and/or performance issues.
